I had the app on my phone which was relevant to the year of our car, but now the new A Class is out it auto updated with an app that is useless to me now :(

I honestly don't understand why men don't read manuals, they are there for a reason. I always get ticked off when we buy something and Keith just randomly goes about assembling it without looking at the manual.

On the topic of auto vs manual I was talking to a friend in Canada yesterday and he told me that if you pass your driving test in an auto car there you can still drive a manual car, that seems kind of crazy to me :confused:

We do stuff without the manual because we can...(or think we can).

It's because it's more fun to just dive straight in..!

That said, I did sit down with the manual for my car when I bought it and I did learn some interesting stuff.

Probably as there are so few manual cars for it to make much difference.

I drove Emily's manual Yaris last week ..... I only stalled it once :D(cos I was in 3rd & not 1st .... 6sp manual :coffee: )

I enjoy the challenge of getting it right without the manual, but would never ask on a forum unless I'd read the manual first.
