Always good to get muffin

On the hunt for a replacement MI cable adaptor , as you can see from this the lightning connector has been gradually fraying due to overbending....note to self pay more attention to the new one! Waiting for a price from MB Grangemouth but located and ordered a used one from the US meantime

Got a texted to say your parts have arrived for the exhaust, so I quickly loaded up the 55 and dropped it off a the engineers



Picked up the new tyre and repaired rim for the 55
Also loaded up the 500 ready to drop off at Giles tomorrow



Plenty of ABC fluid where it shouldn't be



Glad it happened when I arrived home and not during the journey

Finally got round to fitting my new door puddle lights. Now I know they divide opinion on this forum, but I quite like them

This car is going to end up like a Gypsies caravan if he isn't careful

Do you find the App drains your phone battery horrendously?

Do you find the App drains your phone battery horrendously?

Not noticed Jon, but then (until this cable gave up) I usually have my phone plugged in charging via the MI cable in the centre console ‘out of sight’, Not sure how much its draining in the background when my phones not charging. I got a new iphone Xr so I’ll try to monitor is better (now that i’ve 100% effective battery again!)

I know that my mate found this with his ME app. Had nightmares with it, apparently it's constantly running in the background. He reckons it's better now with the latest update but still a resource hugging thing.

Just checked mine but of course in battery useage per app it just shows’ connected to charger’ as I only reinstalled it last night. Interesting to see what happens over the next week or so

Exactly, it constantly tries to connect to the car 24 hours a day

No John I've got no more dollies left to throw out of my pram!!
Blimey, 55 of us I'm sure someone will want to talk flowers or soap up dates to keep the Missus amused
Speaking of which, shes taken my 55 this morning, so I still don't get to hear the new sound Come to think of it, I'm not going to hear its new sound till Monday

Hope she remembers to double lock it

If there are 55 cars (a lot with ABC suspension) that's going to impact the recovery services for the area
