Got one 2 years ago, 2017 model.
Been no problems at all really. 7 seats come in handy, big boot when the seats are down. Drives well but nothing fancy. Looked at a few options and also got some advice off a 9 fingered lad that posts on here and decided to go for it and haven't regretted it since.

The USB port on my car seems to have been pushed into the dashboard bit below the radio, any easy way of fixing this?

Lads, if you leave something in the cigarette lighter port yoke with engine off, does it still draw power? Little LED is still on the device i have plugged in with engine off.

No power from the cigarette lighter in my car if the ignition is off anyway.

All cars are different, fords you can use USB/cigarette charger with engine off, Hyundai’s for example can’t be used. 
If the light is on then there’s power there, but if nothing connect there’s no draw so won’t affect the battery

Check covers on back of headlamp to make sure they’re there and they’re fitted correctly, if they’re missing moisture will get in & blow bulbs

There are what’s like little rubber boots that slip over the bulb connection, the stem of the back of the bulb that you slip the connector on to seem to be getting heated ( there is like a light browning of the metal) when I go to change the bulb when it’s not working sometimes the fecking thing comes back on when I go at it.

Have really bad condensation on the front and rear windscreens every morning and evening after work, all the other cars parked beside it are clear. Could it be something in the car causing it? Cheers.

200e to replace all 4 glow sticks sound about right?


Got these replaced in Oct for 100e. Light still came on and the engine management system said it was still the glow plug.
Bought a glow plug with pressure sensor for about 80e and the mechanic replaced it (no charge).

He's going to replace the connector now. Not sure of the cost yet.

On most cars this component will not trigger the engine management light. 

Any thoughts on this?

Check and see if there is water leaking into the car. Are your windscreen washers working ok as sometimes the tubes can leak within the car.
