    TAILPIPE TRIM part number

    Nope - I don't think it's that because the part number above necessitates cutting off the existing tail pipe ends and tack welding the new tip on. Think it is maybe something to do with the 170 having the DPF meaning it chucks out less junk in the form of black soot particles? Maybe?

    "Starting" problem on TDi 140

    TomTom Mount

    Get a peice of heavy glass cut to fit inside the coin tray. Get the edges polished so they are not sharp. Then you can use the supplied suction mount, attach it to the glass and place it in the coin tray. Should work a treat.

    No brake lights (Switch issue)

    You just need to remove the lower panel under the steering wheel. then get your head in the footwell and have a look at the top of the brake pedal. It's very obvious when you get in there. Get a new switch from your local GSF Car parts, they're as cheap as chips.
