Jake P
The black plastic strip under my 147's front air dam (the bit that hits all
the speed bumps) has become almost totally disconnected and is now only just
hanging on.
Anybody know what a dealer would charge to supply and fit a new one?
Cheers

When cold, there is a nasty vibrating sound coming from the front

this - worn suspension bushes?
It seems to happen even when standing...

166 Flat battery by
david_dance
According to the handbook, trickle charging the battery or starting via jump
leads should only be carried out by "authorised AR services".
