That may or may not be true but their stuff is based on/in agreement with Police driving (within certain legal restrictions). It's unlikely to be complete ********. I'm the sort of annoying git that questions everything (which was noted by my IAM observer) but I still found that everything the IAM recommends seemed, ultimately, to have a good (IMHO) reason for it. -- Z Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather (sold) 'Oil' be seeing you..

The push-button start Alfas (e.g. my Brera, and the 159 loan cars I've driven) require you to have the clutch (or brake) pedal fully depressed before the starter will operate. I go for the clutch because it means once the engine is running all I have to do is shove it into a gear and go. -- DAS |
