Today I.....

Not sure about my Webasto from today. Temp was 8 degrees when I started the car so wasn't expecting anything, but it went down to 7 degrees within half a mile. Not sure if it kicked in or not, I didn't get any appreciable heat through and then the outside temp went back up anyway. I suppose any heat at that point is better than I should have been expecting. Should be colder here tomorrow, I'll find out on startup for sure.
Despite many comments about the Webasto kicking in at 7 degrees, I believe that it actually does it at 5, which is what mine does.
 
Needn't have worried. 6°C showing on startup today and the Webasto came straight in. Judging from where I felt the first warmth coming through on my journey I reckon it was actuallly briefly active yesterday too.

Looking for an emoji for :toasty: but :cool: ( : cool : ) will have to do!
 
second that, had to scrape the ice this morning, not a lot but had to remove before I could see out of the passenger side front window. Webasto kicked in after a few seconds and I turned the heated seats to No3, warm as toast after a min or so. I do love heated seats :)
My one with the Webasto has cloth seats, so seat heating isn't really necessary. The other one has the electric element cabin heater and leather though, so I really appreciate the bum-warmers in that on a cold morning. I can recommend them for 'driech' also, from experience on the Skye social this year!
 
Today I did the sums and worked out my A2 has now paid for itself after just 10 weeks of ownership! So I now have a free car, even with all the money I have spent on it, bad news by the time I get back home tomorrow I will have hit the mileage limit my company sets for use of a personal car ?

Oh b****r. Lol

So now you just need to get another one, right? ?
 
.... decided to install the new false floor, took it all apart and discovered my car doesn't have the captive nuts installed .... pants ....
 
Are you sure Andy ?
All A2's I've seen have the captive nuts present with the exception of the captive nuts at the very back of the car, nut and bolts can be used for these with the exception of one which you cant get at to attach a nut, so I leave this one without a fastening (there are more than enough anyway)
The captive nuts normally have aluminium foil in front of them

Cheers,
Paul
 
Most definitely, I have holes and no nuts. Looks like rivnuts would fit but they would need to be pulled in from behind, so I have ordered some M8 nylock flange nuts.

I like your thinking! Although I’m planning on spending the mileage money on the big jobs next year, fancy a JDD gearbox and then whatever the MOT throws up. Good news when I checked my emails today, my boss only processed 2 of my 3 hire car requests, so I’m still in the A2 for next weeks 1000 mile tour of England ?
 
Today I did a round trip from Cornwall to Edinburgh and back. Up via flybe, back via "Haggis" as he is to be known.
543 miles drive home, averaged 63.1mpg. Had some pretty pants rain and wind from Birmingham onwards. Still a successful trip and I am very pleased with Haggis ?.
I look forward to adding the goodies that I have stashed in the man cave.
Bed for me now, I'm POOPED!!

Now that’s an epic trip for one day. Not another one ?

No photo until I fit the other aerial when it arrives. The Pure 600 lives in the passenger side A pillar trim.

@cheechy So this is how I attach the external DAB aerial to the Pure 600. A piece of 0.3mm copper strip replacing the stick on plastic aerial in the plug. The plastic one will just pull out with a bit of force. Then solder the inner wire of the aerial lead to the copper and earth the shield wire. Voila, much better quality signal.

Thanks!

With the through glass aerial can you quantify how much better the signal showing on the highway 600 is?
