Hi guys, I noticed on 5 or 6 occasions now, when trying to take off from the lights with my VRX that the car is hesitant to take off. It seems to be NOTHING to do with the gears as the car is going along fine and even before the gear is due to change (auto), it gets a jerky acceleration, then...

Car is running fine, but have just moved so I decided to use a mobile mechanic. He rocked up and told my missus all the plugs have to be replaced with platinum ones so I told her over the phone - just do the minor service as I asked.

Hi All, I am trying to fit some DRLs and was looking at the 380 section on hints. Did not realise that the KW does not have a wiper fuse in the engine bay for ignition switched power. Looking at the fuse box cover, there does not seem to be any, unless I am mistaken. I did test some of them and...

Any ideas? It's not wired wrong, as this only just...

Need to go to the driver's door and flick the key in the lock to turn it off. We tried various scenarios...
