  4. Sorry I can't fathom it. I come from a BMW where I had 3 modes : 1 - Default - everything on, ie stability and TC 2 - Stability on but TC off so you could spin the rears to move off in the snow or mud. 3 - Everything off. You're on your own. There was one button. Press it once and you go to 2. Press is for 5 seconds and you go to 3 I have read the instructions but I simply don't comprehend how many modes there are, what they do and how I get there on the GT86. Thanks for any guidance.

    Maybe, and I have been driving it in reverse for the oversteer!

    My car is 2012 though.
  7. I think the cloth is superb, it stays warm/cool. £1,600 is mental but because that option doesn't hold its value, you only have to pay a small fraction of that second hand, maybe £200 or so.

    Just to clarify : texts are being read to me and I can hear a voice asking me if I want to dial the texter. I am not inventing it.

    I have Windows phone too so it may explain. It only works with that OS maybe, Which is great tbh !

    Confused now. How come does it offer me to call texter back or "I am done" verbally and that when I answer, it executes the command ? That does sound like some kind of voice control surely ?

    Thank you. Another question while I am at it . My car reads texts, which is great. It also allows me to call the texter back, so there must be some form of voice control. There is a microphone in the middle of the steering wheel just in front of the rev counter. Does that mean I can also make calls using voice control even when not prompted ? I couldn't find anywhere to program and record names. I don't seem to have a very sophisticated stereo thingy, it doesn't even have the car button giving me access to tyre pressure or fuel range...

    One question : the orange airbag light warning not to put a kid's seat at the front is on permanently on the centre console : normal or not ? I can't stop driving it. Last time I felt like that about a car was my 2.5 Boxster... in 2002!

    Cheers guys. It might indeed be automatic. I'll call them on Monday.

    Maybe, but it's not off the road though, it's being driven by the new owner... Post office ? Is this 1953 ? Thx either way !!

    The car is a giggle. Sorry too dark for pics... Also, having sold my car today, does anyone know how to get a refund of the 10-month tax still on it ? Ta.

    Sorry FN it was pretty obvious lol. You did well at that price. I missed that one clearly, must have been a long way from down South. Did you buy privately ? Back to tyres : is anyone running AD08Rs ?

    Yeah the F1s seem to have a good reputation. What colour is your car ?
