Had a similar problem in my 2018 Golf last week. Re-installed Android Auto in the Samsung phone, and all good. Don't ask me why...

That's what it's all about...

Could be you're a leadfinger...

Took the MC-V for a 'spirited' drive, on traffic-free roads, today. Just to remind myself how much I like to drive it...

Don't worry Jones, Mr Mainwaring is not about to PANIC...

An apostrophe walked into a bar. Nobody knew where it should go...

I've found 'poly' bushes don't have the same characteristics as rubber. They are 'harsher', and tend to deteriorate rather quickly too. OK for race cars, etc, if they are replaced regularly...

A spoiler can come in handy. This one on my son's Lotus Elise was put to good use :-

It's a sign of the times. Don't know what that means, but it seemed appropriate...

That belongs in the Terrible Jokes thread...

I like the "War Chest" metaphor, Phil. It's a bit like that...

Couldn't agree more. Still chuffed at doing the SKF rear track-rod bearings replacement on the MCV. Your help, with very clear instructions, made the job a snack, Zep. Saved me thousands of $s, AND I enjoyed the journey...

I asked my (independent) mechanic about doing a clutch wear check on my MCV. He thinks it's just another thing to 'worry' about. "When the clutch starts to give trouble is the time to replace it" was his advice.

Sure is...

I'm quite sure I would not have these current cars, if I went on advice from others. I buy what I want :- 1924 Lancia Lambda, 1925 Vauxhall 30-98, 1938 Morgan 4/4, 1954 VW Beetle, AND 2006 Maserati MCV. Oh, and my daily drive is a 2018 Golf wagon (estate) - AND it's WHITE...
