    Flat battery and boot won't open at all

    On my 09 QP when this happened you could sometimes get in by pushing down slightly on the boot as you pushed the button to release it. If that doesn’t work and you’re feeling very brave... But entirely at your own risk :) Either way the answer for me was a new boot release motor!

    Normandy route

    Couple of thoughts to add to the mix - - Deauville is the bling seaside resort but does have some lovely 1920s and 1930s buildings. It gets pretty busy in the summer though. -Cabourg is a smaller and more relaxed sister further down the road - with a huge beach but quite tight parking (even...

    Another Variator question

    Well it’s my turn to join this thread sadly... car is at HR Owen doing initial fix but could well need the full variator job doing. They’re quoting 5k extra for this so I’m keen to look in to non main dealer options especially given how much labour will be in that price. Any suggestions of...

    Bodywork in North London

    Hi there Someone opened a door in to the back door of my QPV which has creased it and left some white marks on it so the paint probably needs touching up too. Has anyone had any good (value) experiences getting their bodywork fixed around North London? The car lives on the street so it...

    So we're expecting a junior occupant...

    Thanks everyone - much appreciated! Hadn't considered the advantage of being able to clip it in to the pram so sounds like a more complicated decision to make...will go and have a look at options but might well be in touch Dicky! Cheers

    So we're expecting a junior occupant...

    Sorry for lurking for a while - back with a bit of a random question... We've had our QP about 6 months now and absolutely love it. Fantastic sound, impressive handling for 2 tonnes of comfortable barge and staggeringly good MPG (sometimes indicating 27 on a long run - perhaps the sensor is...
