I have been patient and never bought those B2 seats...local scrapyard obtained a B1 mfl with exactly the same trim as mine!
Now I have a matching folding front seat and I have also bought the rear bench cushion, modified by slicing about 2" for a flat cargo area when folding the rear ones.

I turned all the auto lights off on the Yaris , we don't drive very often at night but the auto dipping was too slow in my opinion I hate being dazzled by oncoming vehicles & certainly don't want to do it to other motorists,  the one thing that is excellent on it are the screen washers really powerful puts the RR to shame.

Pulled an Audi hatchback out of the mud with the RR , lovely young lady with an English bull terrier, she was close to tears her phone was almost out of charge as well , advised her to leave her car on the gravel area close by next time.

Yep. Everything done for you, no need to worry at all. Except, of course, when it gets foggy no one thinks they need to switch their lights on. Car will do it, won't it?

or turn them off afterwards. I eventually pulled level with a woman who had both front & rear fogs on, wound my window down & told her that her rear fogs were on .... just got a blank look off her (maybe I should have said it in Punjabi  )

Cant get the airbag light to stay off on Sons Civic. Pretty sure its connected to a dodgy connection in the seat belt buckle which means the seat belt reminder on the dash doesnt always light up when the belt is unplugged.
MOT is due Friday, so Ive dismantled the clocks, and found the airbag light isnt removable and soldered into the board.
Carefully bent the little bulb out a bit and stuffed a bit of tissue paper down the hole it sits in to block out the light. 
Should be an advisory for not illuminating rather than a fail for being illuminated. 

Bodgers 'r' us. I like it. 

I dont suppose theres a local OOFer who could help ?
That price seems obscene to me. 
As for TPMS. I would pull the fuse and just use my tyre pressure gauge, same as I have done for the last 50 years. 

Madness. If you cant be arsed to check tyre pressures once a week you shouldnt be allowed a licence. 

All done in the name of "progress".  TPMS, rain sensitive wipers etc, all done so many don't have to properly look after their cars. Just be reactive instead of proactive.

not that its entirely relevant but a few years back i managed to find a pair of brand new genuine air shocks for my carlton 2.2 from 'vauxhall green parts'.these were presumably quite rare then for that car and i think i paid around £30 each for them .i looked a few days later and they still had some but had tripled the price (or more !)
there will be some omega ones stashed away somewhere !!
