Thanks all. I think you've convinced me that a new battery would be a wise move.
The clutch failed spectacularly last week so when I get the car back I'll change the battery as well!!! Oh, the joys ... |

| Thanks all. I did wonder if it was a normal message but I can't remember seeing it until recently. Maybe I'm just not very observant (true!) but it does seem to come and go. I haven't noticed any issu ... |

| Thanks SYFL2. Yes, I always double-lock but only do short journeys these days which always makes me worry about how well the battery is getting re-charged. |

Thanks very much everyone, some excellent sounding suggestions there and Monmouth is only 25 minutes from me so will definitely give BG a shout.
Thanks again. |

I'm due for a service and my warranty has now expired so I'm not tied to main dealers anymore. I wondered if anyone can recommend an independent in the south-east Wales (I'm in Torfaen) area?

Hi all,
I have a rattle/creak in my back seat catch area (passenger side) which is getting worse and driving me mad!
It happens at all speeds, even at very slow speeds as I reverse off my drive, ... |

| Well 'small' for a sub amp, relatively speaking. I don't want a bloody great box in my boot so I plan to use an OEM sub which fits neatly around the spare wheel. I believe they're not massively powerf ... |

I replaced the standard speakers with those from the higher spec alpine system. Made a huge difference
I might well do that as well, but I do miss the sub I had in my old car! |

is the splice a feed for an amp?
Yes Taz, it'll be to feed the speaker-level inputs of a small amp to drive the sub. |

Hi all,
When I got my replacement Freely a few months ago (MY15 SE) I was disappointed to find that it had no subwoofer. The basic stereo system is terrible in general (compared to my old MY12 GS) ... |

Hmm. Sounds like I'd better have a crawl about underneath for a shufti before I start getting agitated about bearings then.
Thanks for the advice. |

Hi all,
When I'm driving on a nice smooth, quiet road surface I can just about hear a gentle thud, thud, thud, thud noise from the back of the car which follows the speed of the car rather than the ... |
