    Do you believe wireless CarPlay is a must?

    When I bought my car it had a Sony Explode head unit with Bluetooth which I thought was nice but now I wouldn't be without it, sat nav plays through it & hands free on the phone. It connects straight away with no issues I really do enjoy it.

    Odd spark plug behavior

    Can’t say I’ve ever heard of a plug retracting the electrode I’d suspect maybe a bit of pre ignition and it’s just plum warn out was it gapped slightly different from the rest when fitted.

    Should you use air conditioning in cold climates during the Winter?

    I can say positive or negative but I have always flicked on on and off through the winter just so the pump turns and circulates the gases and I will say a lot of new cars automatically run the air con system as default you actually have to turn it off.
