Offline | Ahh fair point! Totally agree with you. For me it doesn't matter as I don't mind, but I wouldn't for instance let mum out in it by herself....  |

Offline | I've got a brilliant can of goo! It goes onto you tyre valve, then a seal bit screws over top (really can't explian it) but it means it only goes into the tyre... not all over the show. The can has enough oomph in it to get you to a service station air line too, so no need for a compressor! |

Offline | Auto Air con is a waste in a conve........ I see you're missing the wind deflector......leave the manual a/c as is and add the deflector, and you'll still be quids in...... |

Offline | no need for auto on a convertible, its much easier to have the manual is MFSW missing from the spec though? The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?  |
