Hi All,
Cali owner (aka Vince) since 2010, have a 56 plate 174 2.5 model. Have had a bunch of fun with it and thought I'd drop in an say hello.
No huge problems, except for drive shaft shearing last year and being stuck on a roundabout but I gather the drive shaft is a well known issue. Just replace fuse for 12v socket next to cup holder after shorting it out which was simple to find with the fuse cards under the cupholder. Oh, the awning winder has just started to slip when winding it in, soI can't nip it up tight, but a velcro strap around the front end solves that.
Only weird thing is I don't have the buttons next to the drivers seat to disable the internal alarm, motion sensor thing. Guess they didn't put them onto the earlier models.
Anyhow, this looks like a great forum so looking forward to spending some time in here and picking up some great tips.
thanks
Nick
