Good man. I don't completely agree on screens though. It's becoming unavoidable.

*If it's in your hand. And they've not made a brilliant job of it - if it's in a holder you can only use it 'hands free'.

Sorry SS, but 'tongue in cheek' like that is for AG. And that quoted reply was beyond tongue in cheek.

If there are any popping/coughing noises, check for air leaks. If not, it might be worth checking the float bowl for water.

I'd like to follow that post with something more helpful, but it's not an easy car to fit one to! I use these ball/magnet things in all my cars, but the snag is that the double-sided tape under the base is never quite good enough and you need to use the outdoor stuff from (I think) EvoStik's...
