Well, I guess this version should be OK.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

ha ha ha (genuine laugh)
youd have to be as tight as a ducks arse in water to buy that. But i like the question about the abs light.
I wonder can you drill holes in the roof to get the leaking effect sunrooves can provide.

Did you read the comments? I'm not sure if some of them were taking the pi$$ or genuinely were that stupid.

My D8's sunroof never leaked.

My D9s leaking wasnt too bad, just rivets had holes and wee dribbles come in.
The 309s sunroof would be easy to add onto a car, but obviously not as easy as this brilliant idea.

Superb!

Just to add my opinion, I think sunroofs are the best thing in the world. I hated not having one on my 406. My 106 has one and it's open anytime I get the chance. I only ever had one leaky roof and it was easily fixed by a thin smear of vasline applied to the rubber seal 8)

I miss the one on my D8, having all the windows plus sunroof open definitely gives a more open, fresher feel, than just having the windows open - I still feel like I'm sitting in a tin box.

I notice it in the Honda. Even just pushing back the underside trim but leaving the sunroof itself shut lets a lot more light in.

Nice to get some fresh air on a nice day too.

Sony were just embedding LGs stuff.

The link I put on doesn't work from here, it just says the embedding's been disabled "be request" :shock: Who's effing request? Over here there's quite a lot of stuff on yewtoob etc. that's blocked by Sony due to copyright issues :frown: In fact I've got so sick of seeing it that I've decided to stage a one man boycott against Sony, who must be greedmeisters extraordinaire.

Avatar's from the movie I'M TRYING to post a clip from.

Oh yeah, the vid's not obscene, I'm probably being overcautious - there's a tiny bit of boob fondling at the start which might not go down too well if your managing director's watching over your shoulder and he has a remarkably small mind but there's no nips or nuffink, onist.
