What have you done to your Elgrand today?

They look better in the black. I thought the postcode of the manufacture had to be on the reg plate?
Not as far as I know buddy. All depends on the mood of Plod and M.O.T tester on the day I say.;)

Nice mod mate. I hope you have a soft bit of foam on the back so it don't scratch your AV screen. The only down side to your mod is you wont be able to see your fuel economy computer when driving along albeit depending on how you drive it might be wise if you don't see it.:p:p:p
 
Can I be cheeky @dognero and ask how much you paid for your Qashqai rims? Found a set in The Netherlands but a different versions to yours for 425 euros with Continental tyres, unfortunately I missed out on them, didn't have the cash anyway! lol

Have you mastered how to use the AV monitor fuel computer yet mate??? As a habit I now use mine all the time I go out in mine now. I can set the buttons in my sleep:p:p
 
Didn’t know it had one but now I do will go press some buttons in van 👍😝
NO CRAIG STOP. There is a procedure buddy. If you start pressing buttons you could mess up other things mate.

Have you got English translated stickers on yours yet???SNV32427.JPG

1. Press info button
2. Use round SET button to select/scroll to desired option on AV screen
3. You need to select the lower RHS option from the 5 options given
4. Press SET and select the little fuel pump icon at the top 3 options then given
5. This will now show you the fuel computer scale
6. Move and select the second image below the current KPL reading and press and hold for a few seconds and then it will re-set the computer.
7. Start driving and after a few seconds it will start to show what your doing KPL wise.

The higher the reading and the higher the graph scale on the right the better MPG you will get.

Best ive had on mine is 10.5 KPL which is around 28 mpg on a run with cruise control set to 65 mph.
