Welcome to the forum Ray KAA

LOL Tony, yes that would do it as well, especially one who is getting edgy being in isolation KAA 🤧🤪

Glad all went well Mike, and that you managed to get home safe and sound, even though we are all in isolation now my wife and I try to duck out for a drive just to feel an escape from 4 walls and still enjoy our Presara enjoying some nice tunes as we silently cruise the roads. Stay Safe Mate.. KAA

Hi Tony, I assume it is the same procedure for later series, yes a real PITA job but with patience and care is easy enough to do, i replaced mine about 2 yrs ago myself..and only issue is the space to fit hands with equipment to remove and fit the actual light housing especially the drivers side, battery side i found way easier I also bought my globes off Ebay..and went with the 6000K Philips Set, the difference is really noticeable right away so was well worth the swearing and nicks on the knuckles.. Good Luck and Stay Safe KAA

Welcome to the forum Peter, KAA

Thanks Ashley think i will invest in the same set..looks a handy item to add to the tool cabinet, Cheers for the info mate, keep Well Keep Safe KAA

TY Tony for the info..I have talked to my mechanic in the past about that tool as i also have read out it..he said that he refused to use it as he prefers to do it the way Ashley said by hand with a 3/8" drive..mainly because he finds it is better to feel the unit is fixed properly and know that it is never over tightened..something to think about..as nothing worse than paying good money and getting something that turns out to be garbage..Please keep us updated as to what you discover with you purchases..at least they have backed their product with the warranty KAA

Hi Alex, Like Ashley and Warren have stated best to use available options, I am sure i have seen various options in places like supercheap or autobarn stores both in storage containers with dividers in them and as warren showed storage bags made of tough nylon..sure hope you find something to save the roll arounds in the boot KAA

Glad your trip went well there..yes good economy hope you enjoyed the cruise KAA

Hi Mike, like others have said you can add a little more when filling..I also don't tend to over fill unless doing a very long open road trip..then that little extra tends to burn off fast..A good idea to top up when possible..I also keep around 36-38 psi in the tyres when on the open road journeys and lower for around town when home, I hope it is a smooth and pleasant trip for you..let us know how it all goes for you..but most important of all stay safe KAA

Hi Mike, I agree with Ashley, i did a long driving holiday from NSW Central Coast to Melbourne and surrounding areas and got over 10kms per litre at average highway speed, and around town still get 11-11.5 kms..i would agree to refuel just for peace of mind as i don't like my tank under 1/4 full at anytime..just a habit i have as the old (you never know thing) and if anything urgent does arise at least i know i can just jump in and go. I hope you enjoy your trip..stay safe..just cruise and enjoy the adventure KAA

Hi Mike yes mine is September 09, so yes I guess we are the lucky ones who are not affected..however I always keep and eye on the dash when cleaning the car and just do all I can to keep it protected..plus I do try to keep it garaged and when out use a windscreen shield, as the car is still perfect that is how i want to keep it..best car I have ever owned still ticks over like a swiss watch and super efficient on fuel..hope yours continues to be awesome KAA

Hi Mike, I also have a 2009 Presara..Mine is the update model for that year but also..NO Dash issue at all..still perfect..i do maintain it by using good quality vinyl cleaner and protector on it but guess like you got lucky..so many didn't..so fingers crossed it stays that way..if it hasn't destroyed itself by now can't see it happening KAA

Welcome to the forum Kaye KAA

Hi Mike YW Mate.. yes all features of the Presara are covered Reverse camera, steering wheel controls etc..yes wasn't cheap but as the car was wonderful already well worth the cost in the end.. KAA
