    Will a dealer service overwrite an ecu remap?

    I'm considering a diesel remap for my 2013. When I've taken the car in for a service with a mazda dealer, invariably, one of the functions performed is, "ECU/software updates" If there was a new update from mazda, would that erase any ecu remap I'd received from a tuner?

    Interesting diesel regen observation

    Yesterday I did 400 miles, mostly at 60-75mph,in my 150bhp UK diesel. At the start of the trip I reset the average fuel consumption. Not sure why, but I check it quite frequently. Around the 50 mile mark, I was averaging 51mpg. Shortly after it plummeted to 45 and I realised it was in a DPF...

    Can you UK drivers tell me of your experiences with roof boxes, from scratch?

    I do have a 2013 UK diesel and the plastic roof channel slide covers only show 1 hole each end. I don't have rails or cross bars, so I'd like some pointer on robust and reliable makes for cross rails(?) and roof boxes. Thanks

    UK people, what are your experiences with the in car navigation?

    I'm pretty happy with google maps navigation on my phone, but it's not as convenient as potentially just pressing the nav button on my console. Will i still get routes if I don't subscribe to the live services? what do other UK drivers think?

    Is there a big difference in ride quality between 17 and 19 inch wheels?

    I have the 19s and am wondering whether 17s would be less harsh and/or road noise quieter? The number of smooth asphalt roads I travel on seems to be much fewer these days. i don't do corners, so don't worry about lateral performance.

    Nothing like following an original Mini to remind you you are driving a large car

    There are so many land rovers around where I live I think I drive a small car!

    My CX-5 felt very tall when this parked in front of it

    It also felt a bit more like a family car, if it didn't already.

    Have you walked away from your car wondering whether you switched off the engine?

    Happened to me the other day. Had to mentally go over 'leaving the car' until I realised i didn't hear the beeps. Very unnerving.

    I had a check engine light saturday night and, today, it's off again.

    I did 400 miles on saturday and 300 were at a constant 80mph. Well, 20 miles from home the check engine light goes on - solid, not flashing. at the time I was driving (as, I said 80) over concrete motorway and the car was really vibrating/whining, through the tyres, over the horrid road surface...
