Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I think @Dammit is asking for one where you can select the minutiae of the route rather than just selecting the quickest etc.

You asked for an app that lets you specify waypoints...just put the waypoints on the outskirts of town? Why do you want to go near but not into these towns?

I’d use junctions as waypoints in that case.

You can use Google maps on a laptop to specify a route, then send it to your phone and it will direct you.
I use it for cycling - I ask for an A-B route, then drag it around to nicer roads and send it to my phone.

I'd like to take specific roads (such as the D996), which Google will do if I select "no highways", but I'd like to take some highways. Ideally, I would be able to plot a route as I do for cycling, and then send it to my phone and follow that.

I've tried doing that, it then updates the route on the fly to make it fast/faster, which is absolutely what I want it not to do

Ah right. Sounds like a setting you might be able to disable?

I've never used any apps for an iPhone since I've never owned one, but I used to use CoPilot for navigating fixed routes and that always worked pretty well. Whether or not its better than the equivalent TomTom or Garmin apps I couldn't say though.

Might be there, but in light of my experience of using Google Maps it'll take you from now until Doomsday to find how to turn it off. Horrible UI, which seems to change every week to become eversoslightly worse.

Be a lot easier if I had a navigator, anyone who can read a map and wants a lift to Morzine please let me know.

Yeah actually my last European road trip with Google maps involved it adding its own destination every couple of hours...

The magical moment when you loose connection so have no idea where you are.

Always download your maps and GPS will get you there with no data usage...

Ridewithgps app? Plot the route on your pc, then use the “navigate” function once you have the route loaded in the app. I think this might now be a premium feature for about £6 a month.

When?

<100k miles but >50k miles. It's dealing with a lot of power so not surprised that it would have lower life than expected.

Line is fine, had a new slave cylinder a few months back.

Thanks for the replies. Decided to book it in for another look. £40p/h investigation which seems reasonable to me.

@Dammit - what about going old school with a piece of paper with the cities and route numbers?

@Dammit I've done it with Google Maps many times, you just have to put many, many, many waypoints on.

Have you checked the ARB links?

Saw a mum and a pair of kids driving through Kingston in a nicely patina'd silver 911 Carrera 3.0 coupe, cool af

Have you checked the ARB links?

Is there an easy way to do this?

Googling also brought this up as a possible reason for the knocking.

They can be tricky to diagnose when they are still linked up. I've never looked under a mk6 golf but I am assuming if you know the right end from the wrong end of a spanner and can safely jack a car up they will be pretty easy(famous last words) to remove and check. you'll need both sides jacked up level. Once one end is disconnected from the ARB have a waggle of the joint and see if there is any inward/outward movement or if they are loose.

I don't have a proper jack or supports - just the spare tyre one - so it sounds like it's best done by a garage.

Nice.

Not been able to enjoy the Alps much in the e class as it's brake judder has reoccurred :( some kind of manufacturing fault with the discs I think as it's only been 3k since they were replaced under warranty. Thankfully braking performance isn't impaired.
