we have the note 10.1 tablet and I love the pen so the note 2 works really well with the pen - its a clever bit of kit that stylus

Jay did you see my post about fuel mpg - ours is shocking round town currently on 26mpg - if you leave it in 4th it does go up slowly but drops on tickover or a bit of right foot

if you reset the clock then go on the motorway it does do 52mpg so not sure if theres an issue otherwise it wouldnt do that would it?

doesn't sound right. I get stuck daily in m62 traffic going to Leeds and mine hasn't dropped below 47 which is what I had with fooked injectors. mine has only dropped to 53 because I can do 80+

well seems normal on here http://www.stdrivers.co.uk/forum/top...tdci-poor-mpg/

I drop the little one off every morning in newton and the temp guage doesnt even move so im guessing little trips is killing the mpg

like i say reset the clock and drive nice in high gear it climbs all the way to 50+ and drops slowly over average

the car drives and pulls spot on

25mpg is 3.0 v6 territory. try using a lower gear. 6th gear is suitable over 50 mph. would use 4th up to 40. try it you may be surprised as there is less load. get an app called torque for your android phone and a Bluetooth obd adaptor. that way you can monitor your sensors etc

that adaptor will probably not work on your st i got exactly the same (via eBay) something to do with the protocol the ford uses. I will find you a link. should work on the scoob, check the torque forums should be able to see on there if it is compatible

I need the height brick to brick and width brick to brick - does it need a cill?

you say the door needs to be 800mm is that the size of the actual door opening slab of the door as thats what a normal one measures so door size inc frame would be about 920mm then your side screen goes next to it. average height is 2050mm

Justin, do you do internal doors as well?

We are thinking of replacing 2 solid ones to ones that have a bit of glass in them
