Just in general im wandering how much i should set mine too on the GT...

Goes from like 30 secs to 10 mins or something,....>

After a long drive 2 mins ?

After a short thrash around ? 4 - 5 mins ?

Thanks Rob.

Pointless gimmicks.

Max needed is 1min after long high boost runs. If that.

As ak says check insurance validity!

Exactly, do you really need a box to tell you when 1 minute is up!
