the truth about electric cars

Truth , Girvan harbour DC charger still out of order 2 months on. Charge place Scotland today, female calm handler said, wasted my time calling to report again as the council knows and no more CPS can do. That is because the system is sh!te.

the truth about electric cars

Oft a way to reduce or negate the cost.

I have two wallboxes but did not fully pay for either.

First one had government grant for most of the cost, that was under the Con party.

Second one was a freebie when the Scenic one European Car of The Year.

Both will add value to the house when I sell the house next year as increasingly it is something new owners expect to see as a fitment to houses.

Bought a 1.4 TDi DSG today

I bought a couple of Morfit cushions. These have made the seats more bearable on long journeys.

I've been surprised at how - almost all of the time - the low power of the 1.4 TDi engine has not been a problem. In general driving it's fast enough for me and my wife's driving style. The only time I've noticed a lack of performance, was when joining the A1 from Stamford, when putting the foot down produced unimpressive acceleration - when compared to our 2010 BMW 330D auto.

Amazed Skoda has become so BAD..

I have a 2019 1.0 DSG with ACC and love both aspects. I don't have much problem with the infotainment either, but mine's an older simpler version with oldy worldy non virtual fixed speedo etc.

My DSG in the 1.0 seems to behave very differently to yours, as it seems to want to change smoothly into a higher gear,as soon as possible, so much so that it almost seems as if the engine is labouring on steepish hills. I like it that way however, as it's so easy and pleasurable to pull the gear stick back into sport for hills and for power in overtaking, for which there is surprisingly plenty from that little 3cycl engine. It also wants to stay in top when coasting downhill, which I also like. The main DSG downside is less then ideal moving from standstill ,particularly for a quick getaway - a well documented DSG issue, but the rather fierce accelerator pedal setting doesn' t help + pedals could be better located.

I've bored people here too often before saying how much I like the ACC on my car, so much so I wouldn't buy another car without it, but mine is an older version without the additional slowing for bends feature etc., which I believe you can anyway switch out. In previous cars I used to find ordinary CC frustrating in anything other than roads with light traffic. ACC reduces my right foot 'tiresome pedalling' significantly on busy motorways. Not perfect though, as it's slow to react to a car jumping in front of me or to log off from a car I've been stuck behind then want to overtake in a faster lane. This does actually keep me constantly alert to what other cars around me are doing, realising I can't rely 100% on technology. I do seem to anticipate more, looking further ahead, than I did before ACC came along, so that's an upside. it took me a little while to adjust my driving style to suit ACC and get familiar with the way it behaves, but maybe I'm a slow learner.

Interesting you like lane assist. I don't have this and it does seem to be the feature that attracts most criticism in Briskoda. I'd like to try it though so as to make up my own mind.

Power steering light illuminted on dash, it comes and goes

Fitted, a Bosch variety, and a 2 mile run has proved the sensor was the problem!

A little advice if anyone has the same problem, opt for a genuine Bosch piece - 4 or 5 years ago i tried one of the cheap chinese jobs ---- it didn't work,
A friend confirmed their operating characteristics cover a different range, be warned!
