Exactly my point. The less often you encounter standing water films the less tread depth you need, and I can't judge that for you.

Try driving the car; the tyres will then rotate! More seriously, if you must follow this myth, try OSF to NSR, NSR to NSF, NSF to OSR, OSR to spare, and spare to OSF.

Well yes, but my other method of navigating rough roads is to be careful and drive on the side of the ruts rather than down the middle of them where they're deepest.

Sorry DC and Max; the race track is the dark grey bit between the white lines.

Don't know. For me it would depend on how likely I was to encounter standing water that fires the ESR or the ABS.

Yeah, you need a 4-wheel alignment, particularly if the drive is fine (because someone has attempted to correct a rear end problem by adjusting the front and made the car track true without correcting the actual fault). Look for somewhere trustworthy with a full Hunter alignment rig.

I can't see what it will achieve either, other than starting the car without the use of the battery or starter motot.

Well, does the Lithuanian cluster have mph calibration on the speedometer?

Well, I still think it's relevant to say to try and get a 24 hour test drive (or longer) and find out which transmission suits your driving style and journeys better.

Well, FWIW my Octy has only half that power, but can still fire the traction control regularly in the damp.

Tried right clicking instead of looking for a "download button"? I don't need a Karoq manual, but that usually works in Windows with any browser.

@mattybellerby - TMB didn't mention it as such, but you need a high temperature paint to do brake calipers.

Well, the obvious answer in that case is to continuity check the cable surely?

That's if it doesn't decide to put the car into limp mode.

Well, I do have some ideas about them getting through Type Approval. They have to drive down a lane made of the motor industry executives and engineers who produce the control systems and present them for TA, the TA civil servants who test them, and the politicians who vote to make them legal. I figure either we prove them to be actually safe, or lose some of those responsible. It should concentrate minds wonderfully!

No issues from that, unless you think you'll not wear it out in 6 years.

How about a nice Triumph Trident T150V (the upgrade of the original that included a front disc brake, indicators and electric foot).

Well, the Superb diesel taxi I travel in most Saturdays has stop/start, which you mostly notice by how much quieter it goes every time the car is stopped and the engine shuts down.

I'll bet that, if you read the warranty documents, there is no such exemption in them.

I suspect we're both guilty of word salad in our day jobs.

Hot hatch, unless I actually needed a capacity for rough road off roading and/or a 2 tonne plus towing capacity.

Is this car plated for towing? (Trailer weight will be non 0). If no, then what you're doing will render your car illegal when you hook up a trailer.

Neither do I; I was pulling your leg by making a correct but off-topic point about translating opera from one language to another.

Which will neither rhyme nor scan correctly. See what we mean about off-topic? And you started it!

odds on that's a better pratnav than any $car-manufacturer system.
