Correction inline, bold. It's most unfortunate that good drivers don't always signal (because there's no point having a conversation in an empty room) or even stay in one lane.

OK, from what else you're posted, go to a local garage, tell them you've no battery light and ask them to check the alternator control wires. Maybe 30 minutes work, and most of the problems will vanish.

Just take note, you're limited to 50mph/80kph with that wheel and tyre mounted.

Does it seem to be turning over slowly on the starter? When was it last serviced?

Different place, different vehicle, different controller. What worked in one situation would not necessarily work in the other.

Sochi is not the Red Bull Ring F1 cars are not motorcycles Londo Norris is not Brad Binder.

There is one for the fan though.

Carlston's photo is lit up. I can see the display segments in at least some LCD displays when not powered (as in no batteries in the device).

I find "Google" is good for this stuff

How did you fill it up? To the pressure click from the pump? If so, then that leaves an expansion space of 5 to 9l in the tank, and the gauge itself is slow to react to the top part of the fill. If you leave the car until home time, or tomorrow, the gauge will probably rise to more like 7/8 full. This is all normal behaviour for a Skoda.

Also @Wino - Both are possible, depending on the colour of the display (not the background, the display). Grey is definitely LCD, and LED is usually red or green, but may be blue or white. The one illustrated upthread I think actually is LCD since the blue backdrop is effected by a tinted plastic filter.

Usually about 2mm or 1/8" for front pads; discs are a variable.

You reckon!? I asked you if you had a diagnostic device that would confirm the health of your battery, and costs a fraction of what a new battery does. That doesn't seem extreme to me. Apparently you can get one that plugs into the auxiliary socket for about £2-00. As to asking about the battery light on the fascia, that's an attempt at remote diagnostics. If you have a working battery light it tells me certain things. If you don't that also tells me certain things, in this case that your base problem (fix it and the other go away) is a break in the alternator control wires.

You got a voltmeter? This is classic signs of a dying or dead battery or alternator. Also, when you switch the ignition on, do you get a battery light? Your "video clip" is 1 second of pure black.

Yes. I'd check the fuses, but suspect the issue is a loose nut in a Halfraud's fitting bay.

@Vanwin - Sorry I can't help further, but it's really looking like either you have a parasitic drain on the battery, or the alternator controls are too "Simply Clever" for the battery's own good.

If @J.R. is betting his house against mine, when do I get the title deeds? A percentage is the number of $item at that point in the range of values (within +/- half the granularity of measurement. A percentile is an indication of the number of $item that lie between a percentage value and the upper of lower bound of the range.

I'm not sure, but I suggest you take a can of bull$h!t repellent the next time you visit the dealership, and spray liberally as soon as anyone mentions "$component N% worn".

Mode - and then there's the Standard Deviations (sampled and population), quartiles, semi-interquartile mean...

There are a few other possibilities; does the battery light illuminate when you switch the engine on, before you start it? If not, then there is probably a failure in the alternator control wires, and any competent mechanic should have spotted this!

Cheers for that. I've had enough of you; blocked before I say something that gets me censured!

I'll settle for you publishing every French law ever, as proof of your claim that "there is no such law in France".

Well yes, but the starter motor uses electricity which is stored in the battery. The bigger (and heavier) the engine the more electricity you need to turn over the engine. I agree with @Carlston about the likely problem, but "just in case", when were the spark plugs last renewed?

Enough said.

Before or after the petrol dissolved the bins?
