Had a look and the only one I have seen that looks the same is £499...

Thanks I'll have a look! 🙂

Hoping beyond hope that it's a warranty thing as nothing has hit it and I haven't been under the bonnet for a couple of weeks, if not more and I only close it very gently. Never drop or slam it.

Can someone please tell me what the price of a drivers side headlight cluster is for the above. Yes my junk heap has some how managed to crack the headlight.. No stone damage, nothing has been near it. I haven't even opened the bonnet in the last week and all of a sudden this crack has appeared! 🤔 Initially been quoted between £433 & £493 depending on what is required.

Not exactly inspiring confidence is it?

Spoke too soon. It was locking on for several minutes at a time yesterday and then flickering on and off...😥

It does seem to be running correctly, albeit with a water pump open circuit fault. Whatever that is!

I don't know about that. It does most certainly know the difference between bog standard unleaded and super unleaded (Tesco 99 / JS 97) as the range is different between them when I fill up.

It adds about 20-30 miles (according to the computer) range with super unleaded. So from 410 to 430 miles range. I'm also running around in Eco mode to try and extend the range even more.

Anyway it seems to have gone. 🤞

VC - Virtual Cockpit DIS - Drivers Information System?

Oil temperature in DIS.

I'll ask.

It's the sensor or the linkage between whatever ECU and sensor. The sensor has been replaced 5 times! so the chances of having 4 new one's being faulty are extremely low, they say they have replaced the sensor wiring twice and it was still doing it, they then did a reset of the ECU to factory defaults and it still did it! So I asked someone who does a bit of tuning to look into it and he found something and deactivated a setting that was for non VC cars which was active and is now no longer activated and since then it has been fine.

Nope. The oil temperature is no longer on the list. So it would suggest that it has to be coded into the VC in some way.

If I knew what was tweaked!

Got a mate who has an Audi to have a go and he found something regarding oil temperature activated that shouldn't have been. Deactivated it and so far 🤞 everything has been quiet since. Even had a good long run to Warwickshire and its environs at the temperature range where it normally triggers and nothing happened. 🙂🤫

EcoMax Petrol varies from month to month, about £14‐15. One shot is 50ml per full tank, so a bottle is 10 tanks.

I don't use Shell V-Power Super Unleaded because of the extortionate price. At £1.51 per litre that's not in my price range. That's why yesterday I declined to use Oxford M40 services like the sheep and took a chance on getting home on what I had and did with arrogant ease, mind you that was bog standard unleaded at that price! 😲 I don't have a Tesco with a petrol station attached to it. The nearest being Aldershot or Broadbridge Heath, so unless there's one on my route it doesn't come into consideration. I filled up with JS Super Unleaded today at £1.41 per litre today. Hopefully that should last me at least 10-12 days so the panic will have subsided.

Just got 320 miles out the tank, still showing 125 available (really?) when I arrived back from Warwickshire yesterday, however with the current situation with fuel I didn't know where or when fuel would be available locally, so topped it up at 115 miles available by the time I got to JS in Godalming. So still really none the wiser about E10 or the cars computer accuracy.

Seems to be holding up quite well so far. Be interesting to see what I get.

Just shows what a 💩 car I have.

Well when things return to normal and day trips via the tunnel are available, I'll let you find out. I think thing's between the UK and France are a little frosty and I have a tendency to think that they might try and flex their muscles when it comes to traffic offences as it's easy money.

It's also to do with the UK leaving the EU, if you want a badge on the plate, can't remember what it is you have to have, but the old ones are going to be illegal in the EU.
