Thank you. Our car is less than 2 years old so hopefully should be covered.

Thank you for that. If you don't mine me asking how old was your car when it was replaced? Regards Dave

Just lately I have noticed that when my drivers door mirror opens, after unlocking the car, the motor continues to whirr beyond the fully open position for 5 secs or so. Any ideas please ? Regards Dave Peach

I've got a Jaguar MkII 3.8 which I am currently renovating. It has twin SU carburettors and if you are lucky will achieve 20-25 mpg. One thing about the Karoq is that I regularly see well over 40 mpg accompanied by excellent performance so it's not all bad even if it doesn't achieve the manufacturer's quoted mpg figures! One thing about modern cars is that they are generally extremely reliable although nowhere near as engaging to drive as a classic car. As I get older I realise however that neither are classic cars anywhere near as comfortable ! As for safety don't even go there .........

Thanks guys for your input. The algorithms that determine whether or not the Start Stop can be enabled seem incredibly complicated. Don't you just love being in control of what you are driving!

That's interesting. I'll try it again when I'm next out but I imagine that the AC compressor is mechanically driven off the crankshaft pulley. Maybe I'm wrong but the user manual does say that the engine needs to be running for the AC to operate. I suppose that the compressor drive could stop and start without the AC light going on and off. Not sure really how the compressor is energised. Maybe somebody else can clarify this.

Am I correct in thinking that if the AC is switched on then the START-STOP feature will not operate. The owner's manual states on page 55 that the engine has to be running for the AC to operate.
