  1. And that wouldn't affect the passenger door.
  2. Were they actually down to 20%, and at what mileage?
  3. It is. My daughter used it to charge her phone wirelessly. I is brighter when charging and dim when not.
  4. I don't know which version you are buying, but my Edition has Bridgestone Turanzas. If the wear as badly as I have seen indicated, they will almost certainly be replaced by Michelin.
  5. Also, as the supply of 21 and particularly 71 reg cars has been considerably reduced, there will be fewer low mileage nearly new cars on the market, so their prices could be strong.
  6. What is the purpose of reversing lights? Is it to see or be seen? My suspicion is the latter as the bulbs tend to be low power and higher power ones would tend to dazzle.
  7. I have found a short data blocking usb power cable. Might be a bit messy but it may well be a solution.
  8. Unfortunately I don't have the socket by the mirror.
  9. I'm trying to sort out my dashcam. It was in a 12V bulletin our old car, but as the 12V sockets in the Karoq do not switch off with the ignition, I wanted to use usb c. I didn't order the extra socket by the mirror so I got some adapters. The left socket, as I expected, switches off abouit a minute after switching the car off. Trouble is the camera goes into 'usb connecting' and looks like it will not record. So I thought, perhaps the second socket would just be a power supply, but it doesn't supply power to either the dashcam or to a phone. Looks like it isn't working. I really dont want to use the 12V as I'm bound to forget it and completely overwrite the memory card. So however I connect the camera (my insurance company asked about whether I would be fitting one) it looks like a trip to the dealers to see if they can sort the socket.
  10. Our new car has a set of letters I'm not particularly happy with, so I am contemplating a new number. I asked the dealer if it was possible to reject the number and get a new auto generated number, but he said it can't be done. What did surprise me was that he said that before the change of ownership the dealers still had a list of numbers for a customer to chose from. One plate I saw the other day was L10N GB. I thought it was a rugby fan, but the car was a 10 year old Peugeot, so I suppose he/she could have been a Peugeot enthusiast.
  11. Unfortunately my phone is too old to connect wirelessly.
  12. I don't know the timeline exactly. It was at Emden for a couple of weeks,next thing I know it is at the dealer. I'm not entirely sure why, but it took about 2 weeks to collection. Could be the salesman was on holiday. I was in no great rush. Perhaps I should have been, considering the issues I had with my old car. May well post later if i get things sorted to my satisfaction.
  13. Thanks very much, one issue solved, 2 to go. I have a potential issue with the satnav, I live in Dorset, and on the journey home the satnav showed the correct area map, but for some odd reason, it displayed the position of 2 railway stations in Norfolk! I usually use Google Maps, but I can't connect my phone as I don't have any usb c cables. Some on order.
  14. A third issue. The mirrors are supposed to dip in reverse. Dipping is activated in the menu, but the mirrors are not dipping. Am I missing something, or is it back to the dealer?
  15. Hi, Just picked up our Edition this morning. A couple of things I can find out about. 1; I knew about the usb c sockets, and I have read on the forum that Skod provide usb c to usb adaptors. I don't seem to have any. Are they likely to be hidden around the car? 2; I have paired up my phone via bluetooth, but someone called Alexandru has previously paired an S10 Galaxy. Try as I might, I cannot find how to delete it. I'm assuming it's a Columbus system.Anyone able to help?
  16. Picked up our Edition this morning. Paid the price agreed back in May was the price I paid.
  17. Don'y forget that in the current climate the wheels/ tyres may well have been fitted several months ago.
  18. On another forum about 12 years ago, frequently people would ask how to get their car to chirp when locking. My reply then was that EU legislation made it illegal, and as far as I know it still is. I have heard some cars chirp, and I believe you can enable this through the menus on some Land Rover cars. It did annoy the heck out of me back in the late 80s, early 90s. A chap down the road had a car that chirped. He would come home late at night, lock the car, chirp, chirp. He would then unlock it. Chirp. He would then relock it Chirp, chirp. I asked someone why he wanted the car to chirp. It was to give confirmation that it locked. I did as, did he not watch the lights flash. It is not helped by TV companies who always dub a chirp when an actor locks his/her car, it makes many people think that it is normal/legal.
  19. Emden is on the north/eastside of the river Ems, netherlands on the south/west side
  20. Unusual! I thought that they went through Emden, which is in Germany.
  21. My cars both do that as well. One is opening the door when the engine has auto-stopped. The other actually requires you to get out of the car and take your key with you. .
  22. My current cars are a different marque. On both of them, when s/s has stopped the engine and you open a door, instead of a warning like this the engine immediadly restarts.
  23. Many people have been trying to get info from Customer Services via Chat, but they have been saying that the system is down for about 5 weeks. Don't know whether it is now working again.
  24. No, it is the rear unit which engages the 4 wheel drive.
  25. My daughter bought a used Capture with no spare wheel. It is £250 when supplied, and I asked about having one supplied for her used car. Salesman told me the aftermarket price from Renault is over £600 (bs?). I got one (new unused) from ebay for ~£170. I have just looked up the Kodiq on Carwow to find a price. They only list SE Standard, SE 7 Seat and SE-L. The SE standard appears to have a steel space saver, the 7 seater SE and SE=L don't appear to have one available at all. No other versions listed. Just checked my Karoq order, I'm paying £155. The Karoq doesn't seem to be available on Carwow at all!
