  1. The last time I looked (about 10s before the time stamp on this message), it was 2024.
  2. You should definitely throw away the keys and walk everywhere.
  3. I had to rejoin in order to contact Colin in order to ask, and then decided that my "new" user name is the one I use on more or less every other forum I'm on anyway...
  4. I had a computer failure, and was only able to reinstate access using a new e-mail and user-tag.
  5. @hzoltaan @RicardoM Back in the day, the usual UK cure for issues with a Pierburg carburettor was to buy a correctly jetted Weber direct replacement for $engine. Whether these are even still available I don't know.
  6. And none of those checks other than tyres and oil level would be the cause of "car making a noise" anyway.
  7. Likewise, well except that the Rover P6 was an Opel Ascona 1.9 SR Berlina.
  8. I did not say that. It is unusual to find a VLOG opinion piece that actually has cites at all, never mind reputable cites.
  9. Do I trust any opinion piece I find on YouChube? NO! Do I contemplate blocking more or less anyone who quotes YouChube opinions as fact? YES!
  10. No certainty, but look under the engine bay and see if there's a loose undertray or cable tray that's flapping in the slipstream. The last time I had anything like this a local garage fixed it for £5 in their coffee swindle.
  11. And, of course, if you need another few miles to reach a planned destination an ICE will allow you to do a splash and dash that takes maybe 10 minutes from decision to stopped and back to highway speed.
  12. Done that, and indeed the jack and axle stand as well!
  13. Save your money; the only thing an "induction kit" will do is increase the noise level.
  14. Have you checked the wiring to that sensor for damage?
  15. @nta16 @StevesTruck and I are all thinking much the same thing; What you're describing sounds like a vacuum servo leak and will never be cured by bleeding the brakes.
  16. (0) Battery and alternator connections are secure, then (1) and (2) above.
  17. Not sure about lower, but another 6mm spacered out for maximum H*11aflush?
  18. That seems like normal function for an indirect TPMS; when a tyre gets soft it activates. Oh and it is triggered by measuring relative wheel speed using the ABS sensors, so it could be a slow puncture or an ABS fault.
  19. Get it down home, then get a trusted local garage to do a deep load test on the battery; they may do this for free subject to you agreeing they get the business if it needs a new one.
  20. Dunno. I accept your personal account, but am surprised that a particulate cleaner made it through the combustion chamber in an effective form.
  21. So that the car can perform a "safe reverse parking manoeuvre" without driver intervention. I, too, would prefer it to wait to be asked before starting to give you instructions and steering itself.
  22. It "may" just be the build week?
  23. You don't want Lane Enforce, well not unless you want to drive only in the centre of well marked lanes on tarmac roads and have to use indicators for every lane change. GPS - You don't want badly integrated GPS systems like the VAG ones when you can have better and cheaper separate navigation systems like, say, a Tom-Tom. (Other satellite navigation systems are available)
