The guessometer in the car is not a reliable way of achieving an accurate MPG. It shows what has happened over the period between resetting and adjusts as you drive I once left Lancashire with a full tank with a guessometer reading of 436 range When I got to Frankley services my expected range with the fuel not used was 500 miles and i had travelled over 100 miles. After two weeks driving around Devon When i filled up to return the predicted range was 450ish Not a superb but a 2.0 diesel with a dsg average to and from work was 34-35 mpg getting to 60+mpg on the motorway

Ai appears to agree with what most of the replies so far have said. Putting 77 litres in when almost empty and guessing at the outcome is not really helpful. Accuracy requires full to full refueling and monitoring to get a "real mpg" Summary after a deep dive conversation

More cars of all power trains are being built than demand They are effectively building used cars that wont be classed as new sales

3: more cars are being built than demand so they are manipulating the registrations to meet the targets so they can sell what people want to buy.

Maybe the companies are manipulating the figures so they can sell what people want?

all vehicles on a public road must be insured "It is a legal requirement under the Road Traffic Act 1988 to have at least third-party insurance in place for any vehicle that is driven or kept on a public road or public place, regardless of whether it is "in trade" or not"

Why not give the Dealer you bought it from the opportunity to sort it out. Otherwise what you are looking for before you buy your next used car is a Dealer with a Crystal ball

Dropping to 10.6v whilst cranking is not necessarily a sign of a bad battery,but it's getting close . The bounce back to 13.3v then dropping to 12.1v could be a sign that everything is working as normal because initially after the cranking the alternator responds to put it back. Once idling it then depends upon what you have switched on in the car Lights/heater etc. Once thee engine is running the BMS starts it's process off running the car and slowly replenishing the battery How it works from our good friends at AI In essence a car that does mainly short trips, especially in colder weather could require maintenance charging each week.

Rapid charging @79p would be £471 so obviously the worlds not ready yet. But no-one is saying it is.

No wonder the service interval can be 20,000 miles you will have changed the oil three times already

I am just glad that the "Oh yes they did" "Oh no they didn't" pantomime can come to an end.

Google answers the question asked related to how the question is asked. It is not possible for the public to park in an underground car park at Westminster. Hence two answers to what people think is the same question

Have you considered Michelin CrossClimate2 For longer tread life and fuel economy

If it' is an "S" or "N" it is by definition repairable only "A" and "B" are non-repairable. Youtubers can repair the car because they use the car as "Content" which pays them for repairing it. Some Cars probably yours included was repairable if someone could get hold of it cheap enough and still make a profit after costs. Not many challenge a write off figure for a month and get to keep the hire car. As soon as the offer is accepted the hire car ends. So saves the Insurance company a fortune. The Insurance company are also more likely to insist on Genuine parts for the repairs too, Cars bought from copart can be repaired with whatever the repairer choose. It's annoying when it happens but unfortunately it is what it is.

The way around this is to challenge their offer with evidence. Find equivalent cars on autotrader to back up your claim and dig in. Once they make a write off offer your procrastination starts increasing their costs and if you have a valid case you get a lot closer to your true replacement cost. usually the mean of examples evidenced. Touch wood only twice have I had to do that.

Insurance companies will go for the best solution for them. Car repairers will go for the best option for the quickest fix. It doesn't mean it's the cheapest way it's just the most efficient, Labour costs being so high. In the scenario in this video for the sake of a broken battery coolant pipe fitting Tesla would go for changing the battery, then sending the battery for refurbish and testing for supplying to another crashed damaged car later. Doesn't mean that someone with the right knowledge and time could not do it cheaper. But it does cap the cost to a price for the repair and keeps the car safe after the impact. The guy in the video says straight forward repair, see what you think?

I can see mileage reporting on change of keeper becoming mandatory instead of optional. Maybe a self report of mileage covered for the first three years then it's taken care of by MOT. Any false reporting could then be retrospectively applied by AI. I think people are underestimating the power AI has when given access to data. Things that used to take days and weeks to process and check can be done in minutes with linked data bases.

The EU puts levy's on the Chinese cars to protect it's own Car industries. There are only 8 individual models of Car assembled in the UK that would likely be helped by the UK doing the same. So the benefits of getting people into cheaper Electric vehicles may be seen as the priority

It could be that in the future the tax free allowance and the state pension will be linked, if only to save the cost of chasing getting money they pay out back? Maybe that is even the reason 2028 was chosen as the date in the first place?
