  1. In the UK the system has always required a license
  2. The difference in drag coefficient between a tesla model s and a kia ev9 is 0.072 https://www.evspecs.org/comparison-chart/drag-coefficient
  3. I was going to suggest tuning the radio to it then trying again. But i think it will be pointless New Volkswagen group with latest maps have lost TMC.
  4. I appreciate that and thank you, was not offended it's just that this forum has a few pedants and some reading your post would pick up on the statement unqualified. Trafficmaster was regional there is a new supplier, INRIX ,of the TMC data now and it is available if the system can receive classic fm but requires a one time licence fee paid by the manufacturer of the vehicles to fund it. It appears to have disappeared from VAGs due to licensing? Do VAG cars still have TA options where the radio switches to local radio traffic reports? (seperate to tmc)
  5. You take my words out of context. "Just had a dig around google and the only people who appear to be losing TMC are VAG customers??"

  7. On FM the signal was transmitted with classic FM,
  8. Yes, but i have seen many reports of VW group users saying they have lost it? https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7b576a40f0b64646935832/Traffic_and_Travel_Report_1_.pdf My 2014 car still gets TMC updates but it's a Ford and has a DAB radio
  9. Just realised you are in Australia, hopefully if you contact them at witter they can post it? These guys want $150. ridiculous price https://australiatowbars.com.au/accessories.html?p=3
  10. https://www.witter-towbars.co.uk/accessories/keys/westfalia-detachable-neck-keys If there are 5 numbers engraved on the barrel of the lock, take the last two numbers and put 2W in front of them to purchase the right key.
  11. It does slip the clutches. But when stationary with foot firmly on the brake the pressure is low
  12. maybe a good deal. mileage a bit high for my taste but as long as the cabin filter has been changed sounds like a bargain?
  13. I understood the rules to be a month earlier minus 1 day, so if it was due on the 9/9/23 the earliest would be the 10/8/23 so the 11th should have been fine.
  14. Tesla model 3 Volvo EX30 BMWIX3 Polestar2 (volvo) Smart 1 (mercedes) Audi Q6 Don't Saic also make many cars for the Volkswagen group Geeley make Volvos , Mercedes smart cars and Polestar Tesla model 3 also China https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/will-your-next-car-be-made-in-china/
  15. Is this an exmple of an ev (Tesla) owner's attitude to maintenance and using the MOT test as a guide. Not even bothering with advisories?
  16. The same driver in the video above during lockdown, but in traffic
  17. The control unit change the gear at the optimum revs no need to adjust throttle In top gear Hammond did it with a manual gearbox with a broken clutch
  18. basically what is being said is, when you start a new topic, type what the issue is about, Not your name. In the header. You have two "topics/threads" with the same title. "Jemm"
  19. Some key fobs only unlock the drivers door when pressed once, you have to press twice to open all doors. The key fob can usually be programmed to do it differently . The childlock buttons on the drivers door stop the back doors being opened from the inside.
  20. A good fuel saving method is to try to drive without actually coming to a full stop (stop signs excepted) There are videos used in Midas training that show how. (No sound on them) Even though in some situations it almost appears to stop, the vehicle is still rolling. On roads in general if you don't drive on the bumper of the car in front you can save a good deal of fuel. Your focus has to be on the whole road ahead reacting to the traffic at the furthest point you can see. If you drop back you see more.
