  1. Can you not put the 12v battery on charge or jump start it with another car?
  2. Maybe the answer is only if you are asked if you have been on one. Uswitch https://www.uswitch.com/car-insurance/speed-awareness-course/ So it must all depend upon the wording in the insurance application form and if the speed awareness course would change the answer. E.g Have you any points for speeding.......no Have you been convicted for speeding ..No Have you attended speed awareness course? If the question wasn't asked you have no change to report.
  3. Appears to have gone from the April 2024 brochure https://www.skoda.co.uk/_doc/775d73bc-eb9d-4a50-911e-863d73b99333
  4. Fuse 18? https://ownersmanuals.blob.core.windows.net/ownersmanuals/en/Octavia_1Z/05-2011/OwnersManual.pdf
  5. Maybe the nonsense is people expecting to achieve the figures all the time? I take them as "Comparison" The figure achieved by vehicles under the same parameters and conditions.
  6. Tesla sold 1,845,985 cars in 2023 if they do that this year they can sell an ice allowance of 406,000 The bigger auto groups could also takeover some of the many Chinese manufacturers? They will find a way to meet the demands of the buyers Or the buyers of ice vehicles not wanting Bevs will just hang on to the cars longer. There is also the chance that Bevs will actually start ticking all the boxes, CATL's 1,000 km battery could be it?
  7. Published: 27 March 2019 Updated: 20 November 2023 https://www.parkers.co.uk/car-advice/speed-limiters-what-they-mean-for-you/ The system is not designed to immediately slow the car down. A series of warnings should happen first.
  8. Could the brake caliper be binding on the side it pulls towards?
  9. I think she has been watching Highway cops on saturday mornings, covering New Zealands roads? I don't see how creating more offences that can be comittted improves things. We already have a system in which young drivers can lose their licences with less points for two years. We need more traffic enforcement in general rather than just targeting youth
  10. Source of the 2.1 per woman https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7834459/ Source of The prospect of UK population declining without immigration https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/the-impact-of-migration-on-uk-population-growth/ My full post was in response to a discussion that Global population will start to fall. The consensus is that it will as other Countries develop and more Women globally see less need for having many Children. I get your point about multiple generations existing at the same time but as each generation has less children the numbers of Grandparents with many Grandchildren will reduce.
  11. How the mitsubishi outlander works
  12. If the UK did not promote immigration, population would be decreasing now. The birth rate in the UK is below Two per Woman. So as the globe becomes more advanced the birth rate in more Countries will drop It is true that Global population has been predicted to start falling in the next decade by more than one set of genius' Having said that the Office for National Statistics has projected that the UK population would grow to 72.4m by mid-2045.
  13. I thought he got were he did with acquisitions of many dealerships All dealers can sell a lemon This recent watchdog on Cinch ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001yc1x/the-one-show-17042024?seriesId=unsliced
  14. If dIY it's probably better to source parts from a local motor factors, then when you see they are the wrong size you can take them back quicker. On the europarts website 1zE 1ZS are 276mm and 1ZG are 256mm discs If you input the details Kamiq 1ltr 2020 it shows both and tells you to check before ordering The fitment detail tabs just show the dimensions and do not offer clues to model or spec of the car
  15. If that is the case, the display could be the in car satnav simultaneously giving instructions to an earlier entry on it's system?
  16. https://www.amazon.co.uk/AA-Essentials-AA1432-Battery-Charger/dp/B084M5ZL5L?th=1 Will help slow parasitic battery drain of the 12v battery whilst the car is parked up?
  17. The way i see Audi drivers driving i am not suprised they don't get MPG or m/kwh quoted
  18. Am i wrong in thinking a 4.8w charge would take 2,708 hours to charge a 13kw battery?
  19. Confused now. I would never put any vehicle in neutral. Just take my foot off the accelerator. Let the car keep control of itself. In my diesel the MPG instant reading goes up to 99.9mpg (it can't report any higher) https://evecocharge.com/electric-vehicle-range-tips-how-an-ev-works/
  20. The rule is "Don't do it excessively" It's like riding the clutch in a manual, sometimes you have to. The situation you are describing you have to The DSG is a manual gearbox with two clutches controlled by a computer. https://www.allthingsmotoringinternational.com/articles/should-you-fear-the-dual-clutch-gearbox
  21. I think it's an EFB027 600ca 65ah
  22. (a) is the answer The same you would have done in a regular automatic in reverse
  23. It is possible you are a victim of the Battery management system in newer cars, so changing it wouldn't help. There is a thread on here somewhere about disabling it and the car will perform as your old one did. I am sure someone will jump in and explain.
  24. Ice won't have to meet the targets being set for electric energy consumption, electric range, battery durability though. Brake dust will depend upon the driver but the rules will just modify the manufacturing process and make them dearer probably the same with tyres. I expect there to be resurgence in ICE sales as the deadline nears. The government have already done things to make people hang on to their cars longer and Euro 7 will probably add to that too Massive discounts like the one Nissan has just done on the leaf and Vauxhall did last year with the Corsa are also going to put people off buying a new EV. It will also affect the PCP deals offered and put the monthly payments up on the new ones for those who want to rent the vehicles. GFVs are going to suffer. The next ten years will be very entertaining
  25. How? The changes on ICE are that the diesels will have to meet the Nox limit of the Petrol reached in Euro 6 and the length of time cars have to meet the emissions level will be increased from 5 years to 10 Londoners will still be able to drive a twenty year old Jaguar into the ulez zone. Unless Khan moves the goalposts All the other changes will apply to all cars including BEV
