  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. If that is the case, the display could be the in car satnav simultaneously giving instructions to an earlier entry on it's system?
  5. 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?
  6. The way i see Audi drivers driving i am not suprised they don't get MPG or m/kwh quoted
  7. Am i wrong in thinking a 4.8w charge would take 2,708 hours to charge a 13kw battery?
  8. 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/
  9. 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
  10. I think it's an EFB027 600ca 65ah
  11. (a) is the answer The same you would have done in a regular automatic in reverse
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. If it's a red heart and they are not there when you scroll, i think you are right, they will not appear later. But what you may be able to do is looking at the area on the map , zoom in and touch the destination and add it to favourites now.
  16. Strange. the second link was from Skoda website https://digital-manual.skoda-auto.com/w/en_GB/welcome Can you use the map on the system to search? by pinching and scrolling the screen. If you move it about to the area where you know you previously saved a destination there should be a Flag on it?
  17. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/971896/Skoda-Amundsen.html?page=53#manual Was what i read There is also https://digital-manual.skoda-auto.com/w/en_GB/show/f1c0b3bf9af61667142f85dee36d56fc_10_en_GB?ct=0c569034696c050bac14452541c94e67_2_en_GB#titled11963303e99231
  18. Where they saved to Last destinations or Favourites? I am thinking from the way i read the instruction book that "last destinations" automatically keeps all last destinations entered up to a max 50, these i imagine would be overwritten once the capacity reached. Destinations can also be stored in "Destination memory" and "favourites" max 50 which i expect it would tell you when full If you stored them from a vcard they should be in "destination memory" or "Favourites", but is that where you are looking for them? Apologies if you have tried all this but your post just mentions "stored" but not in which list. You have not stated checking the "favourites" list
  19. Your question includes the answer you are looking for?
  20. Mechatronics units in wet dual clutch semi automatic gearboxes that are not serviced will fail.
  21. Now i have seen the "fitted" picture Did you take the cover off then put it back on? @Shuggyboatsuperb Does it go through a hole in the side of the ring around the socket. That should be simple to put back. Take the lid off, bend the bottom pin into the slot. poke it through hole then refit the lid.
  22. The need for it probably depends upon how long you wish to keep the car. If you don't intend too keep it long you can get away with neglecting it. You will move on before the car has the issues you give it. Even with 80,000 ? service interval it would not mean 12 years. If a high mileage motorway user (less gear changes/less gearing wear) i would personally not go over 4 year Up to 80,000 miles. Lower mileages per year i would go for 4 years. The quality of the oil is important, it is the Swarf that degrades the oil and contaminates the solenoids in the mechatronic unit. In use they magnetise and those pesky metal filings stick them up and cause gearchange failures. Reports of missing gears and no reverse or clunking when changing I wonder why different manufacturers have different schedules for the same gearboxes? Maybe they know their target market. That aside my post in this thread was just to highlight that the gearbox service if and when required was not covered by the plan.
