the truth about electric cars
Can someone highlight the chargers in the pictures? Where the car is parked on the "drive", would he not have to leave through the bins?

the truth about electric cars
It is a ridiculous expectation that you can drive across a pavement to park in your garden. You have to apply to the council to drop the pavement Without the dropped kerb there would be no way of preventing people parking parallel to the kerb and blocking him in.

There may be more to the driveway story than meets the eye. Google maps shows that property in 2022 with a disabled bay outside and no dropped kerb to access the property. Attempts to circumvent planning regulations should always be resisted.

Hot air on passenger side. Only cold air on drivers side.
Just done a bit more digging and apparantley if the sensors are faulty it should show up in the vcds. I think they are behind little grills either side of the dashboard but one is difficult to access . I was thinking you could swap them round to see if the problem moved. But then i discovered this which appears to cover all VAG cars People in the comments section of this video say this cured the problem you describe? Similar thread

Auto lock issue
A friend at work has a Sportage 71 plate. He has not seen it since January when it went in for a problem, he still has the loan car though. All manufacturers have problems.

When your car is being serviced etc, would you expect your car to be covered by your insurance or the garages/dealers?
I think there is some confusion going on here with the OP title and the story. Aviva, Halford's insurer paid The claim. it says so in the story. The owner of the car should have submitted a bill to Halfords for his Car hire etc for them to pass on to their insurance Company Aviva. He is a third party in that claim. The puncture cost is because he didn't add tyre cover to his car rental, which he could have done and it would have saved the bill and the extra cost for the cover would be in his invoice as a third party claim on Halford's Aviva policy. After that somehow the Claim must have been recorded on the insurance Database against the vehicles History as a claim by the insured. It will all have probably been resolved by now as it says at the end of the story. But saying all was well in the end doesn't sell copy as they say.

Considering a Karoq 2.0L TSI Sportline
Cars that cost £40,000 or more (after options) are subject to a further £410 annual supplement (up from £380 in 2023/2024) that runs for five years. This kicks in after the first-year’s CO2-based charge, so you’ll pay the supplement from years two to six of the car’s life. If you haggle a plus-£40,000 car down to below £40,000, you’ll still have to pay the supplement as it's based on the cost of the car for tax purposes.

Emissions
Apologies i was confused i thought it was regarding Co2 but now realise it's only a test for emissions that are actually harmful to the environment.. "A diesel emission test measures ‘opacity’ which refers to the density of particles that exit the exhaust. Light is used to measure opacity, which an emission analyser uses the data to calculate an opacity reading. The ‘plate value’ of a car is used during a diesel emission test. This holds the manufacturer’s data for the level at which the car must be below in order to pass an emission test." " An emission test for a petrol car measures the gasses that exit the exhaust. The required reading must be within specified limits of the vehicle."

Emissions
I used to put a bottle of https://www.forteuk.co.uk/product/diesel-specialist-injector-cleaner/ into half a tank of fuel and go for a twenty minute run up the motorway prior to a retest after a mondeo 03 plate failed on emissions. Also check the air filter is clean. Always passed second time. I think all MOTs are "Connected" now

Water in Engine oil!
A warranty can only be extended to 100,000 miles. With your annual mileage i would be concerned they are trying to kick the can down that road. Are they suggesting it's condensation? If you wipe it off and dip again what does it look like?

High rpm at startup
Does it do this every time or just when it is cold ? It is not unusual for a car to start this way.

Set DRLs to totaly OFF when Low Beams is ON
DRLs are not mandatory in Australia or Japan either but don't see the relevance of other Countries to the OP's question. To answer it we would need to know Serbia's regulations as to why his DRLS stay the same brightness. And to answer how or if he can turn them off?
