  1. Rivian winter road trip data, I know it's a pick up truck, but imagine the cost Rapid charging in the uk?
  2. I think Kyle says at the beginning Michelin all season (cross climates uk?) tyres
  3. A deep dive so only for those interested
  4. Coming to the UK next year
  5. If the funnel caught the sediment I would just fill the tank with a premium diesel fuel. Five weeks is a short time for the fuel to go off it's possible the sediment was in the jerry can when you put it in. "AI response: Since the fuel was only 5 weeks old, those grains weren't "growth" or "dirt"—they were almost certainly paraffin wax crystals" In the winter fuel stations normally sell diesel treated for winter to stop it waxing, beware of your supplier.
  6. Van sales same place the car sales data comes from
  7. In 2025, several used diesel models saw significant appreciation; for example, a three-year-old diesel Honda HR-V increased in value by 11.3%, while the Mercedes CLS rose by 8%. Demand for used diesels has, at times, outpaced the declining supply, creating a competitive market where dealers must pay a premium for stock, which is then passed on to consumers.
  8. From AI Also check fuses for ABS It would be an idea to see if the car starts and runs with the ABS module disconnected too
  9. Does your OBD reader get power (lights up) but just says "Link Error," or does it stay completely dark when you plug it in?
  10. This ^^^^ Maybe with help from someone else pushing own on the bonnet to take some resistance out
  11. Cheapest possible place to start and rule out: Immobiliser: lock and unlock the car and try again. Some cars if you take too long after getting in before starting the immobiliser kicks in and won't reset until you reset it that way.
  12. The importance of a good 12v This EV ran out of traction Battery power and the systems drained the 12v before it could be put on charge. See what happened when they charged the traction battery up again and the effects of poor 12v on the management systems
  13. My Enyaq has a 12v socket in the boot that can be permanent or not depending on the fuse position
  14. I think sometimes the tester is just covering their back by over advising due to lack of experience where another would have better knowledge of oxidation and how bad it was. I got tyre advisories at 3.5mm which is over twice the limit and only on one part of the tyres. I do 5,000 miles a year so could be a good while before I change at 3mm across the centre 75%. I suppose it's useful for those who don't do checks themselves which is probably common nowadays
  15. The specific code 1.1.11 (c) is technically the failure code for "excessively corroded" pipes. However, the distinction between an advisory and a failure is often a "judgement call" by the inspector based on the following: 1. The "Surface Rust" vs. "Pitting" Rule Advisory: If the corrosion is just surface rust or scale that hasn't eaten into the metal, it is usually recorded as an advisory so you can monitor it. Fail (Major): If the corrosion has caused deep pitting or the pipe's wall thickness is reduced by more than 1/3 (roughly 0.25mm), it must be failed under 1.1.11 (c). 2. Benefit of the Doubt According to the DVSA MOT Inspection Manual, if a tester is unsure whether the corrosion is severe enough to be a failure, they are instructed to give the benefit of the doubt to the vehicle owner. In these cases, they will pass the car but issue an advisory note.
  16. There are small solar panel battery maintainers available for around £30, maybe useful if you leave it so long.
  17. AI is very reliable as a source of info isn't it? So I go off lived experience
  18. If only seen when first starting and then it goes away there is a chance it is the first sign of a 12v battery voltage drop. I would wait until it gives you more info either with another lamp or message in the system messages. Could also be a dodgy earth connection to the body from the battery, once the car is run the problem goes away.
  19. In the UK, the '25' number plates were released on March 1, 2025, for new cars registered between March and August 2025?
  20. Not sure about that model but in some cars switching off internal monitoring before exiting the vehicle disables the tilt alarm as well.
  21. It has become more important now because of the change of fluids used. Back in the day, as they say, replacing linings and bleeding the brakes afterwards was probably sufficient to return the fluid to a safe condition. Nowadays brake linings seem to last longer, especially evs, and water getting in to the system by absorption effects the fluid differently, instead of dilution in dot3 and dot4 it separates out in dot5. You will probably not notice it's happening until you need your brakes in an emergency or prolonged braking. Gambling not to service it is a personal choice.
