When cars reach a certain age it is a good idea to check earthing points, can cause all sorts of electrical intermittent problems.

Have spent a bit of time reading the brochure It appears that the SE does not have Lane assist So why the button is there i have no idea other than the suggestion that the same steering wheel is fitted whatever model is produced.

But if they sign more people up for "green tariffs" than the amount of green energy generated that would be fraud?

I think the answer may be On your computer you can name folders and right click and change details on screen , your computer then shows them on screen. The car may read the details in the "properties" of the files so if they are different that is probably the difference you are seeing on the car screen.

"But you have this already?" I cannot find the part in the book where it says lane assist does not work unless you have ACC They are separate systems sold within a package if not fitted as standard. Are you saying that your car does not give a nudge of the steering wheel if you try to change lanes without indicating?

Can you give me the page number that you read this please? https://digital-manual.skoda-auto.com/w/en_GB/show/3bd48b725f9f193c0adf42c7670dad78_10_en_GB?ct=3bd48b725f9f193c0adf42c7670dad78_10_en_GB#titled1636692e170681 https://www.skoda-auto.com/services/kodiaq-videos#lane-assist

Apologies if this has already been posted

Insulating ultra high voltage cables to put underground for great lengths would be cost prohibitive. The cables between pylons are bare for heat dissipation?

Thanks for the info I was thinking i was going to be supplied with some gizmo that the phone plugged into to change the plug to ethernet Changing everyone's router will prove expensive?

a work colleague has been running a peugeot 2008 ev for 3 years and has just traded it in for a Nissan Juke mhev. he liked the Pug said it was brilliant for coming to work but not good if he wanted to go anywhere.

I may be wrong (i have been before) But I don't think the fibre being put down in your road/pavement is for your current provider to use. It is a competitor We had city fibre dig up all our streets and then leaflet drop us to switchover We now have another firm erecting dinosaur telegraph poles and running a cable in the air and doing the same. My understanding is the your copper cable will not be changed to your house unless you pay for it and BT and suppliers who use their network will carry on supplying your broadband as they do now, fibre to the street and copper to the house. The telephone will be disabled unless it runs through the router with an adaptor. Your existing landline phone will still work after the switchover, the only difference will be that your phone connects to your broadband router via an adapter. While the change in infrastructure is a huge undertaking, most end users won't have to do much. In fact, the official guidance from Ofcom is that your phone provider should supply you with an adapter. The four main phone providers- BT, Virgin, Sky, and TalkTalk- have all said they will do so, and you can find links to their statements on the switchover process at the end of this article. These four companies provide 85% of the UK's landline service. If you are in the remaining 15%, we recommend contacting your provider to find out if they will be supplying customers with adapters too.

I think Land rover sales may be down because it is not what it used to be

The following criteria should be used when assessing a cut in a tyre: any ply or cord that can be seen without touching the tyre - fail if by folding back rubber or opening a cut with a blunt instrument, so as not to cause further damage, exposed ply or cord can be seen irrespective of the size of the cut - fail if a cut which is more than 25mm or 10% of the section width whichever is the greater, is opened with a blunt instrument and cords can be felt but not seen - fail Before failing a cut, you must make sure it’s the cords that you can feel not a foreign object. If you’re not sure, then you should pass and advise.

EFB batteries represents the next step in technology for flooded batteries. They have longer cycle life and can cope much better with deep discharge than traditional flooded batteries. https://carbatterygeek.co.uk/efb-vs-agm-battery-best-for-stop-start/

Have they not just disappeared behind the seats when they have been folded?

I feel that the system maintaining the battery at 80% is a bit low but it is also important that a sealed AGM battery is not overcharged. They cannot be topped up like old lead acid batteries were in the past. So if they are overcharged they will fail prematurely. The 80% is the target because that is the minimum for the stop/start to work. Maybe giving the BMS two parameters to deal with would be too complicated?

Did you see the final thread starter's post in your second example regarding the ppf? "Hi All I FINALLY have an update! After almost coming to 1 year since the incident took place! This will be a juicy read! Final Decision from the ombudsman What happened Mr A’s car was damaged by a third party, so he claimed on his policy with ***. When his car was inspected it was discovered it had a clear paint protection film (PPF) applied to the bodywork. *** reviewed the claim and decided to decline it, avoid Mr A’s policy and refund his premium. It said this was because Mr A’s car was modified and if it had known about the PPF wrap then it wouldn’t have covered his car. Mr A didn’t think this was fair and complained, he didn’t agree the PPF was a modification as it hadn’t changed how the car looked and was there to protect the paint. *** reviewed the complaint and didn’t uphold it. It maintained its position that Mr A had failed to take reasonable care when taking out the policy. It said the PPF was what is known as a “wrap” and Mr A should have declared it when taking the policy out. *** said if he had then it wouldn’t have offered him a policy. Mr A didn’t think that was fair and brought his complaint here What I’ve decided – and why I’ve considered all the available evidence and arguments to decide what’s fair and reasonable in the circumstances of this complaint. The relevant law in this case is The Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012 (CIDRA). This requires consumers to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation when taking out a consumer insurance contract (a policy). The standard of care is that of a reasonable consumer. And if a consumer fails to do this, the insurer has certain remedies provided the misrepresentation is - what CIDRA describes as - a qualifying misrepresentation. For it to be a qualifying misrepresentation the insurer has to show it would have offered the policy on different terms or not at all if the consumer hadn’t made the misrepresentation. CIDRA sets out a number of considerations for deciding whether the consumer failed to take reasonable care. And the remedy available to the insurer under CIDRA depends on whether the qualifying misrepresentation was deliberate or reckless, or careless. *** thinks Mr A failed to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation when he took out the policy online. Mr A originally used an aggregator site and then was put through to ***. I’ve looked at the question Mr A was asked which says: “Has the car been modified in any way?” There is an explanation next to the question which says: “A modification is any change to the manufacturer’s original specification or features. That includes things like new stereos, body kits or spoilers, alloy wheels, new paintwork and any performance enhancement. I’m therefore not persuaded he’s failed to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation. And so, it follows that *** has no remedies under CIDRA. I’ve therefore looked at the impact on Mr A from *** unfairly avoiding his policy. *** refunded his premium and declined his claim. Mr A’s explained that due to the avoidance he’s had to do temporary repairs and that the insurance premiums have increased. I asked our investigator to let both parties know that I intended to direct *** to: 1. Remove any adverse entries related to the cancellation placed on any internal or external databases 2. Pay the claim in line with the terms and conditions of the policy. Mr A has said he’s paid £1,585 for temporary repairs. If these aren’t lasting and effective repairs, then *** will need to re-do the repairs to ensure the damage caused in the accident is repaired to acceptable industry standards 3. Pay Mr A the £1,585 he paid for the temporary repairs, as he shouldn’t have had to pay for them. 8% simple interest per year needs to be added to this amount to compensate him for not having the money 4. Pay Mr A £350 as compensation for the distress and inconvenience caused My final decision For the reasons explained above, my final decision is that I uphold this complaint. I require *************** to: 1. Remove any adverse entries related to the avoidance placed on any internal or external databases and provide Mr A with a letter confirming it avoided the policy in error. 2. Pay the claim in line with the terms and conditions of the policy. Mr A has said he’s paid £1,585 for temporary repairs. If these aren’t lasting and effective repairs, then *** will need to re-do the repairs to ensure the damage caused in the accident is repaired to acceptable industry standards. 3. Pay Mr A the £1,585 he paid for the temporary repairs, as he shouldn’t have had to pay for them. 8% simple interest per year needs to be added to this amount, calculated from the date Mr A paid for the repairs until the date of settlement. 4. As *** is paying the claim it’s entitled to the premium. If *** seeks payment for this, it will need to deduct what Mr A paid for his new policy, for the time it would overlap with his policy with ***. 5. Pay Mr A £350 as compensation for the distress and inconvenience caused Under the rules of the Financial Ombudsman Service, I’m required to ask Mr A to accept or reject my decision I WON THE CASE!!! I have accepted the terms above and i am now waiting on *** to get in contact with me they have 4 weeks from the 13th November to get touch and rectify the problems! I haven't heard from them thus far and eagerly awaiting their call so i can finally get out of them what i should've in the 1st place! "
