Octavia Hatch SE L waiting time
My example is for what is the only car i class as "new" and that is one selected and ordered from the factory for me. The way you have described your purchases i doubt any have been Brand new.? They are more probably "stock new " pre-registered" or even the dreaded "newly registered" There is no such thing as "free" finance (or in fact free anything, someone pays) If a car has "free" finance there is a reason. https://www.drivingcleanercars.com/blog/why-0-used-car-finance-isn-t-always-the-best-deal

@30yearsacustomer If it works for you and it makes sense to you then that is all that matters. I take it that after your original P/x of your own car the subsequent p/xs are actually the equity remaining in the "leased" vehicle over and above the remaining money to pay. For me it means you are committing to pay over £300 a month forever and never own anything, but i can see where the "logic" is, in that you always have access to a "new" car.

Matrix Lights - Dazzling oncoming drivers
It is possible that they just see the bright lights and don't realise that they are not actually being blinded by them?

You should be able to see them working according to this user review. His appear to work perfectly Is the area of screen where the camera is clear? Have you tried adjusting the settings mentioned?

A few questions: What is the tax you say is included? Which pcp include the rac? Which car requires no servicing for over three years? Here is a Skoda PCP plan for A Skoda Octavia SEL The car is effectively £26,680 (£2,000 off for taking their plan) You pay £20,944 and can buy it for £10,989.10 at the end £31,933.10 Or give it back and have nothing As regards your comment "folklore" depreciation driving off the forecourt The above example £28,860 price As soon as it is purchased it becomes worth £24,050 because VAT is only payable when purchased new.

Superb Mk4
I think a good few variants will fall into the VED supplement bracket Cars above £40,000 pay a £390 annual supplement for five years from the second year of registration

Superb Mk4
I prefer an hatch/estate to an suv for the length from tailgate door to bottom of back seat. I want my space on the floor not in the air. i Cannot find an suv that gives almost 4ft with the back seats up like the Mondeo does (1175mm)

Low oil level on 2022 Superb 2.0 TDi - should I be worried
I would check the oil level with the dipstick at least once a month rather than wait 5 months for a warning message coming up.

Fuel gauge not working - Error B103E1B
High resistance can indicate an open circuit so possibly just a bad connection that you have cured by taking things apart and re-installing?

the truth about electric cars
I would expect it will be the 7kw for up to 12 hours at a time that will be controlled. Next step? "Vehicle to grid is the next stage on from smart charging. The idea is that electric vehicle owners will have a smart charging point that can talk to our technology via their energy supplier. EV owners can then automatically charge their car batteries when there is extra renewable power available and offload electricity when there is too much. Combining smart charging and vehicle to grid technology means the EV owner simply sets a minimum charge for their battery (enough to get them to work and back, for example) and if the system requires a boost overnight, we can draw electricity from their battery – they will be paid for this of course! Once the peak in demand has been satisfied, the charge will be returned. This power sharing idea also has the possibility to be used commercially too. Like using electric cars parked at airports or a fleet of commercial vehicles, which are normally parked overnight, to help manage the ups and downs of renewable electricity generation. In 2050, our latest Future Energy Scenarios (FES 2021) shows the total electricity demand for road transport in 2050 will be down to 153TWh. One way to think of vehicle to grid charging (V2G) is that it acts as a mini battery, giving power back to grid in times of high demand." https://www.nationalgrideso.com/future-energy/our-progress-towards-net-zero/net-zero-explained/electric-vehicles/evs-and

But that requires a subscription, i would not want to be paying to set the clock.

Setting Timezone & Daylight Savings Time
I would be equally disappointed if a car needed an internet connection to put the clock right. Set to GPS signal the car receives the time in UTC then the user tells it where it is and when that country applies DST
