On on vehicles 1st registered in the UK from the 1st March 2018.

@Graham Butcher What has the Government missing out on income from fuel duty got to do with things than? That was what i read in your post and thought WTF is he on about. Anyway what a carry on about Climate Change and fires and now floods and it is just another warm summer.

Local Authority,s / Councils. It is not the Treasury or Governments getting the cash money / income from ULEZ / LEZ or Average speed cameras is it?

Thread revival. No point IMO on a new thread since it is about Harry. Security is a private matter, the Prime Minister says so. Lets see just what Security the Prince and Family does get as the travel on the Kings Highways. The dude himself as a War Hero who admitted to how many he killed from his seat up in a helicopter. Surely he has a very high price on his head.

Many report jerkiness, often motoring journalists & often those new to a DSG. As it is they are fitted to a big variety of engines, power outputs from 69 bhp to over 300 bhp. Funnily the same vehicle might be jerky off the line with one driver and not with another. Best to comment might be driving instructors that teach in cars with a DSG. There are 3 of these i know on on this forum.

The Low Emission Zone in Glasgow is certainly not about money making. It costs more to administer than it brings in. But then people should learn or change their vehicles and stop being fined. Not everyone can get away with failing to pay time after time. Plenty still do though.

@Ianhar You are doing lots of miles so is the car getting charged daily and running on electron and petrol. Do you start runs on petrol and save the battery for use later or how do you work it? Allowing it to warm up is maybe doing no favours as far as oil / petrol use compared to start it and go and do not boot it until engine oil temp is up a bit.

That was a good £10 more than it is when already expensive at £12 a litre.

^^^ A 1.5TSI Hybrid. PS. recommended by VW / Skoda, VW508 00 / 509 00. So 0w20 FS IV.

Many issues / faults are KNOWN ISSUES to VW Group, Dealers / Technicians. Maybe even with a TSP / TPI, yet time after time, 'Never heard of that before', never seen that before, and sometimes 'they all do that'. The VW way. 3 monkeys or Tommy. Deaf, dumb and blind. The internet really has stuffed it up for the VW group.

@Graham Butcher What interests me really is what is actually happening here . So UK Insurers are those that should know if other statistics from Fire & Emergency services include other vehicles than just BEV Cars, vans, busses, lorries. No point the figures for e-bikes, e-scooters as electric vehicles.

UK is of the greatest interest to me. Not Australia or the USA or RoW. But there have been areas of the UK very hot this year so far. Maybe that will result in different statistics later this year. Lots of imported BEV,s into the UK from around the globe. & Lots of PHEV,s.

How is it going with EV,s on fire in the UK as the numbers on the road or in storage have been growing. There seems to be very little media coverage on this recently. Is it just less of a story or less scaremongering from the usual suspects in the printed press?

Insurance quotes are so different from the various providers. Those advertising Special EV insurance like Admiral can be a ridiculous price. As to Comparison sites. Compare the market, showed me better prices than either Confused.con or Supermarket. Com. This year Ageas has provided me good cover at a great price.

As all the owners manuals say for all VW group engines. ' may use more oil in the first 5,000 km'. This can be true with some engines, especially the 1.5 tsi,s. On this forum there have been reports of the models with Digital Checking and no dipstick showing 'Over filled warnings' and this is where the oil in the engine was from the factory or as it was at the PDI before hand over. The same potential Oil use warning has been given for decades now by VW Group.
