Blue sky thinking out of the box, maybe while taking psychoactive drugs. Lets hurry up and develop these nuclear powered vehicles & until then ban all cars for personal use. No point rushing into things.

Depends on the pressure of the more air. Then sidewalls and if XL (Reinforced or not) So maybe lose some supposed sportiness of the handing for more comfort, or roll.

Is generating electricity and using it for transportation while being able to reduce burning fossil fuels like coal, oil or gas to generate it a mistake? Is planning for reducing the emissions of road vehicles and other transportation a mistake? Is letting people just put out as much pollution as they wish going to be continuing within Europe a sensible thing?

If only everyone was so proactive. If everyone checked tyre pressures or looked at treads or the inside wall of tyres before TPMS warnings or MOT failures.

@Richard80945 Maybe a title that gives a clue would be an idea. Or just post more what the job being done.

Avoid AC like the plaque. Find an Automatic Gearbox Specialist then. Just not the one near Sherwood Garage (Car sales) Baillieston Rd. £375 should include the filter changed. I do not know these below. But there must be someone good someplace.

Rear tyres that have taken a shape can be hopeless moved to the front. Steering, braking, traction at the front is pretty damn essential. Try controlling back end or front end when the tyres are crap and should be scrapped. Real world, real rain, cold roads, Snow, FWD or RWD or 4x4 or part time AWD.

Welcome. Is this The Skoda Dealership or an Independent in Stirling? So is it a 1.2TSI? When were the Spark Plugs replaced? Have they not been inspected? I would expect they were since a borescope done. Did they look OK and not changed? Can we assume the Air Filter has been checked and is clean? PS. Just nosy, is it E10 Unleaded you use. Just there have been plenty with issues with Fuel since the Iran situation. What Petrol do you buy?

Welcome to the forum. Is it a 1.5 TSI ACT Front Wheel drive? If a DQ381 then according to Skoda /VW it is at 80,000 miles and the filter not til 2nd service & 160,000 miles. But best go with 40,000 miles, and the filter then and at each service. AI has it wrong according to the VW Group Schedule but for once wrong for the better. IMO.

^^^ & they do Premium, Performance & Racing car oils as well as perfectly good regular oil.

It has changed with the 1.5 TSI. Can be Fixed or Variable / Flexible. 18,000-20,000 miles / 24 months. (But if running mainly on Electric and seldom firing up the engine best stay on fixed.) DQ400-e DSG is an Oil & Filter change at 40,000 miles or sooner.

Sounds a ridiculous price for Coil & Leads. Have we to assume the 4 spark plugs are good and have been inspected and not needing replaced?

^^^ VW are the masters of screwing down the cost to them, and never knowingly 'over spec' consumables.

.

They were, by 20,000 miles. The schedule is 4 years / 40,000 miles on the spark plugs. I would say especially with a 1.5 TSI ACT 40,000 miles is long enough before replacing.

Home or low tariff charging is damn cheap travelling by car. Simples, and then for Business use there are the saving in Tax to take into account. Simples. Many New BEV,s no matter who bought or owned them are now with others. Bought as 2nd hand / Used / Cherished vehicles. As long as there are First Registered BEV,s there are are growing numbers on the roads or SORN'd / In Trade. Maybe time that SOLAR PANELS discussions and Battery Storage etc and the technicalities had a thread of it's own.

Quite a history of issues up to this.

Last week i asked Google AI a few questions of answers i knew and i was given totally wrong answers. As far as Company Cars, or Company Vehicles i have no idea and am not actually sure i would trust whoever it is with the statistics and scores on the doors. Office for National Statistics is not reliable, or the DVLA, HMRC or SMMT as far as i am concerned. Private drivers leasing / renting cars are not buying them, there is a company / business / financial institution or maybe Motability BUYING the vehicle NEW.

^^^ That is good. 20*oC Ambient temp. 82 actual capacity minus 20% is 65.6 kWh. 356 miles divided by 65.6 = 5.4 miles a kWh. So if you can get 5.4 miles a kWh the Guessometer is spot on. Just a question of doing 350 miles and still having a few miles left and you will know.

The recommended oil by VW / Skoda for a 1.5 TSI ACT since 2018 is VW 508 00/ 509 00 so 0w 20 FS IV............ Not VW504 00 / 507 00 , 0w 30 FS III or 5w 30 FS III. PS. Personally it matters not if from ASDA, TESCO, COMMA or anyone else as long as to spec and from a trusted supplier. Nothing special from CASTROL and UK dealers get from TPS Fuchs oil / Quantum.

I bags the red one.

The insert for jack / tools from a MK2,3 or 4 Fabia 15" spare wheel will fit with space around it. PS. Always worth trying a wheel off the car in the Spare tyre well to see if it does fit. After all you have to put it someplace untilll you get it replaced or repaired and the car / boot might be full. 17" or even 18" tyres on a Fabia can go in the Spare Tyre well.

How many miles on the car, when were the spark plugs replaced?. It needs read for any Logged Fault Codes. eg Misfires. It could have had enough in a cycle to have the EPC light show & into Limp Mode. Maybe just not the Engine / Emissions light.

Best peole rememeber from the factory on factory fit tyres the speedo overeads. Increase in circumference usually has nearer accurate. When not too oversized.

Re discs. Location location location. I sèe Scotland. Is the car parked kerb side. Many a rusty disc or sticky caliper is from wet/ salty rain water hitting drivers side. More than passengers when parked up. Maybe more an issue some regions / weather conditions.
