Maybe try next time not in ECO & B drive. Just get a move on and home.

Maybe post a picture of what your DSG shifter looks like and the 'panel in front' or around of it where the Yellow 'Pull release' is under.

^^^ All my vehicles are female.

Not done it on a Kamiq but have on other DQ200,s. Not difficult, and ant Breakdown Recovery person will do it, or just put the front wheels on dollys.

^^^ Arnold Clark Servicing Central Booking offered me a Special Offer when booking in an EV which was a Motability Car and i was not paying for the Service or Recall action. The Special price was for a Fuel Treatment & Engine Flush. They also said no Automatic Courtesy cars. I pointed out they had e-Corsa Courtesy cars the same as was getting serviced and they only come as AUTOMATICS..............Some BEV,s require a reduction diff oil change. Tesla, Nissan Leaf. Pollen filters, Brake Fluid changes. Brakes, suspension, steering components Servicing & Maintenance, Wipers, hinges. XXXXXXXXXXXBelow my Fixed for 12 month tariff. Eon Next. If i renewed 1 day earlier it would have been cheaper. 'He who hesitates!'

Lots of people are just not wanting Wind or Solar Electricity messing up where they live, they want it to them from other places as if by magic.

Just remember if you are ever pulled for a 'Roadside check' say it was you that did the DPF delete and not land the garage in the sh!t.

@Warrior193 3rd time there with dogs and the other cars are parked all days. So doors can be opened and then i am away. No point me in a bay if someone parks next to me and i could not get back in the car. Only the EV charging bays are wide.

The Police Offices / Station was moved out of Forfar to beside the Council HQ that they are trying to sell and the Public Charging hub. This is the first time i have seen a Police EV charging on the 50 kW chargers that seldom give that Max output. 2 Officers in the car while charging. What a total P!th take and waste of time. At least they can sit looking at a couple of nice cars.

They do like to lie quite often. BUT if they do not want your business that is maybe that. Spark plugs are 40,000 miles or 4 years. They might be perfect after 5,600 miles & 9 years. But best check, and while taking out and looking as well to have them changed. ...........................I was denied booking for a service offer on a Skoda Fabia vRS at a VW Dealership (Their service price included spark plugs and the Skoda service did not.) as they had a cartel running with the Skoda Dealership the service desk person claimed that they had no Equipment or software to Service and update the Service record. I asked to speak to the Dealer Principal. I explained that i was quite happy to call the local Radio station and newspaper and point out how they operated. He explained there was some misunderstanding @ the Service Desk and they were happy to service VW Group vehicles. PS. Air Filter needs checked, Pollen filter as well. Maybe replaced If not done recently. When was the Oil & Filter changed last?

Looking forward to hearing how they are long term as far as grip and wear rate. Just watch for early wear of edges.

Sounds very much a lemon.

Bump for @travs or anyone.

Move on IMO.

@varooom was a great loss to this forum. Much knowledge and not appreciated enough like many that were here and techs and trained and qualified in Mechanical Engineering, electronics and the rest. Motor car stuff.

Wonderfull as long as no malfunctions and recovery not required by a heavy duty ICE or BEV vehicle and there will be qualified mechanics. Everything is bigger in Ametica.

There is a total bargain mk2 Fabia up for sale..

Member selling a 2018 1.5 tsi Octavia estate on forum. Ideal camping trip etc car. Mich cheapness.

Welcome. 1.8 tsi is best avoided. They can be a real lottery. PS.be sure to check out For Sale cars on Briskoda from members. Often well sorted cars.

@Graham Butcher you need to go look at top out speeds ev,s and if you are prepared to go to yours to catch up an ev that was at 120 when you had not got to 100 mph or even that.

@lol-lol every drive is not about drivng to an empty tank or battery. Or a commute. Some dfive for leisure and pleasure and just go places to then come back. Sports cars or classics or whatever might never make economic sense, just good for your soul.

My MG ev with 150 bhp real world is more liked to a Superb 280 but the 280 is just not as quick. A MG x-power is just on a differdng level speed wise to the VW grouo ice hot hatches or ev.s. and is awd. Might not get out of corners on OEM tyres.

As to regen and in city or out and about. Truth of the matter getting a move on and coasting can give plenty regen. And driving quick and ajusting regen for braking. Just like using a dsg and S to slow down. Being told about how to drive an ev by those that get taught by thd inteternet and not actually driving is just how it seems to be with EV,s and the real world.

Truth of the matter we do not all slow down and when other nut jobs think they should be Road Captain there are some like to show them what instant accelsraion really is.
