U1030 Meaning Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set. So you have a canbus datalink problem, or it might be a sensor that is built into the radiator. Not a spare part so new radiator required.

The battery management system, needs to know the battery has been changed to adjust the charging curve for the new battery. The BMS is tied into the alternator freewheel clutch, and the start stop system.

Surprised that past the MOT, looks like pretty severe leakage to me. I would change them.

Good to see someone putting safety before cost. You will be fine with a 7mm tread on one tyre and 8mm on the new tyre. Provided the new tyre is identical including the load rating. I know of people who had traction control problems after fitting a new tyre, when the other tyre on the same axle had 5mm tread remaining. This was with the Kona EV running Nexen tyres.

I'd rather deal with the stone chips than look like a tit. 🤣

Title say sit all really... Battery, should be 12.5 volts minimum after 2 hrs of non use. If it's less than that, consider a new battery. Diesel batteries get clobbered, and with PAS alone capable of taking 60 AMPS a good battery is essential. Screen Wash. Use plenty of screenwash additive to prevent freezing of washer fluid. Too little and you risk blowing pipes off the washer pump or tailgate fittings. Wipers. Check blades are in good condition. Don't operate wipers if frozen to the screen. If you do F15 will most likely blow. Tyres. 3mm minimum tread. 1.6mm is the legal limit, but you really need 3mm or more for winter use. Check the spare wheel condition and pressure, Nothing worse than getting a puncture, only to discover the spare is flat. Aircon. Use it now and again during winter to prevent system seals drying out and leaking due to lack of use. Carry a bag of rags to clean lights between washes. Edit: Have anti freeze protection level checked. 50/50 G12 works nicely
