You turn it on, you point, you press the shutter - same on both film and digital - not the best analogy you could have chosen.

I would take the bill and a print of the digital record to the garage that did the service and insist they update the digital record.

I had a Toyota Aygo with a laser based "panic braking" system and 2 Octavia 3's with a radar based system, TBH they both have similar quirks of false detections of vehicles in front - usually when not steering straight ahead as they seem to look at your trajectory not just simply directly in front.

You don't say what engine your Scout has? Does that Castrol EDGE have a VAG approval code, and if so is it the correct one for your engine? I would question the comment that one litre of oil per month is "usual", my 2016 Octavia doesn't need topping up between "annual" services and I'm averaging nearly 10,000 miles per year!

Something stayed alive to flatten the battery, maybe they need to keep the car overnight (or longer) under video surveillance preferably so they can reproduce the problem?

It started after the installation of the tow bar, which suggest to me that something has either been disturbed or not done correctly either physically or in the software setup during the tow bar installation.

Puzzled by your comment - how will an update help with a lost SD card?

95% of EV drivers isn't very meaningful as it doesn't tell how many would be EV drivers there are who do NOT have access to off-road charging.

Ross-Tech Upgrade Program This is the Ross-Tech VCDS upgrade program to the HEX-V2 and HEX-NET, but the UK distributors also offer upgrade options Ross-Tech Distributors

I hope your normal driving pattern includes regular long drives so that the DPF regens can happen.

MIB2 CarPlay Activation - Redditch

I have these, no codes!

My point is that GHG emissions are not the ONLY cause of warming and cooling cycles. Using your same argument that one year is not a trend then to base our future actions on 2024 exceeding a target set in Paris is not something that should provoke more actions than are already agreed and being implemented.

Officially it's only available and usable by dealers, but there are specialists who can enable Smartlink - I went to a company in the UK Midlands to get Smartlink enabled so I can use Apple CarPlay.

What about the natural climate changes that have been occurring since well before the Industrial Revolution, such as the Dark Ages warming and the 17th Century mini Ice Age? They happened without any significant input from mankind, similar natural events are still happening such as El Nino & El Nina - and may indeed be behind the latest prediction that 2025 won't be as warm globally as 2024 was? https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/news-and-media/media-centre/weather-and-climate-news/2024/2025-global-temperature-outlook

Sounds like an admission without admitting it ❓

Activating Smartlink (and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) isn't done by a software update. It requires a FEC code.

So in this context - mitigation = coping with the effects of climate change, and avoidance = trying to prevent climate change?

For F***s Sake!

@you06 The language of this forum is English, you'll get much more help if you post in English.

See my earlier post - certainly at St Ives beach there is little/no evidence of sea level rising in over 150 years.

I always get nervous at the word average as it can mask local effects and lead to unreliable assumptions e.g. if a few locations have large changes then averaging can make it appear that all locations have changes.

... and hydro and tidal to mitigate the need for so much battery storage for the effects of e.g. winter anticyclonic calms.

Rising sea levels is something that's always puzzled me for 3 reasons: 1) a few years ago I stayed in a studio apartment in the old fish warehouse in St Ives that was built in the 19th Century. It is right on the edge of the shingle beach, and the sea is no nearer to it than when it was built about 150 years ago - so no sign of a rising sea level there? 2) ground level height data from satellites confirms what my Geography teacher taught me in the early 1970's, which is that due to tectonic plate activity from the mid-Atlantic fault the UK is tilting on a North-South axis with the East coast dropping. So 'rising sea level' on the East coast of the UK is actually falling ground level. 3) many of the Pacific archipelagos seeing apparent sea level rise are actually built on coral reefs around a long extinct subsea volcano. Given the softness and erosion of that coral it is possible that again what is happening is ground level falling, but I cannot find any satellite data to confirm or deny this possibility. So I would suggest that more reliable independent data would be useful.

Mit Silikat refers to silicate not hygroscopic silica, they're different compounds.
