Mention it before the car goes in for a service. As in let the service desk people know there is an issue needs addressing and what that is.

Hyundai could turn out a pick-up or a van out of these cyber looking cars. I have yet to see one of these with passengers in the back or even a passenger in the front, but that is pretty common for many big cars that are for occasional transport for more than a driver. Lots of big battery and heavy cars truck about just as rep mobiles or commuter transportation.

But just changing tyres for a different make on the same size wheels can make a difference. As can a simple change of tyre pressure to suit the load carried. Then increasing the steering assist or decreasing can, to suit tyres fitted. Maybe skittery eco type ditch finders.

??? Why was the DSG serviced. Was it faulty then or did the Dealership staff wrongly say it was required?

@okaneloWelcome. No oil change was due at the 30k service on the DQ200 7 speed twin dry clutch DSG, if that was what was done. Best sort out the electrics on the car / engine before having anything done to the DSG, ? Did your 2013 DSG get service campaign '34H5' carried out on it any time after 2017? This was a software update on ones from 2013-2015. Carried out free. ............... When people do change the oil in a DQ200 because they want to then there are 2 oils to change, in the box and in the MCU. This is different from the wet clutch DSG which has the same oil doing the job.

@mccriricki am not sure that the AC is affecting the MPG of the 1.4 TSI when on, it might be more affecting what you are looking at on the display for Average MPG. The AC was not in operation when the Ambient temp was at 3*oC or below even if a little light showed it was. If the PHEV has the engine fired up and using more petrol enough to bother you with AC on then do just switch it off if that does not mean the windows are fogging up and the damp / moisture is getting retained in the car.

Later ones as in was it the CTHE coming in when the DRL on / off switch was deleted?

@domhnall£800,000 was not all they got just a small part of it. As it is the New Low Carbon Transport Hub is going up at the outskirts of Perth with the Hydrogen production and filling facilities and also EV charging. Houses as well. These housing projects and local authority / common good land use should expect developers to be putting some of their financing into public charging and not just charging as the properties being built / sold. Dundee City Council managed very well to advance the EV facilities using EU and UK funding and from Holyrood. If the books balance this financial year and into the future for other public facilities for those that have no cars and just public transport and need libraries, learning and sports centres then good. The Public Charging hubs from commercial concerns are appearing at a charging cost to the public of them just running and economic ICE vehicle. PS Open a Cafe or some kind of eatery and take the cost of ingredients & suppies purchased and overheads, building, staff, utilities and it used to be that you aimed for a 60% per portion / meal made over these costs. kWh being paid for electricity is near double what the cost of it is to those providing it at charger and the general public are paying the 20% VAT and not claiming it back. Yes infrastructure is expensive and might take years until a profit is made. But then those investing are getting the tax breaks / assistance from the Government / tax payers, and if they have lots of customers and the resale of electricity the profits come. Then lets remember the taxes paid on profits are after nice payments to The Management', the nice offices, the perks and the overheads and costs, including their managements expenses and travel, and of course Lawyers, Consultants, Accountants etc etc. Everyone gets a nice little earner before the taxes get to the Treasury. http://boydbrothers.co.uk/service/ev-chargers http://swarco.com

Dead simple for UK cars with MPH speed restrictions is buttons. Like gear selector buttons, or like a F1 Grand Prix car for the pit lane. Instead of all the Sh!te there is on the steering wheels, or touch screens, at the finger tips a 20MPH, 30, mph, 40 MPH button to hit. Or as is coming with the New Tech and already here, GPS / Sat Nav / Speed recognition, an Automatic Max Speed in a 20, 30 or 40 mph even 50 mph when not a NSL road. You have to press the over-ride button if you need to go over the speed limit and each action is logged, just incase you cause an accident while over the posted speed.

You will not have got passed these that are the Gate Keepers. You want a Skoda UK Resolution Manager who are just as Deaf, Dumb and Blind selectively and never know anything because they act using the same Hot Desk system, sign out at the end of sift and memory wiped. The VW Group way.

Cambelt failure is not high on the list of things that go wrong with VW Group components where ever the procure them from. Water Pumps, timing belt and chain tensioners, door and hatch seals are common components that VW group co-ck up the buying of or fitting to vehicles. Since about for ever really. Well since the went water cooled. Das Auto. Vorsprung Durch Technik.

@J.R. Some of us that are disabled get sick feed up of those that assume if not in a Invalid Carriage you might not be disabled or have a disabled passenger, or have a Blue badge/ That is not Disabled bays, it is Children in cars type parking. People with children i vehicles might well need the doors wide open to get them in and out child seats and buckled in. .................... This is the Disabled Parking bays. These are not Chelsea Tractors, just an actual tractor and vehicles as you might see in a market town in a rural area.

I have seen a few of these Ineos Grenadier,s now and all with all the option bits and personal plates on them. Maybe like in the picture of the LR above, about posing more than the need of a rough tough working 4x4. This one i like in being basic and on the right tyres and very likely to do the job they were designed and engineered to do.

I think more likely a journalist / editor has a random picture of a car in water.

Surely (Shirley) not. Or maybe the article that was posted about it in the EV section has a picture of the wrong car as seemingly the insurance settled £19,000 for it being written off.

^^^ Did the company really beat Rolls Royce to building EV,s or others that have already build a Rolls Royce EV? Rolls Royce must be going to keep producing ICE vehicles between 2035 & 2040 for export to countries without a ban on Registering new ICE vehicles which there will be plenty of around the world, before they produce only EV,s by 2040. They seem very good at predicting into the future or just had to say something so they said what the article reports they say. ....................... So much water that it De-badged the car! ? What model of car is it that the Insurance Company were failing to have uplifted and a repairer deal with? The settlement figure of £19,000 has since been paid out on it.

A Mail Order only company had to work out of somewhere, a unit or industrial site or whatever, even someones house or shed / garage. Many farm addresses are long since anything to do with working farms. You can just use Trust Pilot and Social Media posts etc. But then Marketing & Sales knows how to make things look bigger than the might, but then when you can visit places you can see for yourself. Use a Credit Card and have the protection that gives you more than the low amount a Debit Card does.

The truth about electric cars, or just a spin on them maybe, and enough Anti- VW stories about while VW Group spend spend spend on advertising.

The electric busses seem to be doing rather well on routes between cities in Scotland and in the cities. https://ember.to Stagecoach West are expanding their All-Electric Bus routes in Ayrshire. & there is more.

Hope you and yours are well. So the Side Lights are still working which is good. Maybe @UrbanPanzercan help as to why they are not coming on as DRL,s. Maybe it is that switch not working. (Personally as you can maybe guess i would be chuffed they are not on and people thinking you have on Fog lights.)

WTF is it with Volkswagen Group and teasing and predicting the economy and the technology a year or 3 off. If they can build and sell them then best get on with it and sort the cars they have already sold with fundamental design, manufacturing and material / hardware / software faults. Getting them built in China is likely the only way they will sort out the stuff they can not.
