Used car sales person video. Maybe others can help. The Prce Cap from October has been announced and the Electric Tariffs will drop, and the Standing daily charge will rise. Eon Next have not decreased my tariff and have not told me they are, but i expect they will in October. They have not decreased my tariff this quarter. ? Have others had their electricity prices go down in July, August or September from their supplier? I pay the tariff from the current CAPPED price and it is near 30 pence a kWh and not 27 pence. So if you can not trust the words on that from a salesperson you take other stuff with a pinch of sea salt. Not just Table Salt from a discount supermarket. I paid £65 DD on the 1st and not showing yet on my Accounts credit. Was going to go to paying £87 a month but decided to go to £90 and somehow they dont want to increase until January. The Tariff is as a tariff is just now in my area, no drop in electricity price as he says, or politicians keep saying. It is coming though.

If they are giving mixed messages then they have not caught up on the stuff VW / Skoda UK started putting out from July 2023. Maybe read the many threads on here about them dropping the @5 years in the UK for Cam Belt replacements. Maybe avoid places where the Service Desk Staff can not actually get their info from the Master Tech, or leave you having to 'Call a friend or ask on social media. If you get a 1.0 TSI done it is not as expensive as a 1.5 TSI ACT which might get you quotes from £850 - £1,150. (There are places that have even messed up doing 1.0 TSI,s. As seen in the Fabia Mk3 section. Simple enough with the looking tool and follow the correct procedure.) Best you ask at where you might go to have the cam belt changed, see what they quote, if they have the equipment and the knowledge to do it. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/510175-karoq-cam-belt-change-start-saving-now/page/8

@Baggins Is there a higher cetane showing on a BP Ultimate diesel pump compared to the BP Diesel pump, and do BP tell you there is a higher cetane or just better cleaning properties? http://bp.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/products-and-services/bp-ultimate-fuels/bp-ultimate-diesel-with-active-technology.html ....................................... http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/452428-the-fuel-debate-to-end-all-fuel-debate @Bensupreme I know nothing about the Diesels and never used Premiums other than the odd tank to try until i did use it in in my 17 year old Diesel and the detergents have certainly made it smoke less and stink less and made it feel smoother. It only does 25 mpg-28 mpg though and hardly any miles other than for towing so the 11 pence or so a litre difference does not matter. Never felt differences with new-ish diesels, even performance ones. With Super Unleaded from Tesco (99 ron min) or Sainsbury (97 ron min) that can be the same price or cheaper than 95 unleaded from the Big Brand non Supermarket filling stations. (Texaco @ a Tesco Express is 97 ron min, but as with all of them Minimum can mean that the delivery can be of a higher octane.) As to Super Unleaded & E5, i have used it since day one in cars / engines that need it or benefit from it. Not for the detergents just for the Octane, and that was Tesco Momentum 99 when Shell was 98 ron before going back to 97 from being 98, then back to 99. It is the same base fuel imported in partnership with Greenergy that produce Momentum, and some of ESSO,s fuels. & for others. As it is the E5 is not the same around the UK for ethanol content. With the petrols i have had i want the Ethanol content, actually the more the merrier as long as the octane is higher, but bi care not a bit about detergents with a good clean engine getting used hard regularly. 388380a097b04fe693a8c27db8bb4974 (1).pdf 6ca06d648b9541e78fa838fece4a1a23 (1).pdf

The OP asked about Premium Diesel from Costco. ? Are they selling 2 diesels, standard Derv and Premium. Do they not say what is Premium about it, is it detergents or is it a higher Cetane?

What complete part, Haldex and rear differential? You need to see about mechanics repairing your car and not Fitters at a Main Dealership.

Well until we hear from experts we will not know, but on public view these people must know what they are doing. The Video guy does not know what the car is and neither do i. As to his other comments, the blind leading the blind IMO. PS We have an Ex Mariner that participates in this thread. Maybe others as well with knowledge of ships and fires and fire fighting & salvage. Under water,. not in water.

What is getting replaced at the cost of 6,000 euro? By whom?

Watched & listened again to the Ex-fire fighters words. Maybe it is a Merican thing. Casual use of language. Submerged. Well it is partially submerged, submerged is under water, completely covered, obscured. not just dunked with the windows and roof above the water. Bring in all the water you want that is a low car and the roof is taller than the tank. You need much taller tanks when the EV / PHEV / Mild Hybrid SUV,s come out of the ship.

@Graham ButcherI watched the video of unloading. Page 42 posted by @Gaz I watched a fire damaged car, i watched the skip type tank being carried on a fork lift, i heard it was water (h2o) i watched smoke. I thought WTF. The people are very close as it leaves the ship. Very close. If the wiring / cables burnt on that car. Is it just plain H2o being used in those tanks, and was it H2o in the ship, as well as other fire suppression systems. No fire fighting ships would be pumping sea water and firing that into the ship would they? I thought about the recent flooding in the USA and mention of the Salt Water damaged cars and their Fire Risk. PS If i was submerging a vehicle i would submerge it, fully under the liquid. Exclude the air. Not partially and then top up the tank. Full depth tank as used by Fire & Emergency services with EV,s in accidents.

@Graham Butcheri think we got that a long time back. Horses for courses, tools for a job, tools doing jobs. Works cars / vehicles are difference from those for Social, domestic , pleasure vehicles that are for the driver, family, friends or just transport generally. The thing is some are needing the vehicles for both, work and private use. Sales reps. or as they were 'Commercial travellers' can manage just fine. Many will not, bit for those that can then they or their employers can save loads of money. So that is a few million vehicles on UK roads. Some change their routine, or routes, or work life balance, many will hate it and have to change jobs / employers. It is what it is. A car sales person, but still valid as a vlogger. Lots of EV club drivers about, and people with EV,s as hire cars. (They seem to think they must get on an Ultra Rapid Charger, or just don't know because people hiring do not explain.) 'Most people' from him is just a stupid statement.

@classic The discussion where @Graham Butchersaid he leased it prompted me to link the vid where he was on about buying it, cost of finance. That is where he contradicts him self. Page 38 he is there with the car going in for a service and on about where he bought it, not leased, who supplied it etc. Then he is on about it is leased. In others all the rubbish about how much value it lost, how much it would cost. Not a high mileage user. Debt. Really, from a lease, driving the car costs money, speccing it up can cost more.

@RADIOTWO So the cheaper Super Market standard diesel has nothing to do with the Premium Diesel subject. I am using Gulf Super Diesel because it does make a difference over the Standard Gulf that was cheaper than Standard Asda Diesel 500 yards away. The Gulf good stuff is 11 pence a litre more expensive than the standard, but i get 2 pence a litre off with the Ooomph card.

I never asked in comments in his vids but i will if he wants to clear up if he bought it or rents it. Specced it up, financed it and has it on the never never until paid off. Or on some kind of lease. Is it a private vehicles or for business use as his company car? It says all different sorts of things which contradict each other. PS The Briskoda members vid on comparisons of fuels is all good and well. The big difference is Business Users, Commercial Users and the general tax payer / HMRC helping them have a Vehicle as a 'Work Tool', means of transport and BIK, VAT back on fueling it etc. Grants and loans & all involved with Company cars, self employed etc. A different kettle of fish from someone privately buying Petrol, Diesel, Hydrogen or electric or generating some, & employees or self employed buying and using fuels.

@RADIOTWODoes your local Asda sell standard Diesel & Premium Diesel? What is the difference in price per litre?

No idea of anyone's interests other than maybe on here vehicles so people need to decide their selves if they want to click or watch. Or with someone as obvious as the vid maker above maybe just go with the Fish and Chips videos. My favourite subject.

Facts, we love facts. but, I followed the link and all i found was i was scammed. By the Master ClickBaiter. Interesting 2nd vid though.

Broxden Park & Ride Perth EV Hub improvement still ongoing. Tesla Superchargers up above. Broxden Farm rapid chargers nearby and the Porsche Dealership chargers.

The power upping might be fine. Personally I would let sleeping dogs lay and just be happy if the ASG behaved it,s self.

Broxden park and ride had many new chargers going in and while that goes in which has been happening for months and years behind the council getting the EU funding. So they left the place with one Rapid and 4 fast chargers. As it was the rapids were more often out of service. Luckily there is the TESLA superchargers for those that can use them. Maybe once the hub opens they can open the Tesla superchargers up to non Tesla since they are so seldom used. There is the Porsche Chargers just a 1/2 mile away and I tried the Rapids down at the nice eatery beside that but paid 75 pence a kWh to get the range I needed so just £3. Balances out by now charging free before heading home. I would have used another Rapid at 35 pence a kWh if the lady had not put her Fiat 500 EV on it and it was sitting at 99% before she bothered to come back. 1 rapid charged in the town and an overstay charge after an hour and some could not care less about others and just return in 60 minutes.

The coal fired power stations in England will be getting fired up to be sure they are ready for generating enough electricity for England if needs must and those that have a high electricity usage usually will be getting paid more to use less than many pay daily for all their energy usage. Time to get fracking for gas & doing more oil extraction more local to where the high demand is for the fuels so that will be in the Southern part of the Kingdom. About time that there were fuel vouchers / allowance issued for what people might reasonably need for domestic home energy and travel use and then additional energy requirements were charged at higher tariffs, electric, gas, petrol, diesel etc. The £12.50 ULEZ is taking the pith as in you just pay a toll to drive what ever it is you drive that is non compliant. Then there is seemingly the Classic Car Market booming with people buying vehicles that are exempt due to age.

@Meridion How many months ago was that 6,000 miles ago when the MCU was replaced and how much did that cost? ? Have you no warranty on that MCU? Was it over 2 years ago, and did you get a new or refurbished MCU? http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/478852-automatic-gearbox-problems

There are quite a few Karoq wheel / tyre size change threads on here if you look.

So they got a new Karoq now with that plate on.
