Sadly a young lad of 24 died in Loch Doon at the weekend while camping there. http://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-60900634

@yeleek Are they not paying you the Dealerships hourly rate? Cheeky barstewards. The next service done Free Gratis is the minimum that should be expected from them. ? What was the actual Warranty work that was done and do you know the cost of the work that was done under the warranty? Was this a Manufacturers Warranty or an Extended one? guide-to-approved-used-and-all-in-warranty-audit.pdf

@bubib5If that is the case in the UK then the OP's insurance company will be wanting to know that because the Proposal for insurance will have 'Factory Fitted Alarm and immobiliser' as part of standard spec. (No tracker fitted.)

5w 30 FS III or if you want 0w 30 FS III to VW 504 00 / 507 00. About the age of your TSI & later than yours has 0w 20 FS IV as the recommended oil by VW / Skoda VW508 00 / 509 00

April is when it is time to open my supplements that my years supply was bought when on offer earlier in the year.

@PopalzaiWelcome. Worth mentioning what engine / gearbox your car has and how many Miles / km it has done and have you had the car long.

VFM, which even the new Mk4 Fabia is not and no Estate available.

Another excellent informative video from a Briskoda member.

Manufacturing and exporting delays are to be expected. http://bbc.co.uk/news/business-60761107 EDIT, It is supposedly only for 2 days that Tesla suspended production at the Shanghai factory.

They certainly work, each time i turned the corner to the street the car was parked on i thought that car has blank reg plate, then the numbers appeared, just! The other one a see is and Audi S3. I wish they would pull the muppets with 2 laser like WHITE (sh1te) reg plate lights shining back at you.
-
There are smoked finish ones that make the plate letters / numbers invisible from an angle and maybe ANPR's. The Focus RS near me that had them no longer has them, maybe nabbed for them.

Service Manuals from 2010 have on the page for the 5th annual service that the Alarm Siren is due for replacement. 12 years later there are cars still on the original. There are cars where people have replaced the unit and some just the battery in the siren. ? When you are locking the car are you sure you are activating the alarm? If that requires a 2 button push. No idea if it does.

The lady doing your wages and taking off what you used from the garage was told they were ones that some idiot had stamped the holes in the wrong place.

@nta16 Square plates were cool then or so we thought, and we made up square plates where i worked and as with everything else when you have no money you beg borrow or steal. Boys on tour @ the Linn on Dee, Mar Lodge back in the day when camping at the old Canadian Logging Camp was free for all and long before the NTS got it. I must off hopped off to take the picture.

I grabbed 12 months fixed at 28 pence a kWh with Eon Next but will not charge at home even to preheat plugged in while the council charger 1/2 a mile away is 23 pence a kWh. (that will go up, and used them once since they started charging last year.) I stop and charge free in Perth on the way home where plenty new chargers are being installed. That can not stay free though. Pity the likes of Stirling Park & Ride has 70 chargers and only 4 are 50 kWh ones and not all always working or blocked by BEV's on the 22 kW AC. Perth is getting better CPS provision and next to the 12 Tesla Chargers that Tesla drivers often will not use while the CPS are free. It is a pity CPS can not allow TESLA Drivers charging free on Superchargers. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

It is just i know many of those charging and they have home or workplace chargers but they are happy to just abandon the car all day or overnight to get free charging. Others like me might top up and if someone needs to charge just move on and charge later. That is the joy of lots of time available and being tight but not ignorant and greedy. PS I waste my time on the internet and am charging my phone and tablet. I would be doing the same in a house or somewhere else. (I do pop into the supermarket and pick up my reduced price fruit etc, sometimes i have a bit of a walk or cycle as i have a bike in the car.) Many are doing their work while charging, arranging meetings and doing orders etc as they are 'Commercial Travellers' Business users etc. They used to drive ICE Vehicles and still had to do the work online or in hard copy. They are happy to tell you what their company 'Executive Car' or Light Commercial vehicle used to cost in fuel and tax and what their EV's cost in comparison.

Location location location makes a difference to what suits people and their particular circumstances. EV's do need a lifestyle change for many, or they might be fine with them as their life,work balance suits. Some have plenty time to travel and not money to spend on petrol and diesel or the UK tax payers help with them having an EV to get about in cheaply.
-
I was there today charging i do most days for maybe 20-40 minutes occasionally 1 hour, i see hybrids that are there for hours and hours. I have done 24,000 miles in 18 months for under £100 paid in cards and electric using mostly free Charge Place Scotland Chargers and since locally my council are charging free PodPoint. (I have been paying at PodPoint 50kW chargers recently because CPS & BP Polar have been pathetic in Scotland) I see it all happening.

Customer Services is contracted out. Ar53 and elbow comes to mind.

Eventually i found the picture of my Cortina i did a full respray on in 1978 and wrote off not that much later. LOL at the free tat fitted, wiper deflectors to keep them down at speed, door protectors, AA / RAC badges or is it 2 X AA of which i was not a member.
-
Pita is public charges that are 7/22 kW AC and 50-100 DC and hybrids are blocking the bay for hours. But then Muppets in BEV,s will also plug into a AC 22kW and get only 6.6 kWh charging.
-
You are charging publicly on slow chargers in your hybrid, so really that is no comparison with longer trips in an BEV. I take it you are not a business user then. Just a private driver. I am surprised you fell for the hybrid kidology. You can indeed get 60 mpg with a TDI or other diesels. That is not what it is all year round if doing only 15 miles a day each way. So what needs looking at is what the average is over the year with the type of use the TDI is doing. I got 63 mpg on trips and 25: mpg the weeks I was around home doing 5- 10 miles a day. PS several times a month I do 450 miles a day by EV. My own one is not efficient so 1 hour extra is needed for every 150 miles to charge. But in more efficient ev,s that is not the case and I get away with one or 2 30 minute charging stops. PPS no way do you need to pay 69 pence to Ionity, but plenty business users might occasionally wanting on a 350 kW charger. But then the BIK is rather a nice saving they have.
-
@ERIK99 What sort of miles do you do daily or weekly that has you considering getting a diesel and puts you off having an EV? 300 miles in an EV getting 3 miles to a kWh even if paying 50 pence a kWh on a 100 kWh public charger is £50. 3.5 miles to a kWh then £42.85 300 miles with 3 miles to a kWh getting the electric @ 28 pence a kWh is £28.00 (Home standard tariff) getting 3.5 miles per kWh then £24. 300 miles getting 45 mpg and fuel at £7.70 a gallon is £51.33.

The cars including the ones with a DSG perform perfectly well with the wheel / tyre circumference difference. Cars with 6 or 7 gears that use them all at UK NSL's of 60 or 70 mph yet can do double that speed but do not need to or might never get taken over 100 mph. The thing with numbers on tyre walls is run a tape measure around the tyres circumference and see the difference from one set of tyres to the next rather than going by a comparison table. & measure a new set of fitted tyres against the size of the ones being taken off and get a proper comparison. @Carlston what you drive yourself is still a mystery, is it still the Mk1 Fabia estate on small steel wheels and narrow tyres? For 3 years now my nose has bothered me as to what country you are in and what cars it is you personally drive. You certainly know your way around the components and the scores on the doors but do you drive anything with wheels bigger than 15"?

Reads as though just the filter replaced with what cost maybe £36. Plus the Insurance rip off of £1.33.
