I would be pricing up new discs and getting them on. Not just chipping the edge off of those i see in the picture, ? What does the inner side look like?

There are a higher percentage of people getting an EV on the Orkneys per population than elsewhere, and in Scotland compared to regions in the RofUK. There are authorities and organisations getting ready to buy or lease maybe their 2nd or 3rd fleet of vehicles. Lots of used are going into the trade again this year from ones that were rented out cheaply / loaned during the Covid years. Those that own cars might actually hold onto them if they really can not get a good sale price or trade in and the car is suiting their needs. Time will tell how it really goes and as for spin from the SMMT or whoever that is how they operate. Loads and loads of Ev,s oop north, that is in northern bit of the UK, not the north of England which is not far north in the scheme of things. & that includes very new registered ones & not just demonstrators.

You will find plenty threads or posts on Briskoda. Various causes.

Motability are certainly trying to make them look good with the low advance payments, that comes from the low cost to them from the manufacturers and the chargers installed where they can if they can. Anyway, what does it matter to anyone that does not want a BEV? Unless they might want one really and are looking forward to 'Much Cheapness'. They are going to have to punt them somehow, first register them, lease / rent them cheaply.

@Andre1984 Do you mean it had an Oil & Inspection service & the year before that and the Extended Scope? Or was that a 2nd Variable / Flexible Service. ? Are you saying the spark plugs have not been replaced then? So no idea how they are looking.

Heid yins of various manufacturers importers wanting grants again for plug in's. The Government not going to cut the VAT on Public Charging. Even wealthy people with an understanding of money on the likes of Wake Up to Money on Radio 4 have lost half the value of a new Sporty BEV. There are now Porsche Taycans available for £40,000 grand. Senior citizens having to check if they have tax to pay or a bill coming because of a little increase in income. The Government could not give a monkeys, they are jumping ship anyway from front line politics and have nice new jobs lined up. The Manufacturers & Dealerships need to be using area of land they have to get more chargers in and get the Zero Emissions cars at the prices to sell or lease because if not they will be missing the percentage of first registrations and paying huge penalties. The kidology of Partners that had BEV,s built and selling to get the Fleet Average Emissions has not helped them now. There are still shortages of some of the electric cars people actually do want to drive.

@Andre1984 Did the car get new spark plugs in 2023 at a service or at 40,000 miles?. (Misfires, not enough to log a fault code maybe, but have the EPC light on.)

On ITV4 @ 20.00-21.00 tonight 24th April 2024. Highlights from the British Rally Championship 2024 round 2. Rallynuts Severn Valley Stages. Gravel Stages.

It does not slip the clutch to keep the revs up. It is a dsg. As to disengaging before stopping, it might be coasting before stopping. some will turn the engine off before stopping, and the 1.5 TSI ACT might well be in 2 cylinder mode as you roll on forward until actually stopped and the brake pedal pushed. Then Stop / Start if not switched off, Autohold on vehicles with an e-brake.

£280. But i have Ray-Bans that had retail prices at half that but were bought during sales. Worth every penny IMO. The glasses / frames of just Ray-bans are not. Really very handy but so far i have not found how to put the pictures across to e-mails but to WhatsApp, Facebook and that kind of socials is easy but not what i want to do. A 'Twisted' 90 taken using the specs. "Hey Meta" take a picture. or "Hey Meta video.

Did you actually have a Stamped up book, and did you have the car from new, or was it stamped up from the time of the PDI as it was 2013 or so the last ones were put in the UK Skoda. The invoices and receipts for your servicing from now on will be a nice record for any future owner.

Yes, sorry Average life expectancy men and women. My BIL,s granny was the oldest lady in Scotland at 113. I had Long lived Aunties on my dads side. Among my Mum & Dads friends nearly all the men all died in their 70,s & the women lived on another 20 years or more, a few are alive but not to my mums age.

Re. Life Expectancy & the long lived and new expected to keep working longer guff. Maybe those born in the 1950,s can remember this thread if they reach 100 years old. Maybe the youngsters here born around the time of the Millennium might be around to wish them many happy returns. My Mum is 99, my Aunties were long lived and so were a few of my Uncles, but they were from the North East of Scotland and had war time diets but Scottish Wartime in the northeast where there was plenty. My mum moved there from Edinburgh when in her early 20,s. He brothers and uncles, cousins etc dies young, but then they worked in the mines or on the railways. My Grandad died on his way home from his last day at work after handing back his lorry. Dies at Powderhall at the greyhound racing. Issue for those born after the war by a couple of decades has been sugar, and processed food, and there were all the chimneys for factories and much else. Leaded Petrol and Diesel and what else happened in the UK a world of plenty. Lets those that are alive by 2050 decide if the scientist were correct on the life expectancy. My Granny & Granddad had 13 children and only 1 died young as 12 year old with a carbuncle then the infection. Here they are with their children, partners and their children. 1953. Grandad back Left with glasses. Carter /Haulier, Coalman, as my uncles were when young. My Mum and Dad married at the end of the war.
