  1. I can only assume it’s Android specific, works fine on my iPhone. Is the web portal ok for your car/account? If so, perhaps reset the app or reinstall it.
  2. I certainly agree the 20mph limit needed reverting on some (many?) of the roads. But what annoyed me was the reported rationale for changing back was [paraphrased] ‘it shows we are listening’. Never a mention of ‘we got it wrong’.
  3. That’s why I never played football 😉
  4. I had the rear roof lights turning themselves on and off, any time of day or night but only noticeable after dark; very distracting like you say. The solution was the dealer replaced the unit under warranty.
  5. IMO that one belongs in ‘what annoyed you today?’
  6. I feel your pain - literally! I'm 6'4" and the shed door is less than 6'. Guess what I just did... 🙄
  7. MS 13ANG Fiat 500 with young lady driver. The 1 & 3 very close together, the mind boggles…
  8. Yes, mine is on the 17” wheels; it was a dealer car I bought at 6 months after first registration. No extras over and above the first edition bits though☹️
  9. Blimey, Y rated tyres are up to 186mph! My SE L FE came with a more realistic V rated tyres (149mph).
  10. Disagree. The biggest problem with our bread maker is the bread is too damned nice - I'm eating way too much! 🤣 Next biggest is the paddle...
  11. Or connect the iPhone to the car before turning on the ignition.
  12. Have you tried connecting with a cable in the Octavia? What the car displays within CarPlay is determined by the software in the car infotainment system. It could be that some of the apps are no longer permitted (perhaps something like YouTube video) hence the Octavia doesn't show them whereas the older Fabia does. If all else fails, try posting on the Apple support community pages - https://discussions.apple.com/welcome You'll probably need to sign in with your Apple ID.
  13. Thanks, that’s a good option. Keep forgetting about Screwfix as they’re tucked away round a corner or three. I found a local-ish plumbing supplies place which had really good stock and incredibly helpful people too. A rare find these days.
  14. B & Q website. A few little DIY jobs to be done; I know, I’ll nip down to B & Q; before I go, I’ll have a look at what I need and see if it’s in stock. Hmmm… Most of the stuff I want is “Available online only and not stocked in B&Q stores” Grrr….
  15. The loan SE First Edition I ran for five months (and 8k miles) in 2021 had a Swing unit. Zero issues. No idea on version numbers though, sorry.
