Water entering the car interior through rear doors
This looks like the same issue that has plagued a number of Skoda's... Namely that the inner door skin behind the inner door trim isn't sealed against the door frame and hence water is draining between the frame and inner skin onto the top of the door seal and then into the car. The solution used to be resealing the inner door skin to the frame.

Fabia 2 - Where is the aerial amplifier?
Pretty certain it's the same / same issue

Fabia 2 - Where is the aerial amplifier?
From my experience on a MK1 fabia that issue will be the roof aerial. Water gets in over time and corroded the circuit board in the antenna base

Rob's Ur Quattro
Only one question... Why???????

Bonnet won't open
If you can pull the rusty arm with a hole in it at the top of your second picture downwards it should open as I'm pretty certain that's where the cable end was attached after passing round the black plastic guide. Might be worth spraying a bit of lubricant in there first though as it's likely rusted stiff.

New Renault 5 EV
Whilst I like the yellow the 5 comes in that matt grey in combination with those wheels and what looks like a body kit is hideous

My 2023 MINI Cooper S Level 3 Electric leased from Motability which will be with me for 3 years & now a 2021 MG5 as a dog wagon.
Where are you getting them from - is it somewhere local or national / on-line as I've started looking for All Seasons for the Kodiaq but in a 235/55/R18 100V (or above)

Transmission noise (from rear I think)
A rasping rattling noise sounds more like a heat shield issue??

the truth about electric cars
I'm currently paying 1.24 a litre and get about 40mpg from the Kodiaq so roughly £28 for 200 miles. In the swift it would be £22.50 ish for 200 miles and less if it was a motorway run. All fuel only of course

Recommend a headlight bulb H7
If it's a MK2 with projector lights a 35w London Colour HID kit works really well once coded and will pass an MOT.

Don't talk daft... We are many many years from that being reality believe me... It's part of my day job.

Stop start cuts out when car still moving forward.
Our Suzuki switch does this at anything below about 10mph but never causes an issue as it's a manual and restarts as soon as the clutch is touched. Automatics are definitely where any problems arise.

barn find felicia pickup.
TBH you've done a massive amount so far and it is starting to look car/pick-up like again!

Au revoir, my fellow Kodiaqers!
Presumably your vrs has been chopped in?

the truth about electric cars
We don't have an EV, are not on an EV tariff and are not with Octopus but also get free electricity for a couple of hours a week at the moment. I think it all depends on your supplier.

Mystery item on rear suspension
It's the sensor for the headlight levelling system.

12V battery not charging, but charging?
Was your 'black to earth' to a an earthing point on the chassis of the car or on the battery terminal? - if on the battery terminal the battery monitoring connection is bypassed and hence the car doesn't know it's being charged. Doing the former may not matter too much for a quick top-up of a slightly depleted battery but probably would for a very flat battery.

12V battery not charging, but charging?
How did you connect the charger? If it was to both battery terminals the car won't have been able to monitor the fact that the battery was being charged so may still think it's flat

the truth about electric cars
So overall the charge cost you £16... The point I was trying to make was that because you were there for so long you paid an extra £10 for two drinks... Something you probably wouldn't have done at a petrol station where you stop for 5 minutes? I wonder how many EV users account for those 'hidden' extra costs?
-
the truth about electric cars
So your 10kw actually cost you £12...

Holes in sill….both sides…same location?
