That's fair enough... I just recon people on here would be genuinely interested as not judgemental etc. (wellost of us anyway...) Either way it's your choice that is to be respected. Cheers!!

Nice to see you back... It would be great to see some of your more recent adventures...

Good... Test results for some hybrids have always been daft. Hardly more nails in the coffin of ICE vehicles though... That's just hyperbole...

I'd be checking air filter and spark plugs plus boost hoses for leaks etc, followed by a check for binding brakes for starters. I'd then try and get a full vcds or similar scan done.

I'd get the car checked out if I were you... With that performance and mpg it sounds like something is wrong...

Hi George... You've read the OPs post incorrectly. It's a 2.0tsi detuned to 140kw. https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-reviews/2022-skoda-octavia-140tsi-limited-edition-review

Sounds like the typical sticking shroud within the water pump. It seems to be a common fault on some.

Osram make LED retrofit dro ins that are road legal in various European countries but that legality hasn't been replicated here in the UK so they can't be legally used here yet.

As above this is a ban on sales only, not used... So nothing to be worried about... It's just poorly worded scaremongering journalism.

Why should there be... There's a more limited EV charging market than for petrol stations and let's be honest you'd be a pretty sad individual to take your car out to charge it on Christmas day!!!

Dealer bull****...

Sounds like there's an issue with the battery or the battery contacts if there's no red light when you press the button. Have you checked there's no protection film on the batteries and that the battery contacts are clean and actually contacting the battery? If not give them a rub and bend them out a but to make sure?

On low spec models that's how they work... The inner section on the boot lid doesn't light up.

ONLY at times of SERIOUSLY REDUCED visibility - ie below 100m...

That would be for a rear incandescent fog light IIRC...

Don't know where you are getting that idea from but wherever it is it's a load of tosh and rubbish - there is no such legal requirement! It may be 'recommended' by various motoring organisations but is not a requirement and these days with LED lighting it's pointless anyway. As for LED bulbs in fog lights - please don't and please don't use them as additional lighting unless it is indeed foggy - to do so WOULD be bad, cause glare to other road users and would be against the highway code as they should only be used when visibility is restricted and below 100m.

I think the consensus previously was getting someone in the car to spray the lights so you can grab the extended washer nozzle. You should then able to clip on the new cover

What's the issue with it... Why do you think it's no good?

At 56mph on the motorway you'd be a hazard and dangerous to other road users - and create a lot of congestion as wagons try to overtake you.

Ah... but you have to remember that, on the face of it based on his posts, as far as he's concerned it IS all about him, his mileage rates and money... it seems to be all he ever posts about... (well... that and salary sacrifice and how much he puts into his pension each month)

Probably... I have the Torque Lite app on my phone and have used it with a Cheap ELM327 Obd dongle before now for displaying live data. You can add dials and displays to the phone screen to show the data whilst driving and one of them is coolant temperature provided the vehicle has the relevant sensor If you have an Android headunit it could even potentially be installed on that

I was thinking a bit of an homage to Bristol and their spare wheel location.

It's the same in many places... Lots of flats and high rise blocks going up in many cities with zero parking provision. Pretty much everything here in Sheffield in or near the city centre that has got planning approval is the same, with zero or very minimal parking provision. Not an issue if occupiers are prepared to use public transport and the latter is good but, unlike London it isn't because we don't get anywhere near the funding per capita London gets.

Really??!! I think that's your south east home counties viewpoint showing there... As there's lots of old terraced stone housing in rural villages north of Luton...

So... as I said... I'm not sure WE're there yet... As always, worth reading things properly before posting slightly derogatory responses...
