the truth about electric cars
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.

the truth about electric cars
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)

Coolant real temperature
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

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

the truth about electric cars
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.

Domestic charging points - A new social dividing line?
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...

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

Upgrading Halogen Reflector Headlamps to LED
That seem a strange change - so older headlight units that probably have a less well defined beam pattern due to their reflector and lens design can be converted to LED bit not newer ones?? Or am I reading hat sentence incorrectly

Hmmm... I'm not sure we're there just yet...

Rob's Ur Quattro
I was trying to work out what the strange bonnet mascot was in that last picture then realised it was a reflection of the garage door opener...

Changing timing belt on an 1.4 TSI ACT engine
Are they actual cracks as they look like the belt material weave showing
-
Changing timing belt on an 1.4 TSI ACT engine
No... There are 1.4ACT engines in the Superb and Kodiaq up to 2018.

Tailgate rubber
I replaced it because I thought it was the cause of a leak... It wasn't... That turned out to be something else.

The latter would normally be called price gouging and would be investigated in other businesses

Restoring grey trim on a scout
If you are going to try this test a very small patch in an unseen place first as I think you'll find it'll go whitish over time. It actually looks like that's what's caused the problem to start with.

Tailgate rubber
I got one for our old octavia estate from this website... The link below is for a hatch https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/1z5827705a-5th-door-seal-genuine-part-17823.html

Restoring grey trim on a scout
I never used anything on our Octavia but, after trying a number of other products I did use GTechniq C4 on two Honda Civics and various other vehicles and have just bought a bottle for use on our Kodiaq. It worked an absolute treat on the Civic's plastic trim and restored the finish completely and lasted a few years until they were sold.

Super iV 2022 - How to remove the instant consumtion from the display?
Hi @VioMee what @Gaz is saying is that the section of the forum you posted in is not for specific questions about cars - it's for how to use the forum itself. You need to post in the relevant Superb section to get your answer and Gaz has therefore flagged your query to the moderators to get the post relocated to the correct Superb section. Regarding your question I'd assume it is similar to other Skoda vehicles and you simply need to use the right hand scroll wheel on the steering wheel to change what is displayed?

Internal movement sensor and auto locking
If you turn it off it only disabled the setting for one lock cycle. As soon as you unlock and open a door again it resets. So you opening and closing it will have reset it... Hence the dog setting it off.

Guess the Hire Car.... Mac's 2019 game
I'd have been back to the hire company on that... A T-cross is nowhere near the same size as a Tucson... Its from the size sector below.

Are we about to have the pay per mile system intoduced after all?
That are cameras... They record an image so anything on that image is available to them. The ANPR bit is post-processing of the image to identify and extract the number plate. How did you think they worked???

Happy to be here.
Broken clips are not uncommon - repair kits and replacement clips are available on ebay for less than £10 if you're handy at DIY.

Additional boot lights in Superb estate
On our Kodiaq I've added a stick on LED strip to the underside of the load cover with a small connector wired in to the left hand boot light. It works great and because of the connector the load cover is still removable. It needs a bit of fettling to tidy it up as the current set up was a proof of concept but it's easy and quick to do.

Sold: 4x Kodiaq / VW Tiguan mk2 winter wheels with Continental TS850p winter tyres (5.5-6mm)
You might want to add a price and wheel and tyre size?

octavia 2.0 tdi DSG 2024, front right side melted?!?!?
Oh believe me they do... and I've seen them make / suggest things that are even more daft
