No thank god given we've just done a 3.5hr journey in it and have two more full days in it...

In my dreams...

Ooh - you've just reminded me I was going to try and resurrect an old laptop and a couple of EeePC 901's using a light version of Linux...

OK - not an overseas hire but one in the UK for work. Doing some site visits down a lot of country lanes, involving parking on verges etc. on a project where we have been told not to use our own cars - so asked for a manual compact SUV... What did I get...???

Ah - so it appears KGM is the new name for Ssangyong...

Bugger - looks like I still need to wait another 10 years for my MX5 to be free of VED...

Pretty certain that is a recess to store a warning triangle should you have one

All 1.5tsi have ACT

Sounds like a battery issue - it may have had a cell give up in the cold meaning the voltage is low and the car is preventing stop start to try and charge it? I'd get the battery load tested.

I think it's Camioneta which basically means 'van'... So guessing it's some form of commer camper conversion

If it's any consolation I have a similar issue with a Mk1 Kodiaq at a particular location - I also reckon it's to do with interference - either from stray current from a tram system at that locations, or from a nearby communications mast at the same location. It can take some time for it to get itself sorted...

No. As above you'll go through the fold at that point so would either need to take more off and build it back up or bodge it for a short length with seam sealer or similar.

Exactly... The big issues being raised over pylons is generally impacts to views and why not go underground or in the sea. Both are generally considerably more expensive, with underground causing similar impacts during construction but over the long term being less visually intrusive once the construction swathe has been restored. Personally I don't find pylons that bad visually and don't think the T pylons are much better... but then I don't live in a very rural location with open views like most of the objectors do... Some of the objections are very 'overplayed' though and some seem to be tin foil hat bat**** crazy too!

It the whole route from Tilbury to Norwich... There are lots of beauty spots and National Landscapes etc. Many better than in the west of the country...

It's interesting to read this thread - I'm keeping out of commenting as some of the posts appear to demonstrate how much of an isolated bubble world some people live in that appears to be slightly disconnected from reality and full of unconscious and confirmation bias.

Isn't the fix here the usual vag one whereby the permanent live and switched live simply need to be swapped over in the connector as vag vehicles have them reversed compared to others?

And some of the Koreans too for new models I understand - it seems that only the 'premium' marques are sticking withy touch screens for now (Mercedes for example).

Maybe give Volks Tek on Callywhite Lane in Dronfield a call... They may be able to help for a few beer tokens

I just thought "it's Lady E so it's got to be prestige of some sort" and it was the only 4x4 type thing I could think of that has a 'halfords' roof spoiler... 🤣)

Mercedes AMG GLA 45 S 4matic+ ???

I reckon she's back to a Vitara...

Yep found that and that works great too. Device update and button functions tweaked already 😃

Last update for me here .. I ended up with an AAWireless Two and it works perfectly, unlike the Ottocast. I'll be passing the latter on to AN other.

That's similar to what I did with mine albeit I used some foam packing I had available to hold it all in place when I closed the hatch

Private buyers tend to look at total cost of having the car be that over a set periods or outright and try and keep it as low as possible.
