Are they the ones they had in the CTC project car? They look great.

As has been mentioned a few times it's the cornering lights function. As you slow and turn the steering wheel to turn a corner the fog light on the same side as the corner lights up to help you see the kerb and round the corner.

That bulb you arrowed is the fog / cornering light. The other outer bulb is the DRL.

To be honest it probably is a Samsung problem as they have a habit of messing with Android in their phones in such a way that it breaks certain functions... They have regular history of doing so. Personally I wouldn't buy a Samsung phone for that reason alone... Your far better off with plain unadulterated Android.

That sounds very much like the anti stall feature these engines have...

Looks to be a turbo outlet hose

At a guess it's just the hot engine and exhaust parts cooling down.

True but that's only the case if you use it without thought. I have it on the Swift and use it and my eyes... my eyes watching well ahead as well as the radar cruise control. As ever the tech can help if used as extra help rather than as a stand alone system.

Stupid question but does your car have cruise control and is it set?

If you are talking about the lower light unit under the headlight it has two lights and two separate bulbs in it. One serves as a drl and the other is a fog light. So it's perfectly possible for a drl bulb to have blown but the cornering lights, which use the fog lights, to still work.

In my experience Honda's started to go downhill with the mk 8 Civic. Great engine and futuristic design but it was let down by poor bodywork and plastics... Leading to leaks, door handles falling off, trim coming loose etc. and over complicated infotainment and dashboards. The Jazz is a bit better screwed together and the mk 10 is a bit better but they still aren't quite what they once were.

Ps re the Aircon I have a vague recollection that there is a ' hot country ' setting that can be changed in VCDS or similar to boost the output...

Welcome! Some of us in our lowly SE are even.ore wistful 🤣

Was going to say the same re my Suzuki... It's very smooth with a nice rasp when pushing on. That Peugeot 2008. Must've had something seriously amiss... Probably a knackered engine mount or a miss fire.

Excellent... Looks like a result!

Have you tried lubricating the lock mechanism? It might just be jammed / stiff.

What's under the driver alert system menu? I'd expect that to be a more likely place for it.

Try one you'll be surprised. 110bhp 126lbft plus another 4bhp and 37lbft (114bhp 163lbft total) from the hybrid part all in 960kg with all modern safety features you can think of (lane keep, autonomous braking, radar active cruise etc). Its light years ahead of the tweaked Fabia 1.9 TDI and Octavia 2.0TDIs we had

Do t be dismissive of them... Get a decent one and they are excellent. My 998cc Boosterjet Suzuki Swift hybrid is a cracking little thing, lots of tech, a comfy interior, good handling and drive, has been totally reliable and does about 50mpg round town.

My educated guess... From experience on a Kodiaq... The rear wiper seal between the arm and the glass (or similar - I'm not familiar with the Superb mk2 set up).

Yes, I saw that too... Makes you wonder what speed they were actually doing as I doubt the bus would have been speeding? Just shows that you can try what you like with speed limits and the like but it won't always make a difference as human nature, at times, will be to drive in whatever way someone wants to regardless of speed limits. On the other hand driver frustration is caused by long stretches of slow speeds or limits for no apparent reason and is known to often lead to speeding elsewhere... It's something assessed during road design.

I was an Assistant Resident Engineer on a big road scheme in Doncaster when those were introduced... None of the contractors guys knew how they were supposed to be installed so I had to find a copy of the standards and help them out. We also had to change some of the crossing layouts slightly too to meet the requirements. These days they are everywhere and instead of using precast slabs with raised bumps they often just tarmac and use a stick on rubber 'topper'.

I had one that lasted about 11 years then two in quick succession that died after a year. I went back to a standard battery. Probably my fault as they got to a low state of charge that effectively killed them as they then wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few days. No such problems with a standard one at half the price.

Noted and up to you - I wouldn't put and AGM battery on instead of a EFB - I've used AGM batteries before on other vehicles designed for AGM batteries and not had a positive experience. But your choice - I'll dip out now.

The battery is simply a 'dumb' component that supplies 12v. Your comparison is irrelevant as it's like comparing apples and oranges. It's your car so your decision but your concern is unwarranted and, in my opinion, rather strange.
