If you have no joy an Automatic Traffic Counter speed survey using pneumatic tubes should be about £150 for a weeks worth of data from any one of many traffic survey companies and will pick up every vehie in that period. It'll be data that an LA will accept as fact too, unlike a DIY set up. A hand held radar gun is about £250 to buy but can be tricky to use accurately.

From memory some of the moll batteries were subject to a recall for failing early... Might be worth checking with a dealer if yours is

Interesting - I have one of those for an old Nikon F301 - think it's an SC-17 off camera TTL flash lead and it's not gone like that at all (it's an OE one but the cord is grey). If it were me I'd be tempted to unscrew the four screws shown in the picture and see what's inside / how many cable strands there are so I could replace the cable entirely. It 'should' be a pretty straightforward job TBH. Also, for reference there seem to be a few on e-bay at the moment?

Yeah - understood - I just think a lighter colour so you can actually see the wheels and see the contrast with the tyres looks better - so a metallic grey or dark silver would (IMHO) be better - but that's just my personal view.

Looks good and should be even better in the higher spec - but, personally, I still don't like black wheels... they just look unfinished to me...

He he - I've tried in both... But yep a little off topic - apologies to those wanting to talk about cambelts on Karoqs - I'll not drift any further 😀

Well it is God's own county... 🤣

Paid £1.36 yesterday for full tanks in both the Kodiaq and Swift...

Two Jazz in our family - both owned by ladies in their 80's... one a bright yellow top spec 1.2 EX auto (because 'why not?' - it replaced a breadvan Civic auto) - and the other a grey 1.2 SE manual (it replaced a Civic Tourer). They are both fine and well screwed together but a little gutless and (IMHO) have quite complicated infotainment and controls. Both owners love them though...

Does it not say in the advert - if not I'd suggest it doesn't but you should be able to use google Maps via Android Auto with a Bolero...

Bickertons, or Rainworth as they call themselves now?

In a word yes. They remain very quiet stable and grippy and after just over 10k miles don't seem to be showing too much wear. For reference I've also got Falken Zeix 310 Ecorun on the Swift and they have also proven good, and to me, are a much better tyre that the Bridgestone Ecopia that were fitted from new. I used to be a Vredestein or Michelin Cross Climate person but am very happy with the Falkens and would have them again, albeit with research first and the fact that I may go all season on the Kodiaq next time due to where we live.

If it was from a reputable company go back to them and ask for the correct file... Simples

Just thought I'd post something slightly interesting and potentially connected... I've had no TMC for what seems like a few months in the Swift but last week the messages suddenly reappeared and I did nothing to the head unit. I'm not complaining as they are working and showing in the sat nav but just made me wonder if it was connected in some way to the issues here.

Just check the other side and compare. I have. Feeling there is a slight gap on ours between bumper and fog light on both sides as I thought it strange at first but other I've looked at are the same. As you say perhaps it's the bimler that has moved or come off one of its fixings rather than the light (we had that on our Fabia ages ago but you could see Shere the bimler had moved on its fixings. Lossening a few screws etc. and pushing it back into place soon sorted it.

Yeah - I'm not a fan of that spiral entry lane though - it's a bit tight in a Kodiaq but OK in the Swift. I get the Apcoa which is somewhat rough and ready for £6.50 a day.

Yep that's it. I'm coming from the South West so not much better. I don't head straight in but go round the outer ring to the south east and then in form the direction of the station to the Apcoa car park.

In order .. All Cantab degrees used to be classed as BA or MA. No Yes but expensive And finally thats all a bit off topic.

You have my sympathy!!! I'm a born and bred Sheffielder and work in the city centre but still struggle to get to some locations given the mess the LA have made of the roads... Hope you didn't get fined (I assume the M-car is compliant?).

And a totally unnecessary jibe at me as usual... For your info drainage is different to sewage treatment. Ive done drainage, not sewage treatment and discharge.

It's been reported a number of times in the local press but through my work I've also seen local monitoring and AQ modelling data. To keep up the 'about me' I'm a Chartered Civil Engineer with a general engineering Masters from Cambridge University. I have over 33 years experience of the design and construction of projects ranging from flood defences, water supply and drainage schemes to concrete and steel structures but mostly in highway design and construction, transport planning and environmental impact assessments.

Oooh. Not sure. The Swift has that too but i can't say ive ever checked or ever had someone following me i knew who could check either...

Probably the rear fog light warning

That is slmost what my swift hybrid seems to do... Lift off and you get a bit of engine and low level regen braking, touch the brake pedal and the lights come on with a higher level of regen braking, press harder and the mechanical braking kicks in too.

Just as a quick aside to these discussions, the worst areas in Sheffield for pollution are Arundel Gate and Sheaf Street - the former as it is a main bus thoroughfare (cars only allowed in one direction due to bus gates) and the latter due to proximity to the rail station and train lines. I believe the same applies to Oxford Street in London that is bus only. The M1 speed reduction for air quality mentioned in earlier posts was a trial to see whether it had an impact - the results are still awaited but data I have seen suggests the impact has been minimal. As for the Sheffield CAZ it is quite clear from its geography and the business case that it was taken forward in preference to other options because of the money it would bring in through charges for the Local Authority - the business case shows huge dis-benefits associated with the scheme in multiple assessment criteria.
