ABS Pump problem
With all those different errors it sounds more like a battery issue to me - have you had the battery checked and load tested as they are quite sensitive to batteries starting to fail.

I'm only a few miles from Ladybower and Howden and it's tanking it down again so fingers crossed eh? Attached is one taken there from earlier this year... The water should be visible in the background but it was too low given the drought

MY66 Octavia - Cracking Dunlop Sportmaxx Tyres
Just for reference I've been running Falken tyres for the last 5 years or so with no issues at all on both the Kodiaq and the Swift. I'd have had them again on the Kodiaq but spotted a good deal on Goodyear Vector 4 Season this week so am trying them instead. I'll be using Falken again in the future though and also probably Vredestein as I ran them for nearly 10 years on our old Octavia and Civic.

Broken door grab handle
Hi @Graham Butcher I think I know what you mean - the flat 'plate' end of the handle that fastens to the door card has come away from the rest of the handle? If so, then it looks like there are various internal reinforcing 'webs' within the hand section - as shown in the photos. My approach would therefore be to make up an addition L-shaped plate to fit inside the handle section, one leg of which could be attached to those webs within the handle section and the other to the flat 'plate' end that has come away. The approach taken on the pdf document can then be used to re-affix the handle to the card.

Broken door grab handle
Kodiaq door handle.pdfAs far as I know it's 9nly available as a full door card but is an easy fix... If you remove the top of the handle and the card from the door a small nut, bolt and washer will do the job... https://www.kodiaqforums.co.uk/threads/broken-handle.4109/#post-33938

the truth about electric cars
BUT... the same approach will apply equally to any type of vehicle, be that ICE or EV. SO the margin of error is largely uniform across vehicle types. You seem to be implying that the trade ONLY applies that approach to EVs so the EV figure is wrong and the ICE figure is correct? The simple fact is that manufacturers get punished if they miss EV targets etc., hence there is more incentive for them to over-egg EV sales figures to artificially inflate EV 'sales' by pre-registering and SORNing...

the truth about electric cars
There will be a lot of cars registered but SORN on an airfield somewhere and not sold. That's the difference between the SMMT figures and the registered and taxed figures. Have a look on autotrader and there are stack of delivery miles vehicles available. Last time I looked there were about 79 Elroq vrs as an example and I'm sure there will be similar of other makes models and powertrains

the truth about electric cars
Indeed it could have been ironic but you never can tell given some of the inaccuracies and rubbish he spouts... It could easily be something he believes he has evidence of. Re outflow temps... Yes absolutely... Which is the issue colleagues have experienced necessitating new larger radiators and additional insulation and draught proofing... As well as permanent running of the heat pump... But they still have issues.

the truth about electric cars
Eh?? Evidence please Also as an aside... The experience of colleagues who have switched to heat pumps from gas has not been good... With them citing cold houses and much higher bills added to the high cost of installation

How to secure a wheelchair!?
In that case I'd buy some automotive lashing rings or grab handles and screw them into the rigid trim in the boot to allow me to tie things securely to them. I have some aftermarket 'mushrooms' in my Suzuki that are similar and came with a cargo net and they are more than sturdy enough to do the job.

He he .. my 'arts degree' was Engineering... Of all types... I've probably forgotten more than you've learnt from your multiple jobs. Ps I never said the system was 100% perfect but even at 85 to 95% you'd struggle to smell the fumes and as you imply Anyhow onwards and upwards eh?

the truth about electric cars
Those gases aren't actually released into the atmosphere... they area recirculated back to the storage tanks via a vacuum system incorporated into the filler nozzle. You really need to stop making things up, or at least do some research.
