Why is it always somebody else’s fault. Your wife puts her bag on it and it’s poor design?

Built in rain shelter!

Then your car is wired up differently to a U.K. model because one press in park will put the car in accessory mode.

Is it possible you hade your foot on the brake. It might have cycled through to the accessory position.

Island of Raasay, Skye.

Yes by turning the sidelights on, the DRLs go off but I think I tried it on a US rental and it didn’t work 🙁

Touring the Scottish Highlands.

Every car goes through an annual test in Europe. If it was built with a cat it runs with a cat.

It’s not a bit of restrictive pipe, it’s a device for improving air quality the world over. Your country burning fields isn’t an excuse, it’s to help every country including yours to have better health and a better future. Many countries are burning out of control every summer. It’s for you...

Incidentally, they were negotiating prices to 2 decimal points on brake pads. We pay about £70 for a set of oem pads but they were taking them for about £1.50.xx. They have to be boxed (X4) and labelled for spares but the mark up is obscene.

It’s really disappointing and must be costing them a small fortune in warranty claims because it’s been going on for years.

I might have to eat humble pie on the heater thing. I think the price might include the heater hardware but I do remember it coming up in discussion and several of us were surprised how expensive it was. They had a breakdown of manufacturing costs in order to tell us how expensive our braking...

We’re not allowed to have remote start in Europe - it’s called quitting if we even get out with the engine running. I know Toyota and Lexus shut off when you open the door. I believe there is a safety requirement to get in before driving on those because they can move silently on battery power.

I don’t consider myself to be a tree hugger but it is something I feel quite strongly about. Glad I’m not alone in some of it 👍

I’m going to concede but you’ve missed the part where I said that it is possible to get it to hang or shut down however you want to describe it by pressing various buttons - it won’t just do it on its own. However, rebooting it is easy. I was being conservative with the estimation of how much...
