Sorry mate, been ages since I did this. Best as I remember once the bottom is loose you start lifting it from there gently but firmly back and forth and some of the top bits will start to loosen up enough to get a spudger in. I think I started from one side (closer to the centre of the car)...

Just a warning with ABRP, the timings it gives can often be extremely optimistic, at least in my experience. Be sure to budget some extra time. And if you're presumably driving the A9 into Inverness from the south, please note the signs with 50 and a little lorry (truck) picture don't apply to...

High energy density battery tech is still relatively new. Petrol/diesel isn't going to become less flammable in future, it's kind of necessary for it to be flammable, but batteries can become safer and certainly seems like some of the newer tech will be, but isn't mainstream yet.

I thought the reverse beep sound had been replaced in the last few years because it is hard to locate the source (and also it's very annoying) and now an air pressure release type sound is being used.

Don't need to tell me, I'm actively trying to escape the Central Belt :)

Many of the more scenic touristy areas of Scotland don't really have anything in terms of rapid charging beyond 50kw. As an example once you're past Inverness on the NC500 you'll be stuck with what you can find, which is usually CPS and 50kw at best. Many of their 50kw chargers deliver less...

I see Brora has been pushed back to end of 2023 as well. Can't say I'm surprised as I've seen no progress whatsoever. Would've thought they'd try to get it in for the summer NC500 tourist rush. Looking forward to the complaints about CPS. We could definitely use something around Keith/Elgin...

Cheers for this, will double check if it has been reset during an update, that'd explain why it has gone nuts of late.

Yes, for me seems it has gotten worse with recent updates. Most recently I got one for swerving gently over to the side of the road towards some parked cars to let a car going the opposite way have some more space to go past - it was very convinced I was about to hit a parked car quite some...

It's not unusual for the 12v socket in ICE cars to go up to 15v when the car is running cold and can go well above that if being jumped. Generally anything designed for the socket will have a bit of leeway because of this and generally should be able to run between 9 and 16v safely with...

I had no issues paying with HSBC UK last year, as davyjohns said above used sort and account no. The app whinged it couldn't confirm the recipient details but I confirmed and payments went through fine. As above did a test payment of £100 then a few more to reach the total.

I have an Android phone - it seems most of the time the phone needs to be unlocked for the car to unlock. I had assumed that's some sort of peculiarity with my particular phone but maybe not. The smart indicators thing works well about 95% the time for me. Obviously not going to work that...

I seem to have spent a lot of money just to be a troll. Would love to see a non-celebrity CEO - apparently awaiting his Kanye moment currently. No more BS pie-in-the-sky product announcements (eg. Cybertruck, the robot thing, FSD), focus on making the cars nicer to drive, continuously...

They are hidden all along the top of it. The plastic plugs hold in the bottom. You can check my other posts in this thread - basically gentle wiggling from the loose part until you get some gaps to get a spudger into.

Is this not a thing that sometimes happens during an update, as in the headlights will re-level based on whatever you are parked on? In my case since my driveway is a downward slope, it'll be fun. I'd be surprised if they adjusted it across the board, since you can adjust them manually. I've...
