    Cabin overheat protection - limited to 12 hours.

    In case you were't aware (I wasn't) the cabin overheat protection only runs for 12 hours. Saw mine kick in for the first time in a while yesterday when the temp reached 38 - apparently the ceiling is 40 degrees. Wrongly assumed it would be working today (even hotter in balmy Manchester today)...

    Tyre pressure reduced due to hot weather?

    Has anyone notice the 'cold' tyre pressure having fallen a few PSI recently? Mine all seem to have dropped by about 3 PSI and I'm wondering if it might possibly be a result of prolonged very hot temperatures? My car lives outside and is in full sun much of the time (one of the drawbacks of...

    Ceramic coating recommendations near Manchester/Cheshire please?

    As the collection date for my new car gets nearer, and having read many threads on the subject, I am becoming more inclined towards the benefits of ceramic coating.

    Timer charging restricted to 16A?

    Having recently signed up to Octopus Go I have just started using timed charging to take advantage of the lower rate between 00.30 and 04.30. The problem is though, that whenever the timed charging starts, it only ever runs at 16A, not the 32A I would normally get if I just plugged the car into...

    'Spare' plug in driver's door?

    I have just replaced a door mirror in my 2015 70D which seems fine but the doors no longer want to lock? I took the door panel off and checked all the connections were good and they seemed to be, but there is one white plug I can't find a home for? Does anyone have an idea where this wants to...

    Are pre/post facelift door mirrors all the same?

    I have been daft enough to catch a gatepost while reversing and caught the mirror on the RH side door. It looks like the underside chrome/plastic is split and will need replacing. The body coloured cover is also a little scratched but I can live with that for the time being. The pic below is...

    Non-Tesla recommendations for 2nd cheaper EV

    I have been looking for a suitable car for my wife (yep, fair swap, I know...), for under around £25k. Doesn't need to have a massive range but 150m or better would help sell the idea. No particular 'must haves' but something with a degree of practicality and a little style wouldn't go amiss...

    It seems the free network offered by GMEV is to be taken over by Amey and will become chargeable. Amey state "Our aim is to enable Greater Manchester to develop into one of the largest and greenest regional economies in Europe." Shame its not 'green' enough as a free service then. Amey to...

    Best way to reattach chrome trim?

    The chrome trim at the rear quarter panel on my car keeps coming loose behind the rear passenger door window and I'm not sure what the best way to reattach it is - any suggestions please? I have tried using double sided tape which seems to hold for a few days but then gets loose again. I'm...
