  1. On subsequent generations of vehicles, including yours, FE oil has superseded LL04. Simply enter your vehicle's model on the Opie Oils website, and the site will return results tailored to your vehicle.
  2. I occasionally perceive the supermarket charging stations as exclusive VIP parking for life's achievers. In my experience, it is typically possible to access one, and the likelihood of your door being damaged is minimal due to the ample space. I once entered a bustling supermarket where parking was virtually nonexistent. I had no necessity for a recharge, yet I decided to seize the opportunity of the appealing EV charging spot nearby. Another advantage for the electric vehicle.
  3. Lidl GB cuts EV charging tariffs and invests £10m in hardware - electrive.com
  4. In the United Kingdom, the supermarket chain Lidl has reduced the cost of rapid electric vehicle charging for users of its Plus app and pledged an additional £10 million investment in its nationwide charging infrastructure. In the United Kingdom, the retailer has allegedly reduced its Lidl Plus charging rate from £0.62 to £0.59 per kWh. The budget supermarket asserts that the reduced rate may enable drivers to save approximately £4.41 per charging session relative to the market average, which it estimates totals around £529 annually for frequent users. Simultaneously, Lidl is augmenting its electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout the UK. It intends to allocate £10 million to the network in the ongoing fiscal year, which encompasses the installation of approximately 100 new rapid chargers at existing outlets, especially in areas lacking EV charging facilities. The retailer plans to implement fast chargers at most of its newly constructed locations as a component of its continuous growth. Richard Taylor, the chief real estate officer of Lidl GB, stated: “By augmenting our rapid charging stations, we are facilitating a straightforward and economical solution for customers to recharge during their shopping – aiding electric vehicle operators in reducing expenses and promoting more sustainable daily practices.” Lidl has been augmenting its charging infrastructure in the UK for multiple years. In 2019, the supermarket declared a £25 million investment to implement rapid chargers at more than 300 locations, while only 40 Lidl stores possessed chargers at that time. Currently, approximately one-third of Lidl GB locations provide rapid charging as a consequence. It highlights that, in contrast to other supermarket chains, it does not depend on external operators – rather, it possesses its charging stations entirely. Lidl was the inaugural supermarket to incorporate electric vehicle payments directly into its loyalty application.
  5. I am uncertain about the issues that arose, but based on my own experience, I encountered the DPF full warning only once. In a state of panic, I had my mechanic friend perform a DPF cleaning, and surprisingly, he informed me it was merely 33% full, yet he proceeded with the cleaning regardless! After 2.5 years, another acquaintance now possesses my Evoque, and there have been no further DPF alerts since.

  7. Ensure you have conducted thorough research on the vehicle, including annual oil changes not exceeding 10,000 miles, although yours may be equipped with a B57 engine rather than a N57.
  8. I am also seeking a substitute, but the process is proving challenging. The latest VW T-Roc appears to fulfilll numerous criteria and has received excellent reviews; however, its aesthetic appeal, both interior and exterior, is lacking. Moreover, the dependability of VW is not particularly impressive, although my Mazda also lacks reliability. I examined the Toyota C-HR, but opting for the 180 hp hybrid results in merely 360 L of cargo capacity. Furthermore, mid-range Toyotas possess subpar interiors, although they retained the majority of the physical controls. I would contemplate purchasing a Mazda once more if they provided a turbo option in the EU. A CX-5 equipped with a 140 hp naturally aspirated motor? I appreciate the offer, but I must decline. I am enamoured with the new Honda Super-N. I would purchase it immediately if I required an additional vehicle solely for urban use.
  9. Well, here's the update everyone was waiting for... The Volvo arrived this morning driver rang beforehand because he wanted to check where he could safely get the transporter in. Everything went smoothly and the car looks cracking. My wife has now gone from "you've definitely been scammed" to asking when she gets to drive it 🤦‍♂️
  10. Spoke with them again this morning and asked pretty much every annoying question I could think of. They were actually fine about it still haven't completely made my mind up, but I'm leaning towards going ahead Wife thinks I'm mad buying something in Belfast without seeing it !
  11. @Chrishazle did you have to pay the whole lot before the car left Belfast or was it deposit first? That's probably the part making me most uncomfortable.
  12. Belfast apparently. That's half the problem because I'm in Exeter 😂 They said I'm welcome to arrange a viewing, but realistically it's a fair trek just to look at a car
  13. Was having a browse on eBay yesterday and came across a 2021 Volvo XC60 R-Design that caught my eye. Price was quite a bit below everything else I've seen with similar mileage, so naturally I sent a message expecting there to be some sort of catch. Got a reply from Han independent selling agent saying that the car is owned by Mcerlane Logistics from Belfast Never come across them before though. Anyone actually bought a car through them or even used them for transport?
  14. Is the water in the battery compartment of the boot related in any way? It appears unusual because I am unable to determine its source.
