  1. Many thanks. I intend to contact them in December.
  2. Hello everyone, it appears that later this year I will be seeking an extended warranty. Considering I had a warranty repair at the 2-year service, the idea of running uncovered makes me nervous. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have. TIA
  3. The battery could still be defective, so you shouldn't rule it out just yet. Before dropping the battery, make sure it's fully charged and conduct a parasitic drain test. The condition or transfer points should also be examined, since e9x can experience corrosion and water intrusion in the battery box.

  5. Quite typical, in my opinion. It should have been noted that I attempted to activate the cruise control multiple times while traveling on the highway.
  6. The 2010 Sorento, which was manufactured in June, has a 2.2-liter gasoline-powered engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. However, there seems to be an issue with the cruise control. The dashboard displays an activation light, but the cruise control does not activate. I've heard that this could be related to the speed sensor, but I would greatly appreciate any confirmation before I begin looking for replacement parts.
  7. Indeed, I occupied the EV3 and found the vehicle quite impressive; it features an interior nearly identical to the EV2, albeit somewhat larger in all dimensions. In my opinion, the EV2 is perfectly suited for a retired couple and is comparable in size to the Stonic, being a few centimetres shorter yet slightly wider, with a marginally larger trunk and a more spacious cabin feel.
  8. I have a £16,000 trade-in; go test drive whichever car you desire afterward. It’s a truly appealing vehicle, and I appreciate its contemporary design, which seems to be ahead of its time in my opinion. I will have a home charger installed, which should reduce my fuel expenses by £700.

  10. After three years of ownership, I believe it's time for a transition; I have driven 16,000 miles during this period, and the vehicle has been completely dependable without any issues, thus I consider it an excellent car. However, circumstances evolve, and I have ordered an EV 2, hoping it will match the reliability of my Stonic.
  11. If you are able to remove the wheel, try tapping the drum lightly with a hammer or mallet; this may cause it to release. When they're picking up long-standing cars on Bangers and Cash, they do that. Please inform us of your progress 👍.
  12. It could merely have been an arbitrary activation of the warning light rather than a genuine problem with the DPF. Several years ago, during our previous Evoque (2016), the 'Check Brake Fluid' indicator remained illuminated one morning. I dedicated several minutes attempting to remove the cap from the reservoir for inspection (unsuccessfully!), but when I engaged the starter once more, the warning had vanished and did not reappear over the subsequent four years. The occurrence of a random 'Bonnet Open' alert may suggest that the Evoque's quirks are simply acting up again.
