  1. They may also be deleted directly on the head unit. UVO has not existed since 2021. Kia Connect is required. It seems that the software on the head unit has not been updated.
  2. The government website states that MOTs in Northern Ireland have been accessible online since 2017.
  3. I regret to learn of your father, my friend. Best of luck with your Evoque. 😁
  4. The type you possess determines the cost, as WD manufactures a variety of lubricants that are generally costly.
  5. Attempting to view the video results in a 404 error message.
  6. I own it on my SL, although there is no option to enable or disable it.
  7. I could provide commentary, but the adage "Glass Houses and Stones" causes me to hesitate.
  8. A friend in Liverpool had similar sounds, which were ultimately identified as originating from the harmonic balancer, at around the same mileage.
  9. Thank you everybody for your responses. Mazda UK responded and essentially indicated that they were disassociating themselves from the matter. Not covered by warranty, suggesting it was due to normal wear and use. I have had three VW Golfs before to the Mazda and two Seats before that, and I have never seen any difficulties with brake rust within the first two years. Comparable yearly mileage as well. My current and former residences are not in proximity to the sea, and while I do not accumulate a significant number of yearly miles, I use my vehicle often and with much enthusiasm when road conditions allow. I will take the vehicle for an extensive drive on many familiar winding routes and thoroughly test the brakes by progressively increasing the braking force to see the effects. Thus far, I have determined that executing forceful braking in a straight trajectory is steady and progressive, and the brakes seem to be as robust as they have ever been. It is possible that the corrosion may resolve; we will see. I must express my disappointment with Mazda's answer, which I will include into my decision when selecting my next vehicle, likely next year.
  10. Significantly pitted, with a noticeable reduction in the shining region where the brake pads make contact, particularly on the rear left side. I have been using the brakes more forcefully in recent days, however there is no discernible improvement in my vision. It is possible that Mazda may want the dealer to provide photographs of the discs if they are contemplating a warranty replacement. If the dealer has correctly characterised the problem and confirmed the need for disc replacement, the procedure should ideally go efficiently and expeditiously. If the dealer has not correctly represented the condition of the brake discs, then is a separate matter.
