Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

aren't the heaters meant to be a bit rubbish on S1s? Nope. Better than S2 / S3 in my experience. But the 4 x face level vents in S3 are very good for warming hands on the wheel. Temperature to feet is lukewarm I find. S1 was better. 2023, surely modern heated clothing is the future. Sent from my iP...

Put All Seasons on the wagon last year, silly 35 & 30 profiles. Taking 2 weeks to get matching Vredsteins from Germany.

Yeah, it's a slow burner - 500W I think - ain't gonna hit 90° unless it's in a vacuum :-). It struggles to maintain 18° if the rest of the house isn't heated!
Just double the voltage going to it, bosh. I should not really be having to teach you this Robin.

Re: Leccy cars

Think I might end up with Octopus. Not by choice like. They just bought Shell Energy I believe. [emoji848] That would be amusing - I just ditched Shell for Octopus and am disputing my final bill with Shell - I wonder if that will now ever be resolved ;-) I plan to move to whatever their dynamic tar...

Re: Leccy cars

Ive just moved to Intelligent Octopus which gives us 7.5p charging from 23:30 - 05:30 but, unlike others i looked at doesn't then load the daytime tariff. Looking at EDF etc before it was never worth it for us. The best bit is you link octopus to your car's app and it then works out a charging sche...

Aye Ferg - they're not short. Apart from Harris lol

I found it to be brilliant but became a bit samey, some form of 911 and Range Rover all too often were in the answers. Yawn.
The last one was a Defender and and a Nomad!

Quite enjoying the Collecting Cars car buying challenges. Perhaps it needs a thread split.

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

Interesting to hear the real-life views on all-seasons. I did read (and think it’s maybe already been mentioned in this thread) that all-seasons actually suit a typical British winter better than full M+S tyres. I do like to change the wheels in the winter, just for a different look and to get the ...
