  1. Like you, I've been in a similar situation at roundabouts before. Shrubbery blocked the entrance on my right, and I was about to take the first left exit. Suddenly, cars started zipping by, and the orange chevrons told me to wait until they cleared. That saved me from almost hitting a car on one occasion when the entrance was blocked and in my blind spot.
  2. They are irrelevant to your indicators 👍 and show when traffic is entering from the left or right (usually at intersections or roundabouts).

  4. For over 18 months, I have owned the EV3. Charge with an Intelligent Octopus The Ohme Epod was never a problem to control. We also have an EV2, which functions with the same level of reliability.
  5. When I replaced mine, I noticed that the part had been replaced with a one-piece unit; perhaps yours has too.
  6. There are numerous valid justifications for proceeding from your perspective. Your reasoning regarding being the second owner mirrors the thoughts I had at that moment. Conveniently recharged overnight at home using a three-pin plug. These individuals were of the Kensington and Chelsea ilk, merely utilising the hybrid BIK without concern for fuel or upkeep. My observation regarding the initial proprietors pertains solely to the tax ramifications and expenses for individuals depreciating it via the corporation, alongside the remarkably low Benefit-in-Kind rates for electric vehicles currently, in contrast to 2020 when 560Le models were sold as new. Remarkable automobiles: they exude an air of luxury, distinctly avoiding the appearance of a flattened black potato, as seen in the EQS.
  7. I would not find this agreeable! As stated by SD, I believe that exhaust analysis is included in the MOT; I recommend enquiring with your MOT center.
  8. When you replace the cap's large o ring, be careful to place it in the correct groove.
  9. In keeping with that trend, I had two young men from Eastern Europe come to look at my Boxster before I sold it. There was some faffing about, and someone even asked whether they could turn the car around. As a result, the exhaust would be located further back. Afterwards, they offered me a discount of 25% "because the car was blowing out oil." Sorry, but my autos don't have oil leaks. "Stop, the beginning."Look, "they said, there's oil on the exhaust pipe and on your driveway."Apologies, but the oil is where it is because you kids dropped it. My driveway is free of oil spots. I then instructed them to leave. The following man was just as strange. Upon arrival, he glanced over the vehicle, declined the opportunity for a test drive, and promptly paid the entire asking sum. He arrived and sold the item in only twenty minutes. The contemporary individual purchaser is a mystery to me.

  14. A few of months ago, I had Braybrooks expertly install a Pioneer sph-da77dab for £850, and it has been working well ever since. With options for Standard, Bose, and Harmon Kardon audio, as well as different versions of the command, NTG, and ancillaries (CD changer, phone, satnav, etc.) installed, it may get difficult as to what has to be added, uninstalled, or bypassed. So, you'll need to do a significant amount of study. You can find all the necessary components at InCar Tec or a similar store if you're handy; however, any 6.8-inch double-din head unit would serve as a suitable substitute for the pioneer (at least in my opinion; I must admit, I'm not that knowledgeable about vehicle audio, which is why I opted for Braybrooks). In addition to being more accessible than Braybrooks, the command staff online are well regarded. It would be wise to enquire about their capabilities in installing aftermarket head units.
  15. Very much so when I received mine! Hear it 😉
  16. My 2022 HEV (before the facelift) had headlights that I wasn't too fond of, especially the dip beam. I used Osram Nightbreaker HB3 light bulbs as a replacement. Even though they weren't at all like the HID/halogen setup on my old Saab 9-5 Aero, the noticeable difference made them tolerable.
  17. They should probably spend some time in the engine compartment if they're going to make a tonne of money.
  18. Well, they said that none of the Japanese Toyotas ever had a canbus, so that's pretty much it 😙
  19. For hours, I have been searching everywhere on Google... Nothing comes up, and I can't locate any decoders that are compatible with JDMA. So, based on the AI response above... Could the "connected" state be toggled by choosing the protocol? It seems to reason that the correct decoder would still display "connected" regardless of the protocol choice. Can someone explain this to me?
  20. I am grateful. It was determined that it was not a JPN matching decoder after trying copilot as well. Even after attempting several protocols, nothing worked...
  21. To replace the Japanese-locked device, the dealer fitted an Android one. The controls for the steering wheel and air conditioning are operational. Having said that, the canbus disconnect option is there in the device's factory settings. I understand that choosing Canbus is necessary. Since I was unsure which provider to choose, I looked through all of the options until I realised that chr was one of the models. However, the message "connected canbus" persists even after I choose it. Am I overlooking anything? Every bit of information would be helpful because I am completely new to this. Even though I used Google extensively, I still have no idea how to properly search for this new information.
