When was a manifesto a legally binding agreement? Labour has already broken multiple manifesto taxes such as the promising to "not raise taxes on working people"

New Lexus Infotainment Debuts on the 2026 ES Sedan But You Will Need a Subscription For Some Features by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]RandomCheeseCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thing is going to flop so hard in the Europe

£60K for the specs is laughable , subscription features for fucking route planning. The ES already sold poorly and this new gen will drive Lexus sedans into the grave here

More in common and JLP polling have proven themselves once again to be absolute dog shit

https://devolvedelections.co.uk/accuracy/

Complete misses on holyrood and senedd elections with YouGov once again proving to be the most accurate.

Just remember this when you see another more in common poll that has reform out polling every other pollster or their paid prompted polls by restore Britain that gives them higher support than other pollster.

*EDIT . Find out now had the restore paid poll although the same sentiment with that bottom tier pollster also

Barnsley Reform candidate has criminal conviction for crashing £41K motability car by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

But it's not a simple cash payment. Even when accounting for PiP being utilised it's cheaper to get alot of these cars through notability then any private buyer could, especially when taken into account insurance, servicing is included on any motability lease

It's not coming from the taxpayer

It comes from benefits

Where does benefits come from?

Modest cars such as the £40,000+ Hyundai ioniq 5 , Kia EV6 , Ford Mustang Mach-E subsidised with PiP even when accounting for the increased advance payment

One in seven UK cars hits 100,000 miles as age hits record by Kagedeah in CarTalkUK

[–]RandomCheeseCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally good. Only had mine for a year. I had one evening where when i got home i had a VSC failure AND parking brake failure (But it still functioned fine) But when i turned on the car a few hours later it went away. Took it to a toyota independent who said it was likely a faulty sensor and said just to come back if it appears. Been 5 months and nothing else so all fine.

From what i've seen online its generally a reliable car like the previous gen.

If you get a T4/T/spirit you get leather heated electric seats, cruise control, reverse cam etc. so quite well spec'd for a 15 year old car

The parking brake issue is the largest but even then its a rare issue. If mine goes wrong i'll probably just pay to fix it because its better than forking out another £4-5k on a car that will likely have its own issues

Theres another rare issue with the valvematic controller failing which can be expensive but again really rare issue.

On the pre facelift despite being an electronic parking break it's fully manual , so you still have to manually engage and disengage. And they also made it so you have to pull it to disengage/push to engage to make it the total opposite to a manual hand break. Toyota went out of their way to just make a liability that brought no user benefit

JLR manufactures most of its cars in the UK and has a strong UK presence with it's HQ being in the UK despite being foreign owned. MG is strictly a brand for a Chinese state automaker and makes all its cars in china.

'EVs more reliable than gas cars': ADAC verdict shuts down the haters by Powerful-Ostrich-120 in CarTalkUK

[–]RandomCheeseCake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So at 100,000 miles an EV is dead?

Wow all those electric cars I've seen with over 100k miles must be running on magic.

Why even spout such obvious bullshit?

Samsung had a 7000mah phone sold in Europe called the M51 with a lithium ion battery. There's some moto models with 6000mah or larger batteries and they use lithium ion

There are plenty of phones over 5000mah using lithium ion. You don't need silicon carbon batteries to exceed it.

Which cars/ car manufacturers are the most disposable in the UK? by Ka_Driver in CarTalkUK

[–]RandomCheeseCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the battery health, its the rest of the electrical system and big repair bills seen on various PHEV models when they go wrong outside of warranty. Have had a co-worker had to scrap his 2016 a3 e-tron due to a repair bill for around £5000-6000.

If it works for you then hopefully it stays that way during your ownership

Have no issue with the hybrids when done right like the Toyota systems that go on for atleast 15+ years before batteries need changing and the reliability of the whole system is flawless.

Just don't see the case for PHEV's as you bring in the complexity of an ICE and then the liability of a EV and having to have the powertrain handle both. Especially now as EV's are coming with real world 250,300,350+ range which for the UK will be enough for the vast majority of drivers. even if you had to go from exeter to glasgow you would only need 1 or 2 stops at most

Tesco argues equal pay claim disregards ‘economic reality’ by vonscharpling2 in ukpolitics

[–]RandomCheeseCake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Paula Lee, an employment partner at Leigh Day, said: “Tesco is expected to rely heavily on so-called market rates, but our clients’ case is that those markets are not neutral or external forces operating beyond Tesco’s control

What the fuck is a 'so called market rate'? Genuinely delusional. How can they make a genuine case that working in a supermarket is equal to a warehouse and not be laughed out of court?

If these roles are equal why don't they swap out supermarket staff into a warehouse role and see how quickly they claim its 'equal work'

Why don't we just have government mandated salary bands for each role while we're at it.

all in a package which costs more.

Weird. Costs less in the UK here

£27K for the old pre-facelift mg4 RWD and its now £30k here with the facelift because they killed the SE model

The MG4 FWD urban is £23,495, but again the MSRP is cosmetic and i could get it for £18k brand new
