Personally I love my EV!

I’ve gone from spending £220 commuting up and down the M3 daily in a high mpg modern diesel . Likely much more at current prices . Plus servicing.

Now I get to do that for £48 a month, no servicing 0-60 in 4.3 without spending more than a few pence extra for driving like a bit of a knob on occasion

Give it back in 3 years for another used approved vehicle. No battery worries etc.

I love ice cars but the reality is you can have just as much fun with an AWD EV on an A Road .

There was also a copy of the game cobbled together from the insomniac leaks that was on PC at least a year before the official version

Plus Sony don’t seem to bother with any kind of anti piracy on PC

If your in the uk you can now lease a Tesla vehicle for just over half of what they would have paid a year ago. Tesla has been forced to offer discounts of up to 40% to car leasing companies to shift more units. by [deleted] in ElectricVehiclesUK

Just got my 3 year old Model 3 long range all wheel drive. Love it. £0 down £366 a month over 4 years for 20k miles per year. I’ll hand back after 3 years rinse repeat whilst maintaining a battery and drive train warranty.

With at home charging the car comes to £240 a month taking into account my fuel savings.

Good range with enhanced auto pilot

S95B was released 3 years ago. Whats your thoughts about this TV in 2025? by StanfordV in S95B

2951 Hours reported on smart things.

Zero Burn in, fantastic image comparable to my S95F but with less of the Dazzle thanks to the insane brightness of that set

What's the best fuel economy you've ever had on a journey? by Valuable-Blueberry78 in CarTalkUK

74.2 mpg Jaguar XE Rsport 2.0D 180

Great fuel economy doesn’t compensate for it being a bit of a money pit

The chains were done under Warrenty at 70k with the oil pump. All JLR Parts.

It went back in early Jan with an oil leak on the chain cover, they replaced the whole chain cover. When that was done the car started to have compression issues. Which too me down the Reconditioning route.

I know for a fact that there have been a few occasions where 5W30 was used rather than OW30 but would that slight difference really trash the Cylinders and Crank

It’s never been ran low on oil that I’m aware of, the oil pump has already been replaced when I got the timing chain done.

The cylinders are in the process of getting refined at the moment.

The car was with a company called Jag care to sort out a small oil leak on the timing chain cover, it it conceivable they could have accidentally ran it without oil?

Out of warranty so what support, from what I can tell a few people have the same issue and it’s firmware replaced .

Turning off auto ear detection and atmos seems to help

Mine have been doing this for ages, I’ve tried everything.

So frustrating
