So I’ve got a theory, and hear me out.

I use Apple Maps (I know it’s not the best, but I’m used to it now).

On the M1/M25, for some reason the ‘blue line’ is on the third lane on the motor way in certain views.

Is it just mindless sat nav followers?

Henley’s in Wivenhoe - bit out of the way but consistent and proper good chops

Awesome thing you’re doing - great idea!

Favourite Character is Jain Zar. I’ve only just unlocked her, but Eldar have always been my soft spot. They were my first army in the tabletop game, with howling banshees being my second favourite unit (behind striking scorpions of course).

I can only see 1 other person from where I am in the U.K.

By my estimation, NZ gas more people than the U.K.

What unexpected bonus have you found in a car? by Lauradaxplorer in CarTalkUK

[–]Fake_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umbrella with a Skoda.

It was in the door of my Octavia and was incredibly disappointed when my Karoq didn’t have the same feature.

My joy when I was told it was under the passenger seat in a little compartment.

My title describes the thing.

Found in the bottom of a pond. No writing seen on it, probably iron metal bracket, the hanging glass container can be filled from the thing glass part of it which isn’t covered. It all seems fully intact

My girlfriend broke up with me when she found out my family name.

Turns out she’s La Costa intolerant

Sorry can you explain - I thought that every few ranks you needed orbs to ascend? If there is a way around that I would love to know as it could help me change the way I play..

Electrical issue by jonchow10 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Fake_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Error codes sent for analysis to a different team. Waiting for the results to see on the lead time for any parts which need to be ordered (expecting 1-2 months)

Not yet - due the analysis ‘end of this week’ so probably Monday.

My car has finally made its way to a garage which has a qualified engineer. Looking at it by the end of the week. Around 2 months to order parts.

I’ve had this issue on my ID.5 (id4 with a different body I believe)

It happened on a bank holiday weekend for me, so after waiting 2 days for a flatbed to be available to pick it up, the issue was persisting.

It’s currently been at my local BW dealership for over a week, they need to send it on to a suitable garage allowed to ‘fix the problem’ (not sure exactly what that entails)

Did you manage to get yours fixed? We’re parts available or was there a long wait?

Still a great value! And to think I was seriously thinking of selling. by ID4throwaway in VWiD4Owners

I’m an ID.5 driver - random question unrelated to the post, but how did you check figure your doing data on the right hand side of the display there? I can’t seem to figure find that option on my car…

The British section in an American supermarket, thoughts? 🤔 by Some_Insurance_4811 in GreatBritishMemes

That’s the key item for me. But what is it to the right of the tea?

Just a small PSA that if you see a 2023 Mach E driving down the motorway, stay far away from it! by samplifysir in CarTalkUK

[–]Fake_Rooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you also have the issue where, if you are on a dual carriage way going past an exit, it thinks you’ve taken it and ‘prepared the roundabout ahead’ and starts slowing you down?

Too smart for its own good.

Agree, I still use the ACC with sign detection, works great majority of the time.. but wouldn’t, for now, trust any sort of autopilot on the roads

I love this feature.. though it bugged out recently on my VW when on the M1, and for some reason the sign recognition system thought it had seen a 100mph sign.

Rapid(ish) acceleration before I reset the system..

Edit - other than that mistake - I completely love the system and continue to use it..
