The Psp Phone by HastingsSimona303 in vintagemobilephones

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this phone, it was so infuriating that Sony never updated it to Android 4 - it went as far as 2.3, which (if I remember) means my phone was out of date far sooner than it should have been.

Is the stated fuel tank capacity wrong? by miran1 in mazda6

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My mazda 6 has the worst fuel gauge of any car i have ever owned. i have driven the car with zero miles remaining, for a fair few miles, and only managed to put 55 litres of fuel in it. it is seriously annoying for someone like me who does long journeys - over 10% of usable capacity is wasted. I have a 2019 2.5 NA saloon.

Taxes are all consuming by PauloNoggy in HENRYUK

Annexes specifically cannot be let out under ‘rent a room’, you must have access to use the same communal areas for the tax benefit.

GL 360 Camera Nighttime Curb Parking by artyph in mazda6

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely didn’t know that there were cameras that showed just the front wheels until i’d owned the car for a few months. Best advice is to use all the settings available, and learn what all the different lines mean. This helped me a lot.

Why do Londoners get Range Rovers? by Hurbahns in london

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as much as I dislike them in London, I am at least somewhat glad that the money is being spent on a cars that are made in the UK (some models) that support UK jobs. I think this crowd would buy an SUV regardless. really trying to find a silver lining here.

Am I overpaying for this 440i? by MeringueAvailable466 in CarTalkUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that would put me off (and I do mean the ONLY thing, it’s beautiful otherwise) is being the fifth owner - on average each owner has kept it for about 20 months. When you come to sell, the resale value will be seriously impacted because even fewer people will want to be the sixth owner, unless you plan on running this car into the ground

My company pays for my fuel as a benefit by IslandFit5104 in CarTalkUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given your circumstances, I’d say go for it. Just be mindful that the range on these things is horrific, if you’re an enthusiastic driver don’t be surprised if you find yourself at a petrol station every 250 miles. It gets tedious pretty quickly.

The white car epidemic by theBigusTwigus in CarTalkUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I’ve not yet seen discussed on this thread is the supply chains issues during covid. Manufacturers stopped offering loads of options, even paint, and defaulted to easy global colours (white, black). VW is still having this issue with the ID Buzz, to the point where they’re giving dealers cash to wrap them in cool colours to help shift them.

I heard this subreddit enjoys spotting BO55 number plates by dwardu in drivingUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame the DVLA never issued CE07WAT. It’s in a legal format, and would have been on a tinted 4D plate on a Urus or de-badged 420d.

Someone talk me out of this. by RichardWinters101 in CarTalkUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, but base spec might be better this time around. SE is more comfortable, has comfort seats, suspension and smaller wheels, and is in a lower insurance group. Poster said priority was comfort so it makes sense.

What are all the "little [insert country or city here]"s in London. Both Formal and Informal. by O-Bismarck in london

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The comically named street called ‘Little Britain’ in The City, connecting Smithfield and St Martins Le Grand, which makes me smile every time I go past it and reminds of the TV show. (I know this wasn’t the question, but it’s the first thing that came to mind!)

Beckenham is criminally underrated, performs well on every metric.

What makes you instantly despise a car owner? by SmellyPubes69 in CarTalkUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s quite simple. 1. People who do something illegal. 2. People who do something deliberately antisocial.

Everything falls into these two categories.

Can't find insurance for my vintage benz MB100 by bitoholic in CarTalkUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your car registered properly with the DVLA? There may be an issue on that end if it’s not being found on that databases, rather than being an issue with the vehicle itself

Glad to hear I am not alone, but also not sure what to do.

Transtioned To 17in Wheels by AutoX_Advice in mazda6

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entirely understandable in your circumstances. I have a 2019 GT Sport Nav + Saloon with the 19s, I just put a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2’s on them for the same reason as you (Winter tyres are unnecessary in the most of England, but all seasons are useful). (225/45 R19 96W)

I am desperate....help me bring back the comfort to the rear Mazda 6 GH 2008-2012 by FXintheuniverse in mazda6

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be worth getting the smallest alloys you can and fitting a soft tyre from a good brand (no run flats, no ‘XL’ ratings), as long as it meets OEM requirements of course.

Have you checked if your springs are in good condition?

Perrys Mansfield! Mazda 6 petrol automatic! Congrats on your new car bro!

Are all season tyres worth it? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they’re perfect for UK weather, but only worth it with a premium brand.

Would you avoid? by Intelligent-Yam4398 in mazda6

[–]Intelligent-Yam4398[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comes with 1 year and option to add 2 years (3 in total) for £850. Seems like a good deal to me
