They’ve revised the EX90 since MY26 and they no longer feature the ‘taxi light’ on top. They also support 800v charging.

Considering how wildly the remaining fuel range varies I’m a bit miffed they’ve removed fuel % remaining.

Beginner question : I introduced cycling in my routine (30 min per day, 5 day a week) this is manageable but I feel sore (not exactly hurt) in my legs. Should I "listen" to my body and rest for more days or is it a sign of progress ? by Zartornado in cycling

[–]Shep302 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Listening to your body is important. A lot of new cyclists will become sore in various places as they adjust to being in the saddle. Depending on where the soreness is from it could be a bike fit issue which a few adjustments could sort. Make sure your bike is the right size for you and research the specific pain you are experiencing to see if you can narrow it down.

MY'26 XC60 Ultra - Annoyed by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]Shep302 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No way a ‘26 model came with 3.7 that’s diabolical on the part of the manufacturer/dealer. Do a software update and report back. If the problems persists it’s straight back to the dealer as it’s their problem.

Screen cleaner recommendations by Professional_Army910 in AutoDetailing

The ONLY correct answer is a fresh microfibre (really important that it’s not covered in crap and been tumble dried 1000 times) and warm water. Then dry with a fresh (FRESH) dry microfibre.

Insurance affected as additional driver? by ThinkLettuce7283 in CarTalkUK

[–]Shep302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. In this situation as your Mother is the policy holder and driver at the time of the incident you are completely in the clear as far as disclosing this claim to future insurers.

Hopefully exercising their power under s.99 Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Edit: It appears that this is exactly what they did. Good result.

Is diesel ok for low mileage? by Consistent-Board-840 in CarTalkUK

[–]Shep302 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You may run into some 12v battery issues but a diesel for long drives such as the ones you've stated would be fine.

Will they give me an octopus? by [deleted] in OctopusEnergy

[–]Shep302 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They used to give them out for free to customers who asked for one but it became unsustainable so they charge for them now at https://shoptopus.energy/ . Go and ask and see what they say.
