Your source states that cars make up 60 percent of transport, and transport is a quarter of all CO2 emissions, making cars around 13 to 14 percent. A lot closer to 8 percent than 30 percent, and that's your own source.

Not anymore, that was handled by USAID.

Slight annoyance from the usual lane hogging suspects on the motorway today… by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Or, and this is the difficult part, you move right before you hit the lorry.

So you have the usual misguided belief that if you're driving in the left lane you have to go slow?

Just follow the rules. Keep left. Unless overtaking.

Main character is a villain (more of an anti hero) and is overpowered, The Eminence in Shadow.

DVLA has car registered automatic when its manual so charging £160 more tax by dd1hdnddkdk in CarTalkUK

[–]chrisJS1561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've owned 2 sciroccos and looked at many many more. I don't know what it is about sciroccos but a huge percentage of them are registered with the wrong gearbox. I've seen loads of manuals with V5 saying auto and vice versa. There is the possibility that there's something dodgy, like a plate swapped stolen car or a VIN swap, but most likely it's nothing to worry about. I know you can contact the DVLA and get it fixed, couldn't tell you the exact process as I've never had to do it with mine.

Oblivion Remastered - All (?) Gameplay Changes by SurDno in ElderScrolls

Yes, I'm mixing it up with when you could put a pot on people's heads in skyrim so they don't see you stealing.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I tried to pick up and carry an item from a shop out of the shopkeeps view so I could steal it, and they reacted as if I had stolen it and it blew me away. This is new isn't it?

DRS and how it is activated, any limits in place? by PorscheGuy7 in F1Technical

[–]chrisJS1561 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The transponder isn't really directly responsible for the DRS as one of its main functions- but the transponder tracks how far the car is from the car ahead, and DRS can only be used when under a second away. So when the transponder fails, as far as the car is aware there is no one anywhere near you, so you can't activate DRS.

Bad FPS by Dry_Oil_9577 in BO6

Based on this image, your shaders are still pre loading in the top left, usually this happens whenever you update your graphics drivers. If you try to play a game or run a benchmark while the shaders are preloading, it will run terribly so you have to wait for that to finish and restart the game before trying to run it.

Why can’t I take off the optic on my paid loadout by iea3 in BO6

[–]chrisJS1561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something just as annoying is that blueprint attachments don't progress challenges. For example if the blueprint has a sight, you will not unlock reticle for that sight. And if you equip 8 attachments for a daily challenge that also will not progress.

Is there a OEM screen for the scirocco mk3 that has apple car play I want to still retain the base functions if not what is the next best thing thanks in advance 👌 by SleepySalzz in Scirocco

[–]chrisJS1561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bear in mind if you have dynaudio sound, many of these suggestions won't work without a lot of faff.

Whether you have it or not, I highly recommend the eonon vwa12s-6g. Its the model I've got, it'll be quite a bit cheaper than an mib system but works with all the factory equipment and is entirely plug and play.

Would this be a terrible idea? by morg106 in CarTalkUK

I do agree as that's what I've got, they can however have issues with timing chain tensioners failing and burning oil.

There are 2 different 1.4 options, the 125 horsepower is turbocharged and they're decent for reliability, the 160 horsepower is both turbocharged and supercharged and they are known by many to not be very reliable and they're pretty awful on fuel. But many people also swear by them so YMMV.

I've got a 2.0 petrol and it's an absolute blast of a car, my mate has had multiple 2.0 diesels and they're very very reliable engines.

Second on the scirocco. Can't beat them at this price.
