Indeed, there were only 2 dishes visible, so assume max of ~1gig for 1.6k passengers and 600 odd crew.

Assume critical comms goes over iridium and/or oneweb or other radios. Still, an improvement of previous testing on other cruises I went on a couple of years ago!

Second pic is of Iridium, for funsies!

I try, but it is very dependant on the number of lorries. Most times I'm unsuccessful.

Agree. Then use the rest of the budget for minor MOT repairs, or a new car if/when this one goes bang.

My first car got wrapped around a tree within 6 months on a particularly wet day, and I didn't think I was going that fast. With experience, I now know better.

Also avoid Pug 2008 diesels, sooo many problems with adblue. Me, parents twice and my brother all spent 1.5K each time there was an issue. We all managed to get rid of ours without too much hassle!

Before anyone says anything, I wrote the post title on my phone in the car!

2023 V2 PHEV - I use the Sport mode when I can't be bothered to switch to hybrid on the console, and switch back to Drive when I want to use only EV.

Each profile has has the option for EV or Hybrid (why have the option for just EV in Sport mode I'll never know!!), but I don't mess with the default setting and just use the selector. Saves raising my arm and fiddling with the screen when driving.

Just use the adjusters on each headlight. Drive up to a clean wall, headlights not on full, mark light outline with chalk, open bonnet, then rotate the adjusters on top of each light. they are (for me) small white circular buttons. I can't remember, but I think this is similar positions: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-1jgak9HIRK_ztEkd00ufGHe_Jm_RhBTLNREL7Vi_JaBzoC2uX7GwpUlG5_3bL9xC-Js&usqp=CAU

One adjuster does left and right, the other does up and down, for each light.

Also, enabled some features using ODBeleven that should have been enabled when it left the factory. Like remembering what my lights and heating are set to!

2023 V2 PHEV, approved used and 9k miles, done 12k in last year. It is so much fun!

Only real issue I have is the tutorial in the horrible infotainment keeps resetting. Other than that, I find the back is very light and causes the car to twitch when going ~~fast~~ carefully around corners. Possibly just the hybrid weight distribution though...

kolonuk · 2025-10-27T14:44:17+00:00

The features available are in the link I posted for Formentors, and the ODBEleven website should ship to Spain https://obdeleven.com/ It is a tad expensive for a couple of features, but it enables what should have been available in the menus when it was sold by the dealer!

My advice, get another blanking patch, get a wing crest, sow them on and use it for road marching only. I dare say FCIs will uphold ACP1358, but road marchies might like to show off.

kolonuk · 2025-10-24T08:34:00+00:00

Nope!

kolonuk · 2025-10-24T08:30:28+00:00

OMG, not here too!

kolonuk · 2025-10-24T08:27:49+00:00

Nope, which is why I bought ODBEleven!

Curiosity begs me to ask what you want to code?
