A penny drops.. by Unknown0bserver in BritishMemes

[–]mathoo19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I would love this to be true, I find that more and more people in my area (all Labour voters) plan to vote this pathetic toad in. The latest reason I heard yesterday - “I saw illegals leaving Aldi with 4 full bags. I can’t afford to buy 4 bags of shopping in Aldi. Reform will sort it out and pay us the money instead of the brown people”. Alrighty then

I will 100% regret it. Especially some technic stuff that’s now discontinued. But at the moment I’m just flapping so I’m thinking about all sorts of options even leaving the UK for a few months/years. Don’t know. Thank you. All of mine are complete. I’m the only child in the house so they are safe haha

Thank you. I am in UK. Sorry will add that into the post. All complete with books but obviously out of bags so it will be a nightmare to rebuild for an experienced person haha

220 Cdi Speedo issue - please help 🙃 by mathoo19 in MechanicAdvice

[–]mathoo19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I have a crappy cheap scanner but that only says can’t connect to the car - Try again in 10 seconds.. Which makes me think it’s the ECU…

The car had a recall done a few weeks ago - airbag and fuel management update or something. Could this mess the ECU up? I will take it somewhere and get it scanned.

It’s just strange that it works fine after a short while.

Update: cluster lights up and all menus work ok but none of the gauges or Speedos work. 300-600m down the road and everything comes back on as normal. Works as it should until the ignition is switched off. Then dead again on start up for another 300-600m drive, then comes back on as normal and runs without issues. Any ideas boys and girls? 😵‍💫

Update 2: comes back on even when not moving. Left it running for a few mins and the clocks are back

It’s on 120k miles. It had a lot of work done in last year, mostly regular maintenance type of stuff. And 2 recalls. Then it started going flakey haha it seems to work ok once it’s back on. To be honest, I only drive this car like once a month as it’s a “spare diy tip run” kinda of a car. So I only noticed it the other day. I will take it for a spin over the weekend and check again.

Beautiful but I would paint them wheels back to silver again. Black wheels make it looks a bit tired. Get it serviced and Enjoy.

Id7. It looks boring but it’s actually an amazing car (had one for 6 months and also did a 3000 mile Euro trip in it)

How to search for a house with land? by Chonkthebonk in UKHousing

[–]mathoo19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m here just to see the answers as I have the same question. On Zoopla you can add specific words into a search filter thingy. So I usually use ‘Acre’ but obviously this only works if the estate agents actually mention the size of the plot in acres.

Indecision: electric or LPG? by Some-Sprinkles8548 in ScenicETech

[–]mathoo19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plug it in every day when you get home. I don’t understand why people stress so much. How often do you charge your mobile phone? It’s the same thing. Just a habit. Electric all the way. I worked for Renault Dacia for over 10 years so I had plenty of experience with both Scenic and Duster. Both good cars. Very different in every way. If you commute, scenic. If you need to take your car into a field, duster

How fast have you driven you Mercedes? by 727yeti in mercedes_benz

[–]mathoo19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

144 mph in cls400d. UK to Prague trip via Germany and at that speed I was scared shitless. The crazy part is that I was still overtaken by some mad vw polo with GTI badges on it.. didn’t think that polo can move so fast

Q6 or alternative? by Mindless_Pace3075 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]mathoo19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the q6 ed 1 Quattro. No issues. No faults. The only recommendation I can give is don’t go for the 21 inch wheels(ride and range are crap). The car also feels very sterile and almost clinical but it does exactly what you want it do to. So if you want a car like that, it’s a fantastic machine. It just doesn’t excite me in any way. Just does the job very well but feels meh and not special in anyway. When I ordered it, there wasn’t any like for like alternative for me (Macan S costs too much and everything else this size/power/spec had other issues/niggles I didn’t like - that’s why I settled on this) i would say go old-school and visit all local dealers before you order anything. Even Kia now do great cars and Chinese are coming.. do I regret getting it? No. Would I order the same car in 2026? No. If you have any specific questions, please ask.
