I am at one year old shortly and have had no issue with original Skoda wipers so far. Clean screen perfectly with no noise? Do you keep your car in a garage? I find that it's sunlight that causes wipers to degrade. My car is parked outside, and the original ones were starting to get a bit juddery a...

We changed from Octopus Go to Intelligent a month or so ago. The extra couple of hours of off-peak, plus getting off-peak rate whenever you plug the car in (often during the afternoon or mid-evening) does make a difference, as if you time it right, you can be cooking your evening meal using off-peak...

I seem to remember this was asked a few years ago - and the best solution was to simply create a new page with just one small icon on it and slide over to that rather than your main page. At least as the software was back then, it wasn't possible to have the big analogue clock on the screen with the...

No. Not sure I'd want it to either, as the detection of the key being left inside the car isn't always accurate.

The reason as I understand it is that the Mach-E has a Mustang badge is more down to internal politics and processes within Ford USA than it being a performance model. Mustang was split off as a separate company when Ford USA was undergoing financial issues, and so doesn't have the huge overheads of...

To be fair, my wife's 2008 VW Caravelle sometimes sets the alarm off if there's anything in the OBD port drawing power. It's generally not really meant to be used for anything other that actually acquiring diagnostic codes, although of course you can get a lot more information from it when the car i...

Be interesting to see if they change the design of the wheels or covers before I trade in my Sportline for a vRS in a couple of years.
