Slamming any physical structure into another introduces some damage eventually, however immaterial. I would say not having soft-close introduces more wear overal irrespective of how you intentionally ... |

On my last renewal with Direct Line, the cost shot up several hundred pounds. It was still cheaper than other quotes, however. When I tried to change my details (like playing with job title) the site ... |

Yes, if you have an In Control subscription you can pre-heat the car using either petrol engine or the the pack. But the car cannot be asleep so must have been used in the last few days. |

When I ordered a Sport many moons ago I wanted white but my wife vetoed it. When pristine I think this really pops. In practice, a grey looks better more often. I went for Nara Bronze, a lifestyle co ... |

I have park assist but I never use it. It’s a pain to engage and does not bring much to the party. It’s a lovely idea but not huge value in practice. Don’t move the earth to retrofit this unles ... |

I have preconditioning and I often use it. The wee fuel burning heater uses less petrol. But more than that, for me, is that the remote options do not work if the car has been sat for a few days becau ... |

It’s always going to be cheaper in the long run to take out these plans, mainly because you protect against inflation. The dealer wins because they have guaranteed up front business. Everyone is hap ... |

Some specification s are in such short supply that perhaps the spec you want is unavailable so they are just shifting order numbers around to ensure they can supply (and get paid for) cars in a suitab ... |

By 3D I mean Meridian Signature 1700 or whatever it is. That is what I have. I have just realised 3D might be offered on other systems. |

Having the 3D Meridian now, I could not move to a standard system. In-car, switching from 3D to 2D is like having your ears cut off and I’d never get over knowing that, I’d rather wait. T ... |

I have seen this too, most often when using slow-mo domestic charging. Using a 7kw charger this phenomenon only lasts maybe 29 minutes. Regardless, I’ve not found any practical issues with this, itâ ... |

The P400e tank is pressurised which apparently solves the fuel ageing issue. But I also only use 99 fuel… this high ethanol fuel is performantly inferior by definition so I’d rather pay extra. |

The most my fatty P400e has taken has been 81.75 litres. I did not record the miles left on the trip computer but given that is highly subjective, and liable to err on the side of caution, and the fac ... |

As a P400e owner of 2 years nearly, 8500 miles, I have had many electronic gremlins with the screens, but to a lesser extent. No issues with ventilation, b ... |
