After a bit of scratching around, it looks like they have relocated to a brand new delivery hub, fairly close by.

We paid a visit to the Trafford Centre this week. For about the last 2 - 3 years, Tesla have occupied a large section of one of the outside car parks. They have a massive stock pile of brand new cars and what looks like a good number of slightly older models, that could be X lease / PCP returns...

They may think you have something stuck to the sole of your shoes 👞 or are kicking it because it will not start !.

Witnessing this type of thing twice, does make you a bit paranoid tbh. I was recommended to ditch the OEM RCBO’s and install a better quality RCBO, so I installed a quality Garo unit. After it had been installed about 10 months, I isolated the wall box from the supply and checked for any signs...

Tbh - I rarely use the foot sensor thingy myself. I tend to just use the button on the fob to open and close the hatch. By the time you have messed about wiggling your foot around getting it to open, you just hit the fob button on your way back to the car and it’s open ready for you to load your...

100% agree with @Everest . When a high current is being drawn over a long period of time, heat is obviously generated here. Then the live contacts on fuse carrier start to become weaker and weaker over time. As soon as this starts, the deterioration is fast and very easy to over look. This is...

Remember, if you chose to reset, or NOT to reset your trips, then the figure quoted by the car is ONLY a prediction, or at best a pure guess, hence the term GOM !. This figure is arrived at by using previous historical data stored by the car, based on MANY factors like driving style, HVAC use...

Of course you are looking at the predicted range with the trips reset now Steve ?. Ambient temperature could be a factor ?.

The fiction material on the original pad's ( although not worn out ) are going to be pretty cut up by the corrosion on the disc’s. So, even if you get the discs skimmed, the pads are going to need replacing anyway. Therefore the cost of skimming vs replacing is going to be minimal. Discs and...

Tim - Do you intend to switch back to the Bridgestone tyres 🛞 for the summer, or did you sell on the original fit tyres ?.

Hard compound tyres are good for longevity, but tend to struggle on traction ( grip ) and can suffer from road noise that transmits to the cabin. Softer compound tyres are better for grip and in wet conditions. Road noise is improved, but the downside is they wear faster. I will take that all day !.

I am assuming you have the Bridgestone tyres fitted from the factory then ?. One member HAS already switched out the factory tyres 🛞 to Michelin Cross Climates instead. He reported that the new tyres, produce a LOT less road noise than the Bridgestones, and that the car now is pretty much...

Here is a quick indication to see if you have any traction battery degradation. Before you charge to 80%. Rest your the trips. With everything turned OFF. You should have a predicted range of about 211 - 212 of range.

I have to say that MG’s answer is a bit vague and not convincing or conclusive, wide open to interpretation tbh. I do agree that the items on the 1st service, will be covered again on the 2nd service. But the 2nd service includes a cabin filter which makes up a good bit of the cost. Is it worth...

Thanks for posting back !. What was the complete new bolster cover made from ?. Did he use vinyl or leather ?.
