  1. Nonetheless, a V5C was issued in August of this year, suggesting that someone may be preparing to restore it or consign it to the banger track.
  2. https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/VehicleFound?locale=en
  3. Registered in Norfolk in September 1966 and untaxed since December 1980, indicating an extended period of inactivity.
  4. I possess a handbook and have never observed this.
  5. After encountering multiple instances of rapid chargers failing to connect and supply power to our Niro 4+, we faced the humiliation of requiring assistance from the RAC to be transported to a charging station that would connect (Type 2, not CCS). Despite Kia's purported service agreement with the RAC, which claims to provide an exceptional rescue service for electric vehicles stranded due to power depletion, including on-board charging capabilities for minor top-ups to reach the nearest charging station, our experience did not meet these expectations. The RAC patrolman from a franchised garage possessed less knowledge of electric vehicles than we did, which is minimal, and lacked the expertise to properly load our car into a low loader, thus abandoning us upon arrival at a Type 2 charging station. Anything but "a Kia/RAC unparalleled rescue service." Are there any other experiences, preferably favourable, that could reinforce my confidence in this guarantee, or any statements from Kia that could sustain my trust in the recent acquisition of our Kia 4+ EV?
  6. I opted for an economical choice and purchased a piece of indoor-outdoor carpeting that had sufficient texture to prevent items from slipping. It is also readily removable for dusting my camping equipment.
  7. I could listen to my M57 all day. 200,000 and still delicious.
  8. The eBay promotions I made on the 204 remained effective until its sale. Not all Chinesium is of comparable quality, I suppose.
  9. As already said. There will be no noticeable change when driving the automobile; the distinction will only become apparent upon opening the hood. Conserve your finances and invest in rear tires to stabilise the horses during a gallop.
  10. The version of my application is 2.1.21. I am unable to locate any option inside the app to do an update.
  11. Thank you; I will attempt it first.
  12. I will attempt it once the wind subsides. Thank you.
  13. I own the button for folding or tilting mirrors. I would want the mirrors to fold and unfold while locking or unlocking the vehicle. Is this feasible?
  14. I am not well-informed, but I discovered a location to expel air while adding coolant at the bleed screw located above the thermostat. It prevents overheating.
  15. It's a windscreen, as long as it's excellent enough quality and is compatible with your auto wipers and lights, I would opt for the aftermarket one.
  16. What is the mileage of the car? May be attributable to a box service. Are there any trouble codes present?
  17. If the fan operates continuously, it is likely due to a stored P-code in the ECU, a malfunctioning temperature sensor, or issues with the cabling between the temperature sensor and the ECU, or an internal ECU fault. At 20°C, the temperature sensor on the return wire should register about 2.6 to 2.8 volts; if it shows no voltage, it will indicate -48, if I recall correctly.
  18. The ECU monitors the temperatures and activates or deactivates based on the switched earth circuit from the temperature sensor.
  19. Activates at 110°C and typically deactivates when the temperature decreases to around 109°C.
  20. Throughout my 17-year tenure with the dealer, I have purchased a total of 4 cars. It appears to me that since the batteries are not showing any signs of being defective, the dealer lacks the means to shift the responsibility of replacing them onto the battery manufacturer. Consequently, they are employing the excuse of no fault, in the hopes that the customer will purchase a new battery independently.
  21. The Sport Lux model, available in March 2021, may be purchased via a 3-year PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) agreement. After a period of 2 years and 7 months, my Mazda had its first failure to start. Mazda Assist promptly responded to the situation, identified a depleted battery, and successfully jump-started the vehicle at the roadside. Afterwards, the vehicle was taken to the nearby dealership for inspection, during which no issues were identified. Episode 2 - After a period of 6 weeks, the identical condition arises again, surprisingly in the exact same area. The technician who visited before, conducted the same diagnostic, and obtained the same conclusion as the dealership investigation. Episode 3 - On the previous Tuesday, there was a failure to initiate (this time on my storage device). Mazda Assist promptly responded to the situation, conducted a thorough diagnosis, and the dealership thoroughly examined the matter. The dealership's best recommendation was to keep my keys at a minimum distance of 7 meters away from the car. This implies that I need to relocate the keys from their current storage position, where they have been since I received them in March 2021. Meanwhile, I must decide whether to replace the car after the 3-year PCP ends. After being a loyal Mazda customer for 22 years, I am now faced with the decision of whether or not to spend more than £13k on the balloon payment for a car that has recently become unreliable. I have sent this matter to Mazda Customer Relations for further action. We will now await the outcome. Finally, reason triumphs. After retrieving my vehicle following Episode 3, I am leaving the showroom with a firm determination to never return. However, I unexpectedly encounter the Salesman who negotiated my CX30 deal (now the Sales Manager) at the dealership. Upon learning the purpose of my visit, he informs me that I require a battery replacement. Consequently, 40 minutes later, I depart from the dealership with a newly installed battery. Mazda, it is imperative that you become aware of and take action to instruct your Service teams to resolve this issue promptly.
  22. The fan typically activates at a temperature of 110 degrees Celsius. I own a diagnostic instrument that enables me to manually activate the fan in order to verify the functionality of the circuit.
  23. If the engine is running and you disconnect the temperature sensor plug in the thermostat housing, the fan should turn on. This indicates that the coolant circuit for the fan is functioning correctly, but there may be a fault in the air conditioning circuit. If there is a fault code stored for the air conditioning system, the fan will not run. Additionally, if there is no gas or insufficient gas in the system, the fan will not operate. The switching circuit from the DME (Digital Motor Electronic
  24. You should be unaffected, since the traffic often dissipates by 6:30. Additionally, you will be travelling via the M74, which allows you to bypass the most problematic section of the M8 that passes through the city and across the Kingston Bridge. There may be some traffic congestion near the intersection of M77/M8/M74, but if you position yourself in the correct lane, you will be able to easily bypass it.
  25. The issue arises when there is no documented history of maintenance. This may lead to future difficulties as it will negatively impact the value of the item. Additionally, the absence of regular oil changes might result in premature wear of the timing chain.
