  1. The pertinent legislation is the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
  2. Excellent observation; effectively articulated.
  3. Enchantment! The vehicle appears to respond effectively to the key fob at a distance over 40 yards; therefore, I will attempt that valuable suggestion. I sincerely appreciate it.
  4. Indeed. Annoyance and disapproval! Thank you for that. A rational sequence, and I had overlooked the 'feature'... We have possessed the vehicle since May, hence our emphasis has been on air conditioning rather than heating. It has been exceedingly wonderful as well. Apology. The previous vehicle was a B Numb W PHEV (225XE), which had the capability to pre-warm when necessary. It is worth noting that it did not have the same effect on the external mirrors, much to my dismay. The electric plug socket would not heat, which, on a notable cold occasion, hindered my appearance at an appointment because I was unable to extract the plug from the frozen socket and declined the recommendation to apply boiling water to the region. The Sportage model in my driveway is equipped with heated seats and a heated steering wheel, leading me to consider the possibility of a pre-heating feature. I am curious about the operation of the windscreen de-frost on an extremely chilly morning when the petrol engine requires warming up. It is likely to resemble the majority of vehicles I have encountered over the past many decades. Ice scraper prepared!
  5. This morning, the Scheduled Charging functioned flawlessly, and inexplicably, without any alterations to the settings and without human intervention. The subsequent item on the comprehensive agenda is if the app may instruct the vehicle to climatize prior to departure, especially with winter approaching. The owner's manual appears to be ambiguous or even evasive regarding the issue. Request for feedback, please.
  6. My third-generation Clubman is equipped with tire pressure sensors in the wheels, which are available in various colours to indicate different fitments. In contrast, pre-generation models, like yours, utilise ABS rings and sensors; a deflated tire rotates less than an inflated one, which the ABS detects. The advantage for you is that you can install any wheel you desire and perform a reset of the tire pressure warning, allowing the system to recognise the change. As a general guideline for speedo
  7. You may consult an independent automotive gearbox specialist for guidance, and if you decide to change the fluid, Toyota would remain unaware unless you disclose this information.
  8. He offers repairs at a reasonable price, including a wide range of services from broken timing chains to complete rebuilds and regular maintenance.
  9. My average efficiency since acquiring my Niro EV in October 2022, over 13,000 miles, is 3.9 miles per kilowatt-hour. Varies from 300 in summer to 220 in the depths of winter. The need of heating determines the severity of winter.
  10. In my experience, when there is suspicion or detection of coolant leakage, changing just one component often results in several repairs. Therefore, if any portion of the cooling system begins to fail, I believe it is more prudent to replace all components. You will go on an extended journey of pursuing various components at different intervals in an attempt to rectify the failures as they manifest individually. One notable aspect of these vehicles is this. If they overheat, you are finished. Conclusion. Even a little indication of cooling issues might result in significant expenses. My L322 operates at half on the gauge under standard conditions; thus, if it overheats, there is insufficient time to halt and save the system before it becomes very hot. Although this is expensive, I recommend replacing all the hoses and plastic components entirely. As I said, it is expensive, but the assurance it provides justifies the cost for me. My perspective.
  11. Increase the thermostat by one degree.
  12. What is the reason? As you have seen, attempting to "upgrade" the internal lighting is not a simple task.
