I felt the little kick or whatever you want to call it. It felt like a small bump in the road. My passenger felt nothing!

I'm hanging on to the Tracker tariff. For me, it's hovering around the 18p mark.

Re: ID3 battery recall class/group action

If you times it by 1.6 you get about the right mileage for a 58. ie 118*1.6=189 miles this is an app 'feature'.

You do only get 7kW on a home charger or are you talking rapid?

Re: Fuse Taps

It wasn't an option for the Viofo. Maybe I would have gone down that route with Nextbase. Anyways, I have bought a multipack of Amazon after going to three different auto spares and one garage in Dumfries. Fitter fitting on Tuesday

Fuse Taps

I'm buying a dash cam to hardwire in.

Does anyone know which of the following I need?

ATS Fuse Taps

Mini Fuse Taps

Micro2 Fuse Taps

ATC Fuse Taps

It means very little to me!

Re: Dashcams: Current preferred dashcam please?

I've fitted the FitcamX made specifically for the iD3 - Forward facing but it requires no wiring, no power wiring - look it up on google or better still youtube. In short, you unclip the housing under the rear view mirror and put that to one side - the camera comes ready installed in a new housing ...

Re: Automatic lane change with Travel Assist - how does it work?

I have just a couple of trips to Glasgow and noticed that if the lane change isn't available, switch to ACC and back to TA then the wee arrows become available. Turn it off, turn it on syndrome. It works much better now - not perfect!

Re: Ev Car tax

My thoughts are that the structure of taxation needs to adjusted. We had a Fiesta 1.0ltr petrol and it is zero for taxation. I can not help but think to tax that less than a BEV just doesn't make any sense. The same goes for 'luxury'. A battery costs £££ and we are lugging it around rather than imme...

Re: No 3.2.1 update?

I think VW only go to one decimal place, so if you are looking in your car, you may only see 3.2 BUT the car might be on 3.2.1 - that's my understanding, happy to be wrong.

Travel Assist with mass location data

Just had this notification. Had to enter my details, name/address which is odd. Then was asked if I wanted to pay £86 or £0.00? D'oh. It did mention something about assisted lane changing - I wonder if that feature will return as I have used it before. Such excitement as car manufacturers become sof...

Re: Automatic lane change with Travel Assist - how does it work?

I have used this feature a few times. However, the wee little arrows/pointers are rarely there for me. It's a pretty useless feature, just slightly better than self parking which I have never managed to try.

Out of interest, I spray mine with some graphite lock lubricant. It helps me, if not the 'pin'!!
