Emissions update doesn't change the sound of the engine or anything else.

One of the fatal accidents happened after a car had broken down and was only stationary for 45 seconds before being hit! 3 passengers and a dog would probably take longer than that.

Nothing illegal about that

Not a great deal of chargers around where he stays, a quick look earlier showed most were all in use. We don't all live in London where they seem to be on every lampost.

No, he can during the week, the weekends are the problem.

He cant, he's looking at houses smaller and in worse areas that the ones he's in already in. If he was never inclined to get an EV he would not need to move at all.

You've shown a whole section in the middle of the Cairngorms area with no chargers, people who live there are not doing the NC500, they live and work in area with no chargeing infrastructure. In everyday life, any of those chargers could be a couple of hours away and not even in the direction...

How's this for an example of the problems of EV ownership, my son in law was offered one as a works car in place of his ICE car, he jumped at the chance of this newer/bigger car than the one he already had. I pointed out to him that he lived in an end terrace at the bottom of a row of houses...

You've shown the bottom half of Scotland, now try the top half for comparison.

Latest news from Wales suggests some of these 20mph roads are going back to 30mph, they are not proving to be popular.

Top half of Scotland seems to be very scarce, not surprised though. Not that long ago even the petrol stations were closed on a Sunday.

After using the Santander to Plymouth ferry, my sat nav told me I was in the middle of the Bay of Biscay when I was back in the UK. Still in warranty, Mercedes report stated, "found faults for multi function camera and radar sensor caused by COMAND on line". Not sure what any of that means, but...

I've heard many cases where even with a UV dye, the leak has not been obvious. Some of these leaks are so small they are a nightmare to pinpoint, and most of the air con outfits are more interested in a quick turnaround than spending hours looking for something. Much easier to spend 10 minutes...

You don't usually see anyone complaining about seal failure, you just get complaints from people who rarely use the air con that it's not working anymore. And you've guessed it, because all the seals have dried out and the system cannot hold any pressure anymore. It is a real thing!

Not sure many actually test with air pressure, usually they use a vacuum test which can mask a leak. Most annoying when you insist the system is leaking, yet they say no and regass it anyway, even though regassing a system with a leak is an offence.
