ALAW

I'm sure that Hydrogen plant is a Saltend in Hull. If it isnt i think one is planned. Pleased to see one of our Cllrs keeps shouting about future is Hydrogen as well.

I pulled into my sisters other week turned engine off and saw this little insect emerge from btm of windscreen flying about you can imagine i swiped it out of the car David.

Yes your correct Peter i am happy for this to be.

Yeah i hear what your saying Len. I park so my doorbell camera gets triggered if any motion i have a floodlight on sensor but to be honest not a lot of car theft here. Turning the internal sensor off I'm quite happy for this if car was broken into alarm would go off. Pretty sure its a bug of some description car parked at work in country.

Well the alarm went off again the other night. I have now decided to switch the internal theft sensor off. It is now a matter of reminding myself to do it every night. The last time it went off a moth flew out not seen anything this time must be a little critter. There was no attempted theft or anything. So from now on I'm pressing the internal sensor to off.

Yeah Conti,s on my radar as well John when time comes.

So sad to hear this about John's passing. I remember when I joined he was one of the first to welcome me and he Dm,d me informing how to use the forum. I hadn't clicked something and it wasn't posting. I rung him up to thank him most unusual for me to do this. A lady answered must have been Margaret, ill just get him for you. We had a chat a good chat put the world to right about cars dealers etc. We both had followed honest john over the years. Any how ill have to go now he said where did you get my number. From your DM i said ooh replied John. Massive contributor to this forum will be sadly missed thank you Sarah for posting. He will be reading the handbook now with a glass of Rioja to hand. Good to see forumites contributing well done all. RIP John.

Scott i had an issue last year it was ice on sensor or dirt when thaw came it was ok.

I aint sure about that.

Today 22.5 mile motorway journey the link app says i got 47.2mpg. I had cruise set at 56mph.

Yes Roger ive read on forum this has been mentioned defo one to consider.

Thinking about retirement myself Neil.

The CRV i had the gearbox was notchy and it apparently was a known fault. I discovered it was known on the HJ website. When i addressed this with the dealers master technician he didn't know i stood next to him while he rung HQ up they said yes and we are working on a fix. There was also a problem with the petrol flap the hinge it caught the main skin on the inside and paint was scraped off they checked other cars in the compound and lots were like this they told me. Apart from this we liked the car but couldn't live with the gearbox.

James i too have thought about this i have same as you on Bridgestone Turanza come next Autumn i reckon i will be requiring a change . I have been thinking about Dunlop apparently they are a quieter tyre but im still open to suggestions.

Welcome Dave

Welcome Neil lovely looking vehicle

Welcome to the LOC Dave. I once had a CRV bought new 2009 I can honestly say for a new car the worst I've ever had.

You will be given the option of taking a course no points on your license a cost is involved of a similar price to the fine if you took the points. You can choose where to take the course they are usually around 3 or 4 hrs allow for registration. Most can be done online nowadays they have made it very straightforward and easy. Your right its a cash cow.

I have a single portable induction hob it is very quick to bring a pan of water to the boil. I will definitely get a new induction hob to replace my gas hob when renewing the kitchen. You must make sure your pans are ferritic with the base the flatter and smoother the better. Happy cooking.

I got one as well today

When i recently rung dealers up enquiring about 12v battery jump starting after its discharged. I did mention to one should I give you an order for a UX250h today when will it be delivered answer September.

Well I have to be honest and say I really had 12v battery anxiety on finding the car flat on my return from holiday and further anxiety by the fact I will be using the meet n greet service at the airport and if they found it flat and jumped it incorrectly and it caused damage. Firstly the correct procedure should you need to do this as in the manual is remove the fuse cover and expose positive terminal then remove engine cover to reveal negative terminal. After reading all the posts on this thread I decided to ring a few dealers up to gauge opinion hopefully to put my mind at rest. I got mixed responses. One said couldn't guarantee it would start it depends on condition of battery. On starting with a jumper one said they do it all the time and connect the jumper to the positive and negative terminals directly onto the 12v battery in the boot, they also said come down and will show me. Another dealer when I mentioned this said its not advisable can damage the system always jump on the terminals under the bonnet. Another said about the solar charger as mentioned by @Lent and @Steppy how this works they said you plug it into the diagnostics port which is inside the car front right i think he said (anyone confirm) put panel on window dash and it puts a trickle into12v battery the OP @para999 I would say this is your best option. However overwhelmingly most said I shouldn't have a problem especially having over an hours drive to the airport the 12v will be well charged. A pal has an RX and he has left his for 3 weeks once no problem. So you will all be pleased to know my anxiety has now eased greatly after ringing round. Hope this helps others.

My 2.2 mile commute home this afternoon 22.3mpg. According to the link app.

I saw this only last week Linas its quite good isnt it.
