Although it is almost a certainty my qualifications wouldn't have covered me for the French network, I believe the set up and operation of the rail network around France, and even Europe, is broadly , or even exactly the same as ours.

Rail crossings have a dedicated telephone by them to call direct to the nearest relevent signal box. That very important call wasn't been made in the video..

Yes, I bought my van from them a few years ago. Their strategy seems to be lower price and fast turnover of stock. They seem to handle a lot of ex-utility gear. They must have had over one hundred vans in stock from a large utility fleet renewal at the time I was looking for a vehicle. My van...

Your car may be low value, but the car you hit doesn't change in value to match. It's just part of the risk for insurance.

Air-con matrix will be freezing over and blocking airflow. My Puma does this, especially on humid days. I just knock the air-con compressor off for 5 mins every hour to defrost it and restore air flow. There is a sensor that that causes this, but turning off the air-con periodically, so far...

Are you sure? They aren't that keen on green lumps in hay, let alone green silage!

The VW Pheaton IS the basis of the Bentley

That really does seem to be a peculiarity of your geographic area. I cover basically the whole NW of England through work, and pickups used as cars really isn't that common.

It's illegal to have a tint beyond the legacy prescribed limit because vision is impaired in low light situations, IE, you can't see in the dark!

No 75% transition through front window min 70% transition through side windows min Just a slight tint is all that is allowed on the road

Why on earth would you buy that over a Range Rover?!? Or Discovery?? Or Dacia Duster for that matter? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but surly, even the visually impaired would struggle here. If it's modus operandi is to be the antithesis of a Range Rover, it is falling short. ,-...

I'll judge a product on its individual merits, not mainstream opinion. I agree he is no messiah, but he is an exceptional concept engineer. Where as most manufacturers are massively inflating prices whilst adding more cup holders to distract from the uplift, Tesla are distinct in asking 'just...

AHH. I see. There is nothing wrong with Tesla.... it's Elon Musk you have an irrational hatred of.

I'm no Tesla fanboy. I would very much have a use for one, but no hearts desire for one. I simply recognise the merits of Tesla and their products. It is very much worth noting, they are the only car company working out how to lower costs to consumers, when all around are escalating prices...

Well engineered. They were poorly assembled, much less so now. You don't get 5.2 stars out of 5 for crash safety when you have a poorly engineered product. Tesla literally broke the scoring system. How did Elon Musk personally offend you?
