Thanks to all who provided advice but it's now for a solicitor to get involved.... Read more

I have an issue with the noise from the steering when turning to the left,similar to squeaking and knocking. The dealer acknowledges the issue for once! I am in touch with the dealer but their solution is unacceptable at the moment. The net is littered with problems with SEAT/ Skoda anti roll bars and top suspension joints and has been for some years.

Have any owners had success with new anti roll bars/ top suspension joints. Has anyone recently bought a Seat Ateca, Skoda Karoq and does not have these issues.... Read more

At least Musk has admitted that Tesla were overcharging customers.

The bottom is already falling out of the BEV market. High electricity prices and lack of chargers will kill EV’s. Plus of course the U.K. has a grossly inadequate generating capacity, and can barely keep the lights on at the moment....

All Fords from around 2000 are fitted with a smart charge system whereby the charging voltage is able to reach above 15 volts under certain conditions . 14 volts seems a bit low to me . I would check wiring connectors to the back of the alternator and battery. The charge warning light is controlled by the engine management system .

‘ The electric Ford pickup in the USA has the facility for the owner to plug in power tools etc.’

Or, more likely nowadays, power the chargers for any number of cordless devices.
Charge the Ford via zero carbon solar, wind, whatever and lose the need to carry a nasty, polluting compressor or generator.
