  1. Just said lean bank 2 ! No other codes were present.
  2. Fault code PO174 came up on the car,had a mechanic friend plug a reader in and it came up with that code Lean bank 2.This came up as a stored code rather than a current fault and it reset ok.Had a look online to see cause and there was quite a list of possibilities .Whats the best way to narrow down these possibilities should it happen again ,cheers
  3. The leavers have been told for the last 3 years that at the referendum they didn't know what they were voting for.I think most just wanted out that was the deal.Now there have been several attempts at deals I would be interested to know how many of the voting public, either leave or remain have read the deal in it's entirety,not many I would guess !
  4. I don't think Scottish independence is inevitable, they have too many unanswered questions to deal with before any logical Scot would vote for it.
  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI7tAJuzfeY&t=6s This was how I felt about M.P's ten years ago,not much has changed it seems !
  6. You are right about the taxes being imposed,i believe the goverment are already looking into how to fill the black hole which will be created if they stop getting the big receipts from fuel duty.
  7. Yeh I get the seeing more of them around cos you have one bit,however my seeing more of them is due to difficulty accessing the charging points which previously I could do easily.Not only full electrics but hybrids like Mitsubushi, Volvo, Honda and Audi.In the summer season it was worse as there were a load of Tesla,s up here and not many Superchargers so they take a fair bit longer to charge.Maybe more to do with the roll out of the charging system which is not quite up to speed yet.
  8. Already owning an electric I agree with a lot of what you say,although I find the uptake in my area has increased quite a bit in the last year.This of course could be due to the fact that for now, in Scotland public charging is free.Regarding the range issue Kia have gone some way with this in the E-niro but battery tech needs a big push.They are currently trying to develop carbon based battery packs which should charge as quick as filling a diesel but I suspect this will take a long time.
  9. I think Glasgow is doing something similar in 2021,banning Diesel cars older than 15 plate from city centre,however I have a son who works in car sales and says they are still selling loads of second hand diesels !

  11. Its funded by the Scottish government at the moment through Chargeplace Scotland who have website and app to show all charging locations.It's a push to encourage people into electric vehicles to meet pollution targets.There is talk at the moment of a charge being made if the charger is located at a privately owned business which is fair enough,but public chargers will be free at least for now.I have done 15k in the last 18 months with no fuel charge and no road tax which seems ok to me.I didn't buy my electric car new of course.
  12. Think that will appeal to a wider audience,looks great .
  13. Public car charging in Scotland is free ,no idea about south of the border.
  14. Yeh this was the route I took,my daily is a Nissan Leaf in which I do about 9k a year with no fuel cost or road tax and just run the Z on good days at week ends.
  15. Thanks for that,looks good location and reviews look pretty good,but always good to have contact with someone has stayed in the hotel,going for three or four nights by air ,looking for 4 or 5 star hotel that's close to metro and or some attractions,close to good resturants would also be a plus.
  16. Has anyone been to Rome recently who can recommend a hotel ?
  17. Best plan is a test drive first,Nismo ,GT , then make your mind up which route you want to go,everybody has their own opinion.Coming from a Supra to a GT Edition it was like jumping into a luxury saloon
  18. Went from 13 plate Gt edition back to an older 350z I got on hear last year.Just felt I had too much cash lying at the door all the time and not being used .Miss the extra grunt though.
  19. I have a bad thread on one of my wheel spacer studs,the wheel nut is tight all the way off.Does anyone know if you can buy thes studs or do you need to get a new spacer,cheers
  20. Somebody on 370 general last night asking about this car .No more price drops it's too handy for me to have a look at
  21. Looks nice is it a USA model ?Still on my to do list to get American made strat,been a Gibson man many years but will get a Strat one of these days when I can stop spending on cars
