Re: interior smell

I've never noticed a smell from car air conditioning, but it is possible. It happens a lot in normal air conditioning systems around this time of year when the heating starts getting used. It smells like cats per and is caused by a bacterial growth.

Re: Lane departure warning.

It definitely sounds like you have a fault. I have a 2019 model and I can choose between beep or rumble. I like the rumble, it is rather reassuring so I leave it on all the time and try not to go over the broken white lines. It does sometimes read a repaired road surface as a broken white, but that ...

Re: Bluetooth connection issues 😪😪😪

I have a Samsung Galaxy Edge. It was no problem on O2, but when I changed to Vodafone I had a few issues. I took the sim out and cleaned the connections and now it is fine most of the time. Just an occasional blip.

Re: Cattle grids

Your comments make sense if you are braking on the grid, there is no surface for the tyre to grip on. Absolutely no point braking on the grid.
