Faraday pouches- Keyless entry signal blockers

Has anybody found some long lasting Faraday pouches- Keyless entry signal blockers? This is the first car I’ve had with keyless entry and whilst I love the ease of it you hear stories about the security of keyless entry in general. With that in mind I bought some faraday key pouches of amazon but I’...

Re: Fuelling with 2 flaps

Hi all. Apologies for delay in reporting back, tried a few other pumps on the same forecourt and found one that has worked three times in a row.

Re: Fuelling with 2 flaps

Cheers everybody, I am using a pump that is on the right side for the filler, I’ll maybe work my round the forecourt to find a sweet one.

As for nozzle placement I’ll keep working at it

Re: Fuelling with 2 flaps

i folks, so I’m having problems getting diesel into my xc40 at my local pumps (Asda) . Pump constantly cuts out unless I’m only tickling the handle and filling incredibly slowly. Don’t generally use any other pumps or pay much attention to nozzle length I can’t determine if the issue is that I’m jus...

I previously used road trip LE but it won’t let me add a new vehicle or delete the previous data for my Honda Hrv to start over. I’ve downloaded the free version of Fuelly but can’t get it to work right (can’t get it to u...

I'd recommend getting them to get it fully up and running for you as I ha...

Finally Arrived

So ordered mine in August and got it this week. :D Three months seems like a long time but from some perusal of this forum it seems that's not too bad. My previous car was a Honda HRV 1.6 Diesel so this is a class above that but that car was pretty good. I doubt I'll get the 60 mpg I got over my own...
