Anyone know where the Oil pressure switch/sensor is located on the 2015 Qashai 1.5dci engine Read more
As it’s a Renault engine, it’s likely to be near the oil filter.
Hi, used to post here donkey's years ago, probably with a different name, can't remember any details. Any familiar faces still around from 15 years ago?

So do I! I am very very short of money (as well as a nice warm garage to work in).
Hi all! :)
I am amazed at everything I've just learned about National Taiwan University and Taiwan driving today, he, he....
I see tis the season for whining, making up rubbish and getting i****s at Netflix to pay you a 100 million large.

If anyone who hasn't read the book cited above and still wants to moan about "Royals" whining then I have to say that your priorities are completely wrong.
I would welcome comments on this (unscientific) observation of mpg on the above cars.
I travel reasonably regularly from Redhill in Surrey to Southwell in Nottinghamshire. Having lived in both and having family in both I have often driven between the two. Both journeys start about 7pm on M25 / A46.... Read more
Not surprising really if you think when driving into a 30mph wind the car is going through air doing over 100mph rather than 70 so does closer to the economy of a car doing 100. It all evens out though as in the other direction you can get the fuel economy of doing 40mph when you're doing 70.
I don't think I would try driving a boxy car (or even a more aerodynamic one) anywhere in a 70mph wind. That's almost a hurricane. Don't forget all those artics blown over on the A1, probably in less than 70mph....
Afternoon all. Was idly pondering the above as our next vehicle, having read Autocar's review.
However, I notice that there now seem to be only 2 engines avail: the lower powered130 or the Phev.... Read more
There was also yesterday's (?) thread about Stellantis refusing to fulfil orders unless a ransom was paid (to paraphrase).
Most motorway accidents are caused by drivers suddenly changing lanes without warning, and the worst offenders are those who constantly alternate between the nearside and middle lanes.
Driving in the nearside can be frustrating. When trying to move into the middle lane in order to overtake a slow moving vehicle, drivers are often baulked by cars in the middle lane which are clearly on cruise control and whose drivers are too lazy to either speed up or slow down.
When approaching a motorway junction I always move into the middle lane in order to allow joining traffic to enter the nearside lane. The Police approve of this practice, and have been known to fine selfish drivers who hog the nearside lane when they could easily move into the middle lane to allow traffic to join the motorway smoothly.

Confirming the comments of some others here, travelling on the M4 on 23 Dec at 6pm in not particularly heavy traffic, I noticed quite a few lane 2 hoggers who were not prepared to move to lane 3 when appropriate, or back to lane 1 when practicable. The worst one responded very aggressively to me moving into lane 2 ahead of them. I had first checked they could easily move into lane 3, indicated and and allowed them loads of time to mirror-signal-manoeuvre. They chose not to move, so I pulled into lane 2 safely - ahead of them. It confirmed that lane 3 was still clear for their use. They were doing at most 5mph more than me so I sped up from 65mph to 70.They sounded their horn for a considerable time. After I overtook one car and promptly moved back to lane 1, they accelerated alongside me, then swerved towards my car, before continuing in lane 2. Lane 1 remained clear for them to use for a while, but they stayed in 2. They were in a large SUV and I was in a 5 series BMW. I wouldn't have liked to encounter the same driver while using my Peugeot 107, or the Fiat 500 I drove on 200 miles of motorway today.
The fuss about smart motorways is massively overdone By far the safest roads are motorways and smart motorways have been shown statistically to be equally as safe as standard motorways. Anyone who diverts onto other urban roads to avoid smart motorways is putting themselves, cyclists and pedestrians at greater risk.
Why is there not similar publicity about the thousands of miles of dual carriageways we all regularly use, with no additional safety features like radar detection, overhead warnings etc.
So, MP's and the media should stop being influenced by the occasional attention seeking by coroners and focus on the facts. Every death on our roads is a tragedy. Whatever resources available to reduce deaths and injuries should be focussed on by far the most dangerous roads ie country lanes and single lane urban roads.
Smart motorways save lives!

The concerns raised about the performance of smart motorway technology are indeed alarming. Ensuring the safety of drivers should always be a top priority, and it's crucial that the technology in place is reliable and efficient. Similarly, in the realm of coding, having reliable resources is essential. I've been using codinghomeworkhelp.org/matlab-assignment-help.html for assignments, and it's been a game-changer in terms of reliability and efficiency. Just as drivers rely on technology for safety, coders rely on dependable platforms for their projects. Has anyone else here sought reliable resources for their coding or driving needs? How do you ensure you're getting the best assistance?

Ongoing strikes by the Trade and Public Service unions over wages, pensions, employment and contingency provisions are causing widespread disruption to learner drivers due to taking the term. driving practice test. Unfortunately, the sonic exe strikes are affecting driving test centers in different parts of the UK at different times, making it difficult for learners to know when they can take the test.
