I always have a little internal chuckle when I see a middle age woman driving a Kuga.
Are they sure it’s the batteries, not hot flushes causing the fire issue  |

From someone who owns a Fiesta with a wet cam belt I hope they win their case.
As markb110 says, cars seem to be going backwards. |

Back in the news.
An excerpt "In the meantime, however, owners have been told to drive the car in 'Auto EV' mode only and not to charge them up from the mains." Then there is this “We are also extending the warranty for high-voltage components to ten years/240,000km (whichever comes first), covering the high-voltage battery, for all affected Kuga PHEVs in Europe." Wonder how Land Rover would handle this? https://www.completecar.ie/car-news/articl...ll-warning 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

Either "we are not aware of any problem" or "they all do that, sir", I expect. Those seem to be the stock responses. |

Funny how Ford say "it is a software fix". Everything seems to be computer driven these days. With all the planning that went into these cars, this problem never surfaced. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

In a similar vein to JLR’s front axle snapping statements. I expect JLR would say
“A major extremely high temperature fire could take place, this could cause a slight discomfort to occupants of the vehicle or those in close proximity to it.” “ To take advantage of this facility we have provided you with some wooden sticks and marshmallows to toast” |

Let’s hope the control systems at the two new UK nuclear power stations are a bit more robust |
