With the features switched off, I'd expect no impact of charge level over a few days, as it's only powering alarm, entry system and telematics really.

Been a lurker on Tesla groups, when they were on the short list. There is a 'phantom' drain issue there, but I think it's due to all the cameras and sentry mode etc. Not unheard of for considerable amounts eg 20% of power lost in a week. Other functions like a climate over product to cool if car gets to hot etc are on by default.

To allay any potential concerns - the iX lost about 2% over the week we left it parked at Southampton docks last summer - and iirc yours has a larger battery than mine. I assume waking it up with the app might make it lose more, but I can't see why you'd need to.

So I was out Sunday-Thursday, came back and the i4 was on exactly the same percentage.

Is your XJ a gen 2.1 infotainment system ? (I found a pair of new head units in the cupboard when cleaning up)

amazing footage especially watching the wheel fall.  Also amazing it's not done by some kid in an anorak religiously filming every take off like in the old days, its all AI and robo cameras...

This is worth a watch. Mike Graham interviews the excellent Liam Halligan, who gives his forthright views on this shit show government and how it could become a whole lot worse post Starmer and Reeves.

Sorry to be a pain, but please excuse me as an older women asking this:  I have purchased a can  of Holts professional brake cleaner, which I will use as instructed on the callipers and pipes. But can this be used to get the grime and any rust off of the shocks?

I note all your comments about using a "damp cloth", but wouldn't a cleaning agent assist the process as I use cleaning products to remove grime and grease from items like the cooker around the home?

Why are the shocks apparently so vulnerable to heavier type cleaning?  I do recognise though that the "bellows" / rubber parts must not come into contact with any cleaning products, so would mask them off.

Thanks for any replies and assistance with my work plan building for later in the year

Are you a Virgo?

I ask because you're overthinking this to a whole new level

A biggish car back in the day. Sadly, like most other cars of that era, they succumbed to rust earlier than they should have done. I recall the aerial on my Cortina falling through the wing.    Wheel Arch liners weren’t a thing back then so all of the water and dirt got trapped in the corners.

That is easy Lizzie. Try Reform full of defectors from the Tory party that failed and prompted folk to vote Labour. 

Better to travel in hope than arrive in despair!

Very true Varche!
