Made the mistake of turning the radio on when I got into the car today...

Jeremy Whine pandering to a carefully selected caller who was saying that SKS should be cut some slack and whatever other people had done wasn't his fault.

If David Cameron, Dishy Rishi or Bozzle had appointed Jimmy Saville as Ambassador to the US the whole country would be in flames.

But apparently, because it's the BBC and the one Labour voter left in Stoke, bygones should be bygones and what happened with an odious American 20 years ago is irrelevant.

Khunts, the lot.

It always amazes me the stupidity of these so called " leaders"  thinking that they can get away with such crimes it's all about the " old pals act" the problem being that the majority seem to be sick twisted perverts who relish boasting about their exploits to their kind with photographs & videos, I've seen it all before and these privileged individuals are no better than the perverted scum I had to deal with on a daily basis until a few years ago, I sincerely hope all involved get convicted of their sick crimes.

My guess would be that once he is finished in Politics, Starmer will " do a Schofield" and tell us all what we already knew, and then shack up with some uncomfortably young man.

Uncomfortable for him, or everyone else?

All of that aside, i think Starmers days as PM are seriously numbered now because of the Mandelson thing.
Its just a matter of time.
It could even be days or a few weeks. Probably depends whats in the paperwork he has been forced to release.
In any scenario he is now very much in office but not in power.

Trouble is, the current mob stay in power, and they have nobody fit to run the country

If / when Starmer goes, Lammy takes over ! 
Then Rayner, Streeting and Miliband will be fighting like rats in a sack to oust him and get the big job.
Any of those is a terrifying prospect. 
Meanwhile, the national debt continues to rise by half a billion per day !
The next attempt at serious grown up Government will be a thankless task for whoever it is.

Red Ed had a crack at the job once before. It didn't end well.

It's a 68 plate.

50/50 is a bit of a dice roll from a reliability perspective.

Took the BMW to the local motor factors to collect a replacement for the bits that dropped off the galaxy this week 

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.

Personally I wouldn't have one of the later 2.0 diesels, based purely off personal experience of a disco 5 that I owned for about a week before it went back to the dealer due to one of the well known issues that TB mentioned (cracked inlet manifold iirc). Also one of the dad's at my son's school had one that gave nothing but trouble. I suspect that was down to issues from improper diesel use but nevertheless, he seemed to always be chasing something, Turbo actuator / MAF, all manner of things were mooted and tested but he never got to the bottom of it. In the two years we were acquaintances it seemed to give him nothing but trouble - ultimately he traded it in rather than fire a big parts cannon at it  .

SWMBO's 2.2 Evoque seemed pretty reliable in the time she had it, a perished hose and some odd electrical gremlins caused by the need for a new aux battery were about the extent of its offences.
