Re: Parking Brake Malfunction

All Evoques (and Land/Range Rovers) appear to require substantial battery power consistently. When not operated, it deteriorates. When the battery depletes, it initiates a sequence of shutdowns. The start/stop mechanism is prioritised, and if the vehicle is not driven nor charged, the tailboard rema...

Investing in tires is prudent since they enhance safety and save lives.
I prefer Uniroyal over the inferior options commonly installed by numerous establishments.

Re: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Can the OBDII gadget toggle between high and low CAN bus? The time of your switch can be unpredictable.

Re: Insurance entire loss (Category S) — is it advisable to repair or sell?

I contemplate whether it is worthwhile to investigate Breakeryard or a similar platform for a comparable vehicle that has sustained damage from the opposite side or rear, in order to ascertain the possibility of acquiring color-matched doors directly from it.

On-Board Diagnostics reader
