Frank acceleration with my c zero... Autonomy in free fall... I have just changed the first set of front tires... At 89000 km : Cheesy: pads are 25% worn : Cheesy:

A very simple thing too.

On my ion, like the Macro c0, when you lose range on usual routes, like 10 km, on a car that has 100, you check the tire pressure, and bingo! usually 10% is missing....

On these cars, it shows immediately....

Normal pressure at 2.5, and when I had a longer route to go, I changed to 3.2.....

And doing eco-driving, when you have 100 km of autonomy, you learn super fast.

You use the "engine brake".... You arrive in town, without having applied the brake, at the right speed....

and in the event of an accident, the insurance companies refuse to pay for non-compliance with the manufacturers' instructions.

pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.

Sources, articles of law? Example cases?

Yes, I know, I was not cool on the pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff, I should have asked, do you think there were cases where it had already happened ....

But tonight, I don't care .... And again, I haven't done basic janic .....

It's wrong. Bullshit. Statements as void in legal matters as in all the other areas he talks about.

Switching from my c zero to the ct yesterday ... Counter visit for the rear brakes, slight imbalance (only % : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: ) the car is only 10 years old and has 84000 km These are drum brakes... The diagnosis of the controller is a mechanical fault because both the pedal and the handbrake are unbalanced... Problem brakes that are never used ... in daily use over 52 km I touch the brakes 6 times on the last 3 or 4 meters before stopping at a traffic light or at the stop sign ...

Do not exagerate ! Unless a tire has burst, no expert will ever check tire pressure after an accident...

not necessarily after a burst. The expert, by reflex, will also take a look at tire wear and therefore the central wear of overinflated tires which reduce grip on the ground and particularly on wet or greasy ground.

He will also check the geometry you think? : Mrgreen:
