Got one for the 17 plate car specifically. Will ask about the 16 plate too as they're only 15 months apart. The way I read this, it may mean that without the upgrade, and should the adblue system fail, the vehicle can be restarted :) While the current status may indeed make it non-compliant, the pos...

Not necessarily. The battery protection process will do its best to maintain voltage by progressively switching off non essential loads to keep enough power available to start the engine, regardless of whether the ignition is on or off.

Cumulatively we've now covered 18k miles in our '17 at 34.1MPG, and 12k miles in the '16 at 32.4MPG, which I am happy with given driving style (and V8 history). To date the best economy from a tan...
