Interesting.... I have a 2015 Vogue SE and my stop/start battery failed to the extent that I had a permanent warning on the dash that the stop/start system was not available (not that it ever works anyway!) but I had no messages about the SOS system. Pete

I've got an L405 and, like you, rarely carry rear passengers. It's a big enough beast as it is and longer than most parking spaces. I wouldn't want to have another 8 inches behind me. I've driven 2 screen cars, and touchscreens seem so much fiddlier and more distracting to use than...

Propshaft universal joints about to give way? Pete

I have a L405 TDV6 and the stop start hardly ever works..... When the car is serviced that seems to spur it into action for a day or so and then it gives up. Apparently it needs something like 25 different parameters to be met before it will work properly. My driving conditions don't merit...

These documents for testing the EFI system may be helpful. It's been a while since I had my 3.5 but I seem to remember having a similar problem which I cured by fiddling/cleaning the Throttle Butterfly and the Extra Air Valve. Good luck! Pete

I think that's a Velar? Pete

This is the latest development prototype of heads-up display satnav, shown at the CES 2019 Tech Show in Las Vegas https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-46860454/ces-2019-the-sat-nav-of-the-future-has-arrived Pete

I agree - technology is great - when it works. But without the basic understanding and common sense e.g. ability to use map & compass, you are screwed if the technology fails or if you trust it blindly (e.g. people following satnav instructions into fords etc). Pete
