With Warranties on cars, not everything is always covered.
I am absolutely dreading the switch to electric cars. No soul. no character, no driver involvement. Just silence, push the right pedal to go and the left to stop (not even that with regenerative braking). If you could distill everything I wouldn't want a car to be down to its essence, it would be an electric car. Absolutely hate the thought of it.Going to get some more adblue for the car later on, may as well. Just another thing to think about. Can't wait till they get a proper electric car system up and running, and have plenty of charging points, that do super fast charging.

I think when they do bring in electric vehicles, I bet you will have to be logged into a grid. Your every move will probably be monitored, and vehicles will probably be speed governed ( good thing, maybe. ) , and driving won't be enjoyable anymore. Not talking about the speed element, but rather the snooping possibility.

Have either of you ever driven one for a while? Surprisingly nippy, even our low end Leaf. Easily keeps up with motorway speeds. Fun? As much as any driving on todays roads can be. Speed governed? Probably - but so is my 3 litre Diesel.

No need for locking fuel caps these days as there will be an anti-syphoning device in the filler pipe.Annoying thing with our Ford tourne, it does NOT have a locking fuel / adblue flap. Anyone can access the adblue and diesel, as there is no locking filler caps either. I had cars over twenty years old, that had both locking flap, and locking caps.

Does that actually happen? Its all about keying the car of someone you don't like these days, even letting tyres down has gone out of fashion.What about putting stuff in though?

I am going to go check mine now as the is not even a cap, lockable or otherwise under the flap.Probably not, but was just my initial thought. I would have thought the outer cap would lock along with the car though.

My old SEAT had the cap that un/locked with the doors on the central locking.
The Ford's don't have anything that locks on the fuel AFAIK....
Our old Ford Galaxy fuel flap locked, when the car was locked up, and opened when opening up the car. But our Ford Tourneo that is five years newer, does not.
Although I did put petrol in a Diesel Kia Ceed, I was not paying attention that time.I have a petrol Fiesta and the fuel filler is accesible all the time, however you cannot just pour something in the tank as it needs a nozzle inserted to open up a flap. If you poke your finger down the filler pipe you can feel it. It also stops diesel being put in by mistake.
The car was supplied with a filler funnel, stored next to the jack, to aid filling from a can in emergencies. It doesn't stop someone putting something in the top of the filler pipe but hopefully you should see it when you fill up.
No idea about the adblue though.
