For example, some motorcycles that get a 2 year warranty in EU only get 1 year in the US.

Maybe Different climates, driving conditions, traffic levels, consumer laws, etc

Enjoy the sewage :ROFLMAO:

Yes, in Cyprus you can pretty do as you please, so we get building works on Sundays, evenings etc. Everyone hates it when it happens. However, slowly even here things are changing with regards the environment and that's a very good start. When I lived in Germany none of that hapoened and was far...

Correct, I'm not talking about the UK in relation to where the regulations are in place and largely enforced, there will of course be exceptions but these are relatively small. When I do refer to the UK is in context to how it would improve the quality of life for the majority. People don't like...

Many did put it to a vote in some continental European countries and guess what? - the regulations were approved. It's quite strictly enforced by the authorities AND the local residents who will report those that flout the regulations. Works very well and in urban areas gives the majority one...

Then we might as well scrap other 'trivial' regulations that don't 'affect health' such as all parking regulations, planning regulations etc. You really have missed the point about improving the quality of life for the majority using freedom with responsibility.

Nothing to do with 'nanny' state, it's all to do with a civilised 'state. The 'battle' is made up of many, many issues to be solved and the 'smaller' ones like preventing carcinogenic materials being washed into the water table are just one but a very important one and very simple to prevent to...

Sure, in the UK the same facilities don't exist but they do in quite a few other European countries where they work very well.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps......meanwhile the vast majority get some peace and quiet, some maybe on the only day they don't work.

take some time off/get someone else to do the work during the other 6 days. Works perfectly well in other countries. Car wash facilities are open 24/7 since they are not directly near residential locations and/or they will have good sound proofing around their perimeter. Sure there will be a few...

In some countries, that's correct, no motorised mechanical devices (law mowers, drills etc) allowed on Sundays so that residents can have some peace one day of the week. Makes sense, 6 other days to do that kind of work. Some apartment complexes only allow such work between 08:00 and 05:30, only...

Cyprus doesn't have any regulations on this subject which is one of the negatives living here, still a long way to go environmentally. In the UK maybe but in countries like Germany, the waste is strictly stored and then processed. It's normal there and no one even thinks about it. Lots to learn...

Yes, I do agree that private vehicles should not be washed where the resultant wash ends up in the rainwater drains. You don;t have to 'wash' the underneath for enough of the wash to end up there. The UK is way, way behind good environmental policy. How's the raw sewage in many rives and coastal...

The same in Germany and I agree with this regulation. There are many 'washing streets' in Germany which are car washes, both automated and by hand powerwash, usually many booths available and relatively cheap. Used engine oil which is often collected as grease/grime underneath the car is...

Linux has its own bugs just like any other s/w product and OS, I used to design and develop under Unix and various other OSs.

Good to see OTA is operational.

Most modern cars for the last years have logs for any software/firmware changes to aid fault analysis.;)

....and only the word of a few on here that it didn't and yet none were present at the time, same as the example in Thailand and probably others that don't report on the internet, like most car owners.

......so far that's been reported on the web. Most owners don't post about their cars on forums such as this or similar. Also there is this example, firmware, looks like underlying modules/firmware updated rather than infotainment: ;)
