    096 battery instead of a 100 - red lead doesn't reach?

    I've seen quite a few posts saying that an 096 battery fits, but I can't see how the red positive clamp will stretch? This is annoying, cos for another £5 I can get an extra 10Ah. If anyone can ELI5 this for me I'll be your BFF, or until you ask me to stop TIA

    Engine Malfunction, turbo cut-out 2.0tdci

    Hi guys, new here and having some issues with my 2013 Focus 2.0 tdci.   A couple of days ago on my way to work I accelerated and as I got to around 55mph a warning message came up reading "Engine malfunction, service now" and it seemed as though the turbo cut-out, didnt lose all power and didnt seem enough of a drop in performance for me to consider "Limp mode" but there is certainly a very noticeable drop in pulling power whilst the warning message shows. The sudden drip in power is e

      Well, what I neglected to mention in my post was that what we've been driving (and thus will be trading in) is an Auris Hybrid, albeit a hatchback.  The sensible thing to do would definitely be to fork out and switch to a Corolla Hybrid tourer.  What's stopping both me and my wife from doing that though is how utterly, soul-achingly boring and dull they are to drive/own.  Yes, they are refined / comfortable enough inside.  Yes, they give us all the conveniences we need.  Yes, they are probably the most economical choice we could possibly make at this price point, same goes for reliability....but we just can't bring ourselves to spend another few years with the same formula of car.  Anything with a CVT now tbh I am discounting straight away. I have read that they have improved / reduced the harshness of the CVT for the Corollas.  I still don't see how much improvement could be had in that platform to make it at all enjoyable to drive. Was there anything besides economy you were particularly impressed with in your experience of the hatchback?
