Re: Skoda's KESSY System

if the key signal were to get blocked - would the engine suddenly stop on the move?
No. Try it, start the engine and then get out of the car with the key. You get a warning that the key is out of range but the engine will continue to run.

Re: Plug in hybrid - worth it or not?

No personal experience but there's a PHEV economy calculator here https://www.omnicalculator.com/ecology/phev-economy If you take something like the Kia Sportage the PHEV is around £6k more expensive than the petrol equivalent. Also a PHEV could well be over £40k so you'll be hit with an extra £390/...

Re: AdBlue level indication

The range with the existing AdBlue® tank fill level can be seen in one of the options in the driving data in the instrument cluster display.
Its described in the manual in the 'Engine,Exhaust system & Fuel' section under the 'Adblue' section

Re: Caution: Engine Running w loud beeping

That sounds like the warning and noise made when you open the drivers door with the engine running.
Do you also get a 'door open' icon ?
Possibly a faulty door sensor/limit switch

Re: Car locking itself

Given how serious this could be if a child or animal is locked in the vehicle , has anyone reported it to the DVSA https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-recalls-and- ... ety-defect ?

Possible reasons:-
