    Fucking retailers. Meant to have two heat pumps ready for pick up from 12 today, waited half an hour from 4.30, because the sales bitch hadn't sorted the wifi adapter.

    Cunts.

    Then you heat pump can collect data on you too.

    There are third party controllers that will smart link your heat pump. So, yip.

    re the headlight thing - many cars now have the instrument panel (dashboard) lights on all the time, regardless of the state of the headlights. I got caught out with this not long after getting the current car, pulling out of a gas station at night not realising I hadn't turned on the lights (car does not have auto headlights). Could have been nasty.

    I have Google smart speakers in my house, my phone set up to unlock with my voice, voice controlled light bulbs. Google location turned on 24/7 for me n my wife so we can see where the other is (helps for planning dinner on a 50min commute).

    Wish my old moody Mitsibishit van did, it decides every now and again at its own will " I'm not letting you see the dash lights tonight", its other little quirk is when it is really damp weather will decide randomly that it will suddenly just loose power and die as you drive along. Turn the key off, wait a while, starts and drives like nothing happened, farking gremlins have got in there But I shouldn't complain, because its now Saturday.

    Anyhoo don't forget to add to calendar 19th May, 27th July, and 31 August.

    You might find that if you have the lights on when you stop and turn off the engine the lights will go off then or when you open the driver's or a short time after you've turned the engine off. When you restart the engine the lights come back on...

    our auto headlites are shit, and our dashlights are lit up all the time but its not hard, learn to turn everything off when you stop, ie headligths and wipers and heaters etc then ya get in the habit of only turning them on when needed, on a side note our dashlights dim when the headlights are turned on so thats how i know if they are on or not.
    grinds my gears when i hop in either of my cars and someone has left the effen wipers turned on and they go scratchin across a dry wind screen fucking the blades

    I just never turn my lights off, so they are going day and night. The only reason to touch the stalk is to switch from low to high beam. The auto headlight setting was annoying.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Interesting - I see a lot driving without their lights on at dusk and I could not work out why given the dash lights would be on.

    However picked up a late model Suzuki SX4 for Mrs B this week and the dash lights are always on as you say - a indicator symbol comes on when you turn park/lights on. So retrospectively I can see why some knob may not have their lights on.

    Dangerous.
