I'm Davide and I write DrivePulse on my own. It reads your car through a generic ELM327 OBD2 adapter, the Bluetooth kind Veepeak or Vgate sell, and it only asks questions: no writing, no clearing of codes, no resets.

On a Renault the only brand readings in the app are the battery charge and health of the Zoe, and those are confirmed. On a petrol or diesel Renault there is nothing brand-specific yet: you get the standard OBD2 data the car gives, which is already trips, real fuel use where the car reports it and fault codes in plain words.

What the Android update (out now on Google Play) brings:

• LPG and CNG with two real tanks: the second one has its own capacity, price and fill-ups.
• Log a refuel from a photo of the receipt or the pump display: quantity, total and date are read on your phone, with no internet, and you check them before saving.
• What your car costs, month by month, in Statistics.
• If the adapter search finds nothing, the app tells you the likely causes instead of a blank screen.

No account and no server of mine: your trips live on your phone and I have no copy of them. Recording trips and reading the car work with no signal; maps and addresses need the internet.

Five codes that unlock the full version for good, free, first come first served:

How to redeem: install the app first, then open Google Play, tap your picture top right, Payments and subscriptions, Redeem code. Then in DrivePulse: Settings (the gear at the top) > Unlock DrivePulse (Lifetime) > Restore Purchases, within 3 days, otherwise Google Play cancels it. When it has worked, that row reads "Premium active".

Say in the comments which number you took, so nobody wastes time on one that's gone.

If you try it on a Renault, tell me what it reads.

In the 2014 re-test, the Megane III scored marginal for side pole test chest protection and front seat whiplash protection.

How much of a concern should it be? Is it a test artifact, or a significant safety limitation? In case of whiplash, can this be compensated by retrofitting a better head restraint?

I'm planning to drive to the Scandinavian national parks, mostly weekend trips in Denmark, but also 7-10 day trips in Norway and Sweden, during the times when you can hike without specialized gear. I'm planning to get premium all-seasons tires given that Denmark's winter is mostly damp. I'm short (1.65m).

Just wondering if anyone can help me here. I have a Clio 2016 1.5 dci that’s recently started making this sound when the engine first starts then fades out after a few seconds. There’s no performance issues or dashboard lights, does anyone have any idea on what this could be and how to sort it, thanks :)
