    worst day ever (so far)

    I can’t help with the fix - but if you need a reputable garage, I was using https://www.audivwcentremelksham.co.uk/ for all my A2 servicing. 50 mins from South Bristol. But you’d have to get the car there first of course.

    Adding a2oc to tapatalk app (iOS)

    As per other thread - our account in Tapatalk had been removed. No idea why. Maybe the new (original) owners of Tapatalk are having issues. I've created a new one now and reactivated it. Hopefully it'll work for you again. I'd love to ditch it, as it's an overhead on the site. But I know...

    Forum Update February 2024

    So, there’s a bug in the mail system of the new forum software. It generated 45gb of mail entries, causing us to run out of disk space! I’ve disabled outgoing mail whilst I investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience. Ben

    AI driven search

    Yep. Wise warning about the hallucinations that such models introduce. If we were to do this properly, we’d search only against our own database with an appropriate embeddings model, and then use the LLM to summarise the results. However, this comes at some cost right now. Bing Chat and Google...

    AI driven search

    Hi Whilst we can’t afford to run our own fine tuned AI model, you can use Bing Chat’s AI driven search for finding content on the A2OC, together with references. For example, if you are using Bing Chat (either in the Edge desktop browser or using the Bing app in your phone), you can ask a...
