Isn't technology wonderful

So it is ......but one has to realise that anyone would want a height setting other than fully open and that there was adjustment.
Last car was a 2001 model with manual side hinged backdoor....I'm still learning.

It's because some people are tall and some short, so a wee short woman can reach the button on tailgate to close it. Simples!

If you were able to save £50 by changing your consumption pattern, it surely must have been excessive previously.

Not a given, as BG have been giving half price electric between certain hours on a Sunday, and during the Olympics, or was it the Euros. So that saving wasn't available to us prior to BG introducing it. The saving obtained by switching stuff off during anticipated peak times was not very much as we don't tend to run with much electric if we can avoid it. Cooking is via gas, a decision we made when the kitchen was replaced three years ago.

My Foresters had a tailgate which had height setting. But even fully open it was still too low for my 6ft 4 inches, but my wife at 5ft 2in had no issues. Being made in Japan clearly affected the designers decision.
