I found that seeing as services will only go up, and you also get Full AA breakdown cover for those years we chose to have it.

Sorry i wasn't clear, mine has the USB-C ports and i have tried it and it works fine, even up to 13A, though only for sort times. I had it drawing 10A for a couple of hours and it not even warm.

If you can keep the wire ties as small as possible you can hardly notice them, and if you can somehow get to the back of the grill even better. It’s not noticeable unless you know what to look for, the photo shows it more than it is. For peace of mind for now I can live with it. If anyone...

Blue Peter generation, ‘Sticky back plastic, round ended scissors and a toilet roll.’ (Still feeling that I’m making a Tracy Island sometimes.) Nowadays it feels that the whole world is held together with Gaffer tape.

Here’s my first effort, cut to shape and fixed to the front of the grill with small black wire ties. I couldn’t figure out how to remove the blank looking centre plate, nor the tray underneath, so I know it’s not great but you really can’t see it from above or from 6ft away, better than nothing...

Things could be worse, take a look at the rear end of the Land Rover Discovery….SCREEM!

True, that may help to explain it. Mine has USB-C ports and a V2L tab on the battery screen. It’s a shame they all can’t be upgraded by a firmware update….

So over the weekend I connected a desktop PSU to the battery and locked it in the car after setting it to 13.8v. I could see the draw of voltage and power through the rear window and kept checking it over two days. Im sorry to say that I saw the same sort of readings. On the plus side the car...

Strange sorry to hear that, I picked mine up in January this year and it has it. I had to wait 3 months for delivery and I believe it came from China as there was no white edition in the country. Sorry but I’m not sure what to post to show any difference apart from the information on adapter...

Sorry Julian but we've been amazed at how much you can do with 24.7 kWh. Yesterday we were baking for a couple of hours in a microwave/convection oven, (Bread Pudding :) ) and still had 89% left. At 5p a unit seems silly not to take advantage, 'Every little bit helps'.

I get 7.2kw from Scottish Power/Easee box of tricks, unless I've limited it in the cars settings.

With Scottish Power you have to setup a ‘secondary account’ and add them as a ‘friend’ to allow them to choose when to charge the car. In practice what that means is that if I needed to have the car charged in 4 hours I would give them an end time so they would achieve it by day or night. But if...

Unfortunately for us, Scottish power use the app to charge the vehicle by turning it on and off when they have their ‘green slots’. This is fine during the day as we can keep the car ‘awake’ to start the charging, but we have never had a successful night charge. We are so glad that they give...

I was told by the guy who sold me the car was that if it did get on my nerves all i needed to do is cover the camera with some matching coloured insulting tape. I'm relieved to say though the only strange thing it has done is trigger off a warning when i was checking my side mirrors while...

No, to be honest I did the same, there are soooo many things to look at, and soooo many bings and bongs, that after a while I get a sensory overload and don’t see or hear what I need to see or hear. Always ask, no problem. And also I can’t find the option about EV / HEV, I have the ‘comfort to...
