If it's any help, you're probably only a third more distance to Inverness than we are, here out west! It is possible that the advice re R33 has changed, as Leah was careful to say they would do any required software, and then when I collected Leo she said that yes, it was necessary to update...

Thanks. Will do. EDIT: Thanks - that was very helpful. Took a while to work out how to pull down the quick LKA menu, but got there in the end. Now to decide what to set the two star keys to.

Yes, we think so. :)

A report back for info -mods - if this needs merging with other first service threads, that's fine with me. First off, one reads the horror stories some folk on the forum have regarding dealerships. We must be very fortunate, as Dicksons in Inverness has been the model of professionalism on...

Yes. It's sturdier than the cover it replaces. I was unsure of the price. On the one hand, on the face of it, it seems a lot for some plastic, but on the other, it's well made, the fitting is cleverly thought out, and the detail such as the net and a soft cubby that came with it, useful. It...

A report back. Hooray! The frunk has arrived. Unfortunately, here on Airstrip One, the sunlit uplands meant I had to pay £55 in customs charges and "handling fees". I suppose that's not too bad, as I did not have to pay Austrian VAT. The frunk arrived 20 days after ordering, but of course that...

It's linked to getting the car dealer-serviced at required intervals. In fact, I think, but don't quote me, that those who bought the 3 year service plan just get 3 years of cover.

After an earlier thread on AA issues. I phoned them to check we were covered. This was mainly because we have a personal plate on Goth Leo, and I wanted to be sure the AA had the correct details. They didn't, and my memory of the old number was wrong - apparently it came up as a blue Skoda!. But...

Been lurking on this thread a while, but just to add to the discussion, in case someone finds it handy. I'm 185cm tall (on a good day, 6'2" on a bad day :) ) so legroom is important. I am used to back pains after several hours' driving in various cars other than wonderful old Ruaridh Mor, the...

Very grateful for this thread, first because we've been wondering about getting a frunk and second because it hadn't occurred to me to check with the insurers. I contacted our broker, who responded a while later to say that, as long as it is " a professional item" (or words to that effect) it...

The car has incredible handling, but yes, we did notice when we got it that it seemed to get side-swiped especially here where the wind can be character building. But since we replaced the factory tyres with all-seasons (discussed on this forum) that's all changed, and we don't experience that...

We don't have a wide variety of different charger type experiences, but we have noticed that PodPoint rapid chargers always stop at 80% no matter what the app is set to. Other rapid we use take the car to 100% so it's not an app/car setting. Maybe that's the issue with what you are seeing?

No, of course not. But if the brake lights come on at unexpected times, it could be seen as inconsistent driving, which can be dangerous. So I'd rather understand when the lights are likely to come on. It's just trying to be courteous.

We live in a very rural area, with little light pollution, so yes, I wanted to test this, and it was easy to see when the brake lights came on in the rear view mirrors. I do not think it is related to percentage regen only, but mostly to actually slowing down. Having said that, on a very steep...

We have seen the future and it works. We live in the north west Highlands, and do not have the ability to charge the car at home, so are reliant on public chargers. We left home knowing that it takes about 30% battery in Goth Leo our black SE LR. 45 miles of that leg is single track, but we...
