Pre-facelift LR Exclusive

How does the boot size compare? Is the S5 a little smaller or about the same?

I got an extension lead for mine that runs from the front, between the seats and through the gap in the split rear seat. Halfords I think.

The car is 2.5 years old but the first service was done a few weeks ago, so it's missed the time deadline by some margin, placing it out of warranty.

The main thing I found with switching, that I wasn't prepared for, is that an EV is more efficient round town and less so on the motorway, whereas ICE cars tend to be the other way round. I learnt this the hard way when I went on a work conference in January, 100 mile round trip with 4 people on...

31st May 2025 - quite impressed with this considering I do a regular motorway commute. It was up to 4.3 at one point. Cruise control at 60 mph, auto aircon at 21 C, normal mode with KERS level 3, seems to be the sweet spot combination for me :)

Speaking of brakes, hundreds of years ago I used to run a Vauxhall Corsa as a driving school car. I did 30k a year, which in those days meant 3 services a year. After the 1st year, the front brake pads suddenly needed replacing every service! They used to fob me off saying it was all the extra...

Some interesting colours going on there!

Pre-facelift does not work with i-Smart, neither does the pre-facelift ZS, it's only for the facelift versions and the new models.

April :)

I find this occasionally, and a fail safe I've found is to lock the car once the plug is in the socket. Sometimes it doesn't quite catch for whatever reason, but locking the car also locks the charge port so helps it stay put.

Hmmm... those ZS wheels look great too :)

It's reading road signs. But sometimes it misses them. When it's flashing it means you're over what it thinks the speed limit is, so when you were doing 65 it thought you were in a 30 zone. Then it saw a national speed limit sign and it's happy again.

Switching it off for 10 hours seems to have fixed it :ROFLMAO:

I did manage to switch it off and on again at traffic lights, this reset the screen but those 2 buttons still don't work. The others do though. I'll see how it is at home time though 😊
