. I have never had to power down my car but my wife's garage disconnected her battery today to change her clutch (*) resulting in her radio needing a password reset. Got me to a thinking (dangerous territory 😁) and not ever disconnecting my ZS battery, do they require a password reset on...

Main London to Edinburgh. Crossing North of Doncaster between Bentley and Arksey. During the day they can be closed 45 minutes in the hour with wait times of a few minutes to as long as 20. They are famous round here and watching 10 - 12 trains go past is not uncommon 🤔🙄 Rob

I was sat in my car and a railway crossing, the sun was shining and quite warm. It got me thinking about your query. I shut everything off except the fan and my car display was show 0 Amps being drawn I turned the AC on and listened to the compressor start instantly the Amps raised. The...

I always used the "cause control" on my old diesel car, I found it a lot more efficient so I started to use it on my ZS but since I found out that it didn't regenerate I stopped. That was at least 18 months ago. Another thing that put me off was it was quite aggressive. I tend to accelerate...

Is that about £15 a month over 48 months? That is cheaper than what I am paying for years 3, 4, 5 & 6. I'm paying about £22 So if it expensive, I'm completely being fleeced 😂😎 Rob

When mine gets to about 3% the displayed milage goes blank. It happens when it has about 10 miles left. I have driven on and because I timed it to happen between work and home I was always within 10 to 15 miles from home. Can't say I enjoyed the feeling but got home with no issues. Rob

Just asked my best mate Google and it is possible to access the switch by removing the whole centre console. So it sounds a awkward, finicky and potentially problematic to do it yourself. Rob

It's possible the switch is the fault, maybe the internal contacts are at fault and there is a bad connection or short circuit that is causing the issue. Rob

I've only ever used an automated carwash and always remove the aerial. Rob

When I bought mine 2 years ago it was a very similar buy as your option. It was almost 2 year old with 6k miles. I have since done another 30k, average about 14k - 15k a year. I charge at home over with a ohm pro on my Octopus cheap ev tariff about 85% of the time. I do lots of long journeys...

If there is no coverage I'm not sure how it connects. It's not Bluetooth as far as I know. Rob

There is an option to link your car to your phone through an app. ismart. You pair your phone to the car when sitting inside it. On the screen there is an option to link using a QR code. When I first tried it with mine which was about 18 months old I found it was still tied to the previous...

At least you recognised the issue and resolved it. 👍😎

Doesn't it already have one? I can track mine and it has a factory supplied security system that is Thatcham approved. What more can you add? Rob

I'm very happy with my car and the saving compared to my last car which cost £120 every ten days to do the exact same journeys as I do now in my EV at a fraction of that cost. In my first six months I compared my bills and I had saved £800 that was 18 months ago so the saving is even more. My...
