Agree 40MPG on a run without driving gently. The car never totally run out of charge, there will always be some in reserve. Even though the EV mileage might say 0 mile/0% and it won’t allow you into full EV but in Auto it will still switch to EV automatically when below 25mph so there is still...

Do you mean a dotted line appear on your power meter as you drive?

When your power meter on your dash showing negative percentage whilst you are off the pedal/decelerating, it is charging the battery. In order for you to see any major gains in the battery, you will need a very long hill to come down. I find that braking doesn't really add much if at all to the...

The HS (auto/PHEV) has level 2 autonomous driving.

You just lift with a bit more force.

I have Llumar Air 80 on my front side windows for a couple of years now. They are supposed to be clear film but still have a tinge of tint to them. The issue now is the front windscreen in the summer.

Is that 3rd party? I had a discussion with my dealer and the courtesy car is free but with a high excess if involved in an accident or I can pay something like £10 and the excess is much reduced. Then I mentioned my own insurance actually covers me driving a courtesy car then he mentioned it may...

I haven’t been contacted yet and my car is 2 months shy of 2 years. I was at the dealer today on another issue and I asked them to look at the recall as I haven’t received the letter yet. They said they will run my VIN against the recall list and it turns out mine isn’t recalled. Most if not...

In your scenario a PHEV might not be the best choice of vehicle. One, your journey is all motorway and two, your journey is over 32 miles. But you have to get the best you can out of it and to be honest what you are doing is already the best out of the scenario. As long as you return home with...

I haven’t received any letter yet. The ones that have most/all appear to be more recent PHEV rather than the older ones? As I currently have a stuck charge port door, I have booked the car in next week and I mentioned about the recall to the dealer and they said they will look at the car.

You sure can. You want H8 LED bulb. Photo of fog light with LED.

There was a batch of faulty controllers installed to cars that makes the windows and wing mirrors stop working. The window controller on the driver’s door, you can prize it out gently with an tool and disconnect. Wait abit and reconnect, it should reset and everything should work again.

If you don’t charge the car you are basically driving a self charging hybrid. When the EV miles down to 0%, the car will drive in auto/hybrid mode only, it won’t allow you to switch to EV. You drive with the petrol engine and at traffic lights or stop/start traffic, the car will likely to switch...
