Using carscanner my 13 month old SE LR with 9800 miles gives 98.3% SOH

I can agree with that. £198 for a first service at glyn hopkin Bedford. Like all their branches in the general area its cramped and has about 4 franchises. Recently found out my boss knows the owner of Brown and Gammons and it seems to have a pub next door too. About an hour away but could be...

Those figures are typical of my SE LR this winter. Driving mostly dual carriageway. When we had a “warm” few days last week around 14°C is was showing estimated 210 miles range. Worse has been around 150.

Ive had scenarios where an 80 mile prediction wasnt matching up at all to the reality. Measuring 10 miles traveled against a 10 mile drop in range was showing around 4 miles shortfall on a cold day. I was finding instances where predictions were totally out and mentally calculating against...

Had my car serviced at glyn hopkin bedford. No battery report. Emailed them and got ignored. They seem keen to sell BS extras like taking wheels off for cleaning at a mere 60 quid even after charging 198 for a first service Do not recommend

My 64kw car has been getting 140-180 mile predictions over the winter. Its normally 210-230 in summer. Fair bit of A road driving. The 280 mile prediction is BS. Budget for a 200m range

To make a small claim you will need to assign a monetary value to your “loss”. You sure its not just being moved in the parking area?

Why do you think the car has two sets of coolant reservoirs under the bonnet? There are radiators for battery, motor, and on non heat pump cars, aircon.

Probably Bowfer. Hes got fed up with his Born and is going back to the dark side

CrossClimates worked great on my Toyota GT86 which was driven in a spirited fashion on a 40 mile country road journey 3 days a week. All year.

I have had zero issues with the standard tyres after 11 months and 8,300 miles

Its probably the connection pins not making a good low resistance connection. Only takes a fraction of an ohm to create significant heat at 240V 32 amps.

My SE LR usually takes 30-60 secs to negotiate a connection and go green both ends

I did it just today. There is a very good gridserve 350kw site with 9 chargers just north of salisbury by the holiday inn Devonmg4 describes the same site. Except its not a Greggs site as such and there are def 9 stations. Further chargers at McDs if needed

Type 2 cables are all over Amazon. New cars only come with single phase chargers inbuilt so you dont need the heavier 3 phase type
