Now now boys, be nice to the less fortunate. There but for the grace of god and all that. :P

Welcome Murf, what area do live in. Don't forget most of the GMEV chargers are free, but you will need a cable.

This is what happens when a Nissan Leaf is fully depleted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG1kXfflWnk

Has anyone purchased a type2 to type1 cable? and have you found a cheaper one then £135+Vat. I wasn't going to buy one but after getting a new job at Wigan Hospital I will be able to charge it there for free under the GMEV scheme so it will be worth it in the long run. Just need to find the...

I've used them about 6 times and never had a problem except once I turned the ignition on to charge my sons Ipad and of course it shuts off if you do that so that was my own fault.

Add the service plan to your lease £10 per month for peace of mind and no big shocks when you take it in for service. I think you save about £200 doing the MSP so it is worth it I'm in 2 minds about spending £150 on another cable, but went to take my wife to hospital last week and the only...

Nice, best choice of colour in my unbiased opinion. :P I thought my reversing sensors were a bit faint so I purchased an add on unit for £30 that sits in your back window. Much louder and shows distance to obstacle and which side obstacle is on.

Yay, excellent news, If you need any help with the towbar fitting give me a shout but it is pretty straight forward.

Hello to all you North West newbies. Hope to see some of you out and about on the roads.

Me to. My Gx3 has so much condensation I have to use a towel as the aircon wont touch it. I don't know why they didn't use the aircon so you can run it as hot, it doesn't take that much, just a case of it changing which way it blows the hot and cold air when it seperates it. I think if the...

I wasn't going to bother with a type 2 to type 1 cable as the pricing just wasn't worth it. I have used the Ecotricity fast charge points a few times and they are great. However last week I had to take my wife to Hospital for an appointment, we all know what a nightmare Hospital parking is like...

Well done, now can you lobby your council to install a fast charger somewhere near the Caernarfon Junction of the A55 as I spend a lot of time around Anglesey and the Llynn Peninsular through Summer and my last fast charge point is at Ellesmere Port. :D

Anyone wanting to fit their own towbar and save some money it is quite an easy task. I fitted mine on Sunday and it took about 2:30 mins. It would have been quicker but my ratchet packed in on my socket set, so I had to resort to using spanners which slowed things down. I purchased the towbar...

jkwilly I fitted the towbar on Sunday and all went smoothly, it took about 2:30 mins, it would have been quicker but the ratchet went on my socket set so I had to use spanners which was time consuming. No major problems, I would say if you have or can get some ramps it would make it much...
