After three weeks of PHEV life climbed back into our other car today, (56 plate xtrail Columbia ) no worries about EV range, no buttons to press, actually had to turn a key the start the thing, how bloody old fashioned is that!! Much as I love the new car it felt nice getting into the old lady...

Clearly you've never driven a Sierra XR4i.... Now that was dangerous!! Any corner above about 40 sent the back end all over the place, and god help you if you got above 70, stopping distance was until you hit the car in front. There hasn't been a single vehicle manufactured or will there ever be...

I might be slightly changing tack, I've had the car for two weeks tomorrow, delivery mileage 6 miles, filled with petrol on delivery, range on dash for petrol 406 miles, now reading about 320 miles, yet the fuel gauge ( the blue one on the speedo) hasn't moved at all. I've done mostly electric...

I've got a 5c my daughter has a 6, both work absolutely perfectly on both phone calls and playing music, admittedly both on spotify, haven't tried iTunes. Can't really understand the gripe about it only starting to play the app played, don't all music apps go to the last track you played? This...

I ordered my gx4hs with NHS fleet in mid April after a test drive at a local dealer. I started to look at this forum, tales of gloom everywhere about delivery times, months I'd be waiting!! Gloom and doom. Five weeks later she arrives gleaming black looking lovely.... But the arrival slightly...

Evening All Having read loads of stuff on here whilst waiting for the car to finally arrive I understood it was fairly difficult or near impossible to get the magical "five leaf". As most people my first week or so has been taken up with playing with the toys, the paddles, Eco mode etc, the...

I'm in!!!! And it works!!!!

Hi Neverfuel Thanks for taking the time to point those things out, I have been onto the dealer and awaiting the response, at least the aus version is better than nothing for the minute. Cheers Dave

Hi I found tha manual at the following link http://www.dgmultimedia.co.uk/dng---interests/ PDF doc so I've just saved it onto my iPad Cheers Dave

I've just completed my first journey in my new car, I set the sat nav up out of interest to get me home, only a ten mile journey but it worked perfectly fine, right to the door. I'll reserve judgement until I've done a proper journey where I don't know where I'm going.

Got my new toy yesterday and I have a couple of strange queries 1. The sat nav is already set up and working but in the glove box there is a wrapped and sealed sat nav CD. I have looked through the manual (that I downloaded) but can't find any mention of this CD. 2. I did not get a hard copy...

Hi ALL Day 1 in the PHEV house, looks beautiful (black by the way) got my phone paired and contacts imported no probs, I then tried to do the App, followed the instructions got in, kept foot off brake pressed ACC to on, pressed the lock open ten times, I am getting two beeps but my phone 5c can...

I'm getting the GX4HS in black, really looking fwd to it, I'm looking fwd to something different as over the years I've had all sorts of cars, hot hatches, family jobs, other 4x4's, so it's something different. I currently run an xtrail which is a brilliant car, but the outlander is replacing...

Cheers I've had six quotes yesterday and today all between 175 to 225, so that seems to be the going rate. Big day tomorrow it arrives!!!!!

Hi All Live in the north east of England looking for any recommendations of who to fit charge point and for reasonable cost. I understand the govt grant is now only £700. I am being quoted a contribution of 170 to 200. Does anyone have any better quotes recommendations Cheers Dave
