It happened to me today, I have half a tank left so I could fill it and get 15 litres in, not sure I could get 20 in. I think when it's gone I'll fill a quarter or half tank at a time I should get through that in 3 months. But of a shame really I was in for 6 months without filling up and it's...

Thanks guys, the garage agree with Anko, stress on the short end has caused a short, flexing the cable will get power to flow for a moment. They have ordered a new one under warranty with no question, which is great so kudos to MB Mitsubishi in Bradford. Hopefully It comes tomorrow and I can...

So every thing has been wonderful, and it's been 3 months since I had to put any flammable smelly stuff in the side of the car.... But now my charger is dead, I'm still using the mistbishi 3 pin one and it's been fine, now it's got no lights, the fuse is fine as is the socket so it must be the...

Im in west Yorkshire too, I see so many now, 4 each day and 3 in works car park and some around the local retail parks, so much for been different, even parked next to one with almost the same number plate as mine, I took a pic, cos I'm sad. When ever I see one parked up I try park next to it :)

I always leave a note saying what time I expect to be charged. I often park at Ikea and the queues inside mean you can be gone for 30 mins on a short stop. If I charge there I can make the round trip with no fuel. I don't be grudge a pure EV using a charger before me, but I did Park at leeds...

Anko, I wish I'd known that, I created and complied an app using tasker today. it works on kitkat 4.4 and 4.3 android phones and responds to texts or missed calls from a number or numbers, you can also text it to get the location of the car should you misplace it. Personally I'd rather phone...

Some really interesting ideas there Mark. I use Tasker to automate things like texting me the location of the car and telling me when the powers turned on. You can have the phone email you a photo so you can see who's powered your car up too. I dare say you could knock up a tasker script...

You would need to be very close to the car, inside or stood next to the passenger side. If you are using Android you may find the phone keeps trying to disconnect as it can't find the internet, you can change this in wifi settings on the phone.

My top 3 would be really simple things two of them would cost next to nothing ; Have all the windows work with one touch, so go all the way down or up without keeping your finger on it, every morning I put my windows down to clear the rain before I pull out then put them up as I pull away...

Eco does control the fan speed reducing power, but also reduces the drive power to keep you using a light right foot I find turning off the air con, but keeping the blower on low works well and doesn't sap the battery once you get up and running

Hi Tweeds and welcome. there is no lumbar support, I did feel it at first but not now. The middle seat belt can be disconnected by pushing a key into the side of the anchor (you'll see a white clip) it will release and you can secure both clips into the roof so they don't rattle. There is no...

Hi Warkman, I had a Superb Elegance before the outlander, its a great car. There are a few things I found a bit basic on the outlander compared to what is a well loaded Skoda. I too get my fuel paid for, aside from tax on personal mileage, but I wanted something a little different, a little...

Hi everyone, In my last few cars there was a button you could press before locking it, this would arm the alarm but not the internal sensors. This saves you from setting the alarm off when leaving a dog or child in the car for a min. I often lock my son in the car while I pick the other one...

But it will drive up electricity costs if pre heating, Id like to pre heat to save petrol, but there is not a huge cost saving as you will have to charge more. Someone cleverer than me maybe able to work out the cost to heat for 10 mins on petrol and battery and see what the costs are. Hence...

This sounds like a really good idea but I'm not sure I'm willing to pay £22 for an app no matter how good it is. (I only paid £20 for my Andy phone)
