and when the battery dies, you will have to buy a new iCar. In the meantime, you'll only be able to fuel at iGas service stations or use iTricity

Took me by surprise the first time it happens. I believe it is a Windows phone thing, part of Driving mode. [off topic] Sorry all you Apple/Android fans, contrary to what you are being told, Windows Phone is actually quite good. As to the lack of apps, be honest about what you miss, and how...

I have a Lumia 820 and the Bluetooth connection is perfect. I can use voice control to make and receive calls, the car reads out texts to me, although I have not managed to work out how to reply. It is true that the PHEV app will not work, but who cares? It's pretty useless to me anyway as the...

Apparently not. I have not investigated what I did or did not do, and to be honest, I don't want to fiddle with those settings again ... Maybe one day when I am bored I shall take a look at it all again. It is stupid that the only possible override (to charge the car outside the set times) is to...

The charge timing software was still set. Dealer's service manager, dealer's technicians and I all though it had been cleared down. Turns out that it was still set. I had begun to attempt to set the car to charge only when the sun was shining (we have PV panels), but then decided against and...

Totally fed up now. Will not charge with either cable. It's going back to the dealer today, as soon as he can sort out a loan car. Thanks for your advice everyone, I'll keep you posted.

A bit overenthusiastic there. The car has reverted to not charging ...

Ray, that's far beyond my competence. I am loathe to take the plug apart as I do not know what I am doing and could easily mess it up and any warranty along with it. This is my second chargemaster unit, and charging problems have arisen on the lead supplied with the car.

...and quite a lot of mint sauce.

Thanks for your info. The car is due back at the dealers when it goes for repair after my sheep-killing experience.

Could you give me some more details, thanks.

A curious problem has developed on my car. I plug it into the chargemaster unit or using the 13 amp lead and it refuses to charge unless I leave it switched to ACC. Obviously, this means that I cannot lock the car, although I can take the key away. Last week, I forgot to switch the car off after...

You guys are lucky! I killed a sheep :o . Hit it full frontal, right in the middle of the car. Plastic rad grille damaged, dent in bonnet, oil cooler needs replacing. The sheep is not so well off.
