After 5 years of regular use I am getting no lights on my granny charger. I'm planning to take it to a repair cafe today - I've tried searching and found a pic of the inside, a warning re a small black cable and that we might need a hair drier to get into it. Can anyone suggest what the fault...

Hi How much am I going to have to shell out for my 4th service (46k miles). I also need an mot. Has anyone managed to haggle? I plan to use the Ripon dealership. Thanks. H

So the time has come for me to replace the original Toyos. I have a set of winter wheels so just need some regular summer style tyres. I have been fairly happy with the Toyos but now I have the chance to look for something better... I don't want budget but not ridiculous price either I tow near...

Hi all I really ought not to follow the phev Facebook group - they do my head in. Got myself into a “is a phev good as a 100 mile a night taxi” discussion. Someone using chademo charger 1 or 2 times a night which I didn’t think was advisable. Does anyone have any concrete reasons this is not...

Hi all Before I call the garage, has anyone had this issue please? Even with low soc (battery level), regen needle never travels further into the regen zone past the “A” in charge, whatever regen level and regardless of pressing the brake. I’m sure in b3 say I would regen when lifting off the...

Hi all Anyone else had a problem with dealer fitted mud flaps (part of protection pack 2014) splitting. Wondering if I can get them replaced under warranty. I first noticed it last August so only just over 2 years old at that point! Thanks

I bought the service plan so think that was 3 years servicing, so the service I'm about to book will be included in that. Does it cover an mot anyone know? My oh has just bought a Hyundai with 5 years service and 2 (or 3?!) mots so think I might be confusing them... Thanks H

With the wi fi security alerts I deleted the remote app on my iPad and iPod a while ago. They can still see the cars wifi. I now want to set it back up and use remote heating. I also want to de register the iPod and put my iPhone on instead. I presume the car thinks they are both still...

We stumbled upon the Hyundai ioniq which is supposed to be arriving in dealers next month. Range about 160 miles I think, caveat caveat! OH is considering one of these rather than waiting for the tesla... H

I just rang charge your car to ask how their agreement with new motion works. There are loads of charge points in the Netherlands shown on the new motion app map. The lady from charge your car said that charging at new motion points is free for cyc card holders as long as the point is operated...

We have this on our car as it is under 3 years old but also have rac cover for our other car. When we went abroad with the car just after buying it, I bought an annual Europe breakdown policy from rac but I now see that the mitsu cover includes continental Europe. When you take your phev abroad...

To the driver of the grey phev charging at York vangard this morning - you appear to have dropped a book. As it looks like you aren't local, I have brought it home and will send to your library on Monday. Or you can message me here before then. Cheers H

I have been quiet on here this last month or so - have been reading the forum on my new phone I got for Xmas and I have tried a couple of times to make posts but it comes up with an error message - I can't remember what it says but can anyone tell me off the top of their heads if there is some...

Hi all Took my car in a couple of weeks ago because the handbrake had gone loose. Apparently a rear brake caliper had seized - the garage asked if I had been off-roading as the wheels were dirty! No, I just live in a rural area and it has been rather wet and muddy this winter! I was advised to...

Hi all OH just been looking at this and thinks looks quite good - I wondered what charge point they use - anyone know? Did a quick google and couldn't immediately find it. Being German I imagine it might use the wrong type (I have a tethered cable - DOH!). Cheers H

Hi all. OH is taking car in tomorrow. It has done just over 11,500 miles and will be 1 on 25 June. I have the service plan so presume everything will be included in that... Is there anything I should be getting him to ask the garage - is there any data we can get on state of the battery? I...

Any ideas - tried it several times today using button on boot and in car and had to open and close it manually each time. Is there a way to reset it? Thanks H

Hi I've never had a tow bar before and would appreciate some very basic advice (most of which is not PHEV-specific). I don't have anything to tow at the moment but am thinking I will get one or more of the following: simple small trailer caravan sheep trailer horse trailer tow bar mounted...

Ok, so if you read my disastrous "what I did to my Phev today" you will know that I need to sort out a busted rear light fitting. Turns out that the plastic "cover" isn't a cover at all, but part of one integral piece which is going to set me back a little under £300 fitted incl VAT. :shock...
