Yes mine also, and the high level brake light, looks bad. I dismantled one rear light, and cleaned with a tooth brush, but not very satisfactory, maybe I will have a go at the dealers.

Yes, as I say, I think it is first come first served. I would never buy a pure EV, just because of range anxiety, but I can imagine a LEAF driver with extreme range anxiety finally making it to a charging point, on his/her last few joules/amps/volts, and some b*****d in a 4X4 occupying the...

I only got the smell after about 4000 miles,this occurred after a long climb up a steep hill, so as others have commented it is related to high engine load, but in my case it rapidly went, and have not had it since, despite some heavy duty hill climbs. The engine was very noisy and strained on...

Leaf driver was probably envious of your beautiful PHEV. But seriously, not sure we have the etiquette of public chargers worked out yet. I think it unreasonable for us PHEV drivers to occupy a bay for more than 30 mins. Pure ev cars sometime have no choice other than to stop and wait for a...

I think you should easily get 40 mpg if you manage at least one full charge per day. I manage 37-38 mpg on petrol only, mixed round town and motorway. I have done 7500 miles in 7 months of ownership and my cumulative mpg is 62, this includes adding back in the petrol equivalent of the charge...

The link to a BBC report on electric vehicles is very interesting,the Mitsubishi PHEV is the biggest selling hybrid in UK with 10,000 sales in last 12 months. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32217969

How easy is it to get a power supply to the dash cam,is it easy to conceal the wires? Thanks

Yep same happened to me,one mirror worked,the other seemed to break a link somewhere in the internals and went a bit floppy. I defrosted and locked/unlocked and there were a few clicking noises,and then the mirror seemed to click back into place and now works ok. I will disable the mirror...

£20/month =£240/year. I used to pay more than that just for the VED on my RR Sport. My running costs to date over 3000 miles and including elec costs to get a total gallons equivalent,gives me just over 60 mpg,more than double the RR Sport. A major cost on the Range Rover was replacing the...

I can only agree with Rob above. I also bought from Norjac in Carnforth,excellent service,I negotiated an excellent price,car arrived ahead of schedule in perfect condition,and has been faultless for 3000 miles. Yes the showrooms are not the glitzy premises you get at some main dealers,but I...

Has anyone found how to operate the heating in pure EV mode. Yes I use the App to preheat,but often I only do a 10 mile journey with plenty of battery reserve,but always the ICE fires up. If I am on a long journey ,no problem,hit save,use ICE, and EV later when warmed up,but short journeys,what...

Yep it is too slow,and annoying,you can just do it manually. Perhaps it is my biggest dislike,I came from an RR sport and the split tailgate was excellent. But I still love my PHEV over 3000 miles and in excess of 70MPG equiv (Allowing for elec costs),and I still find excuses to go out to the...

Some years ago I drove past a Land Rover dealership and there was a Range Rover demonstrator on the forecourt,I called in on spec to book a test drive and the salesman handed me the keys and said help yourself. I came back after 30 mins and expressed some interest,the salesmen casually said...

Put me down for the anti wind turbines. Where I live,if plans for more turbines were announced there would be significant protests,however if a Nuclear power plant was proposed it would have serious local support,yes the locals like nuclear. I worked most of my life as an engineer on...

Yes indeed,let us be honest,using electricity derived from a fossil fuelled power station is probably comparable in energy efficiency terms,to using diesel direct in your engine. Remember from the power station(fossil) we only have a generating efficiency in the 30-40% range,then there are...

I used the British Gas offer,and the 16 amp charger was fitted free. I actually had 2 free installations as we own a second rental property.Both chargers work very well,and the fitting was very good,you will need a separate feed from your main board 16 amp is more than fast enough for me. Not...

Have had 2 discos,Range Rover,then XC90 (not a nice car so only kept it a year),then RR Sport for 8 years,and now the PHEV. For fun I have an MGB roadster that I built from scratch on a heritage shell,it has a 4.6 litre V8 with an American twin choke carb and plenty of other fuel guzzling...

Yes thanks for the link re London charging stations,it does seem very fragmented,and not very good if our Capital city cannot get it right,have to agree with maby,the economics do not stack up.Fortunately for me London is not relevant. I have had a BG home charger fitted in my main house,and at...

Actually it is one of the few things I dislike about the car,the Tailgate is too slow,and difficult to do manually. My previous was a RR Sport,and the split upper tailgate was brilliant.The beeping is annoying,and draws attention,"Look at him showing off with his electric tailgate". However I am...
