Follow up on my struts and the SGS re-gas. On testing, one strut was devoid of gas and would not hold a charge when they tried. The cheapest option to resolve this was to purchase a pair from them with guaranteed next day delivery at £48, so I took that route. (I didn't see the point in...

Hi, On Monday I'm sending both my struts to SGS as they charge £12.50 per strut plus postage. Total £36.98. They check for feasability of a successful re-gas on arrival and will turn them around in 2 days. Warranty supplied. Again, I'll post final results. Peter

Hi Sumpy, Thank you so much for replying to me. That's very helpful. I'll look into that. I'm just sending a query to SGS about cost of re-gassing. I'll keep you informed too.

Hi, My tailgate has decided to go on strike - using the internal button or my key fob it raises in its usual manner. As soon as it reaches its full open position it starts to close. The 'up' and 'down' audible signals are normal. I was thinking the motor or sensors were playing up in some...

Excellent, thank you DD.

Hi guys, halfway through the various lockdowns I thought I would carry out a service to my PHEV following the checklist supplied with previous manufacturers services. It's now out of warranty so not an issue to me. Now I'm starting to use the car again regularly and I've got the ROUTINE...

You obviously haven't been in the car with MY wife then! :lol: :roll: Err, Bloggsy, I was up in Scotland recently so maybe ............................. :D :D

Wow, I too have this noise. Some days it's worse than others (wind?) and only on a journey where my speed is fairly constant and above 50mph. It annoys my wife more than me but she then becomes an irritating passenger by pointing it out to me. I never thought of door mirror but that can be...

15th Feb filled up, ICE started on 28th June. Car had been stood unused for 6 days before start up.

I too have just had the ICE running continuously after start-up with the same message as above. The tank is full and hardly been in use thanks to lockdown so, after reading the posts here, I knew what it was all about and decided to just run it down to 1/4 full then put in 15 litres. Then I...

Interesting points raised here. I've only ever had reversing sensors until I got my PHEV in November 2018. After 10 months of using camera only I can say I hate it. I prefer to be looking in my mirrors or to my rear and rely on audible assistance than having to look at the screen to see how...

Hi, yes, the dedicated charger can deliver 32A but the car accepts only 16A. The 'brick' is not in use at all now the charger is installed. I was quite sure what was 'on' when I started my first observation. Fridge, TV on standby etc as you correctly pointed out. I am now convinced I looked...

Well, just tested it for 1 hour as that was the last hour of the charge as I ran it for about 2 hrs last night then stopped it. I'm assuming the charge rate is not linear so the last hour may be a more gentle rate. The result does indicate that as I recorded 1.05 kW for that period. There is...

That's great information, thank you. On checking my supplier's charges the cost is 13p per kWh so that puts me in the ball park you mention Chris. I'm now waiting for the washing m/c and dishwasher to finish their cycle then I'll set the smart meter on kWh to try again. We can't set the cost...

Can anyone tell me how much a home charge is costing them please? My 2015 Outlander is costing me £6 to £8 a time which is not what I expected. Using a smart meter with a handful of devices in use, laptop, phones and 1 lamp it indicates £0:14p for an hour. Plug in the car and consumption...

Thank you everyone for your helpful replies. I ended up using a 32gb card as I had one spare knocking about. Putting the music I thought I wanted on it I'm only using about 1/4 of its capacity. It works fine and I'm happy with the result. Still wish one of my ipods worked though - another...

Many thanks Nils. I too find the bluetooth option very poor volume/quality. I have more or less decided on using a 32Gb card. The information you gave about quantity of CDs is what I was particularly looking for, Thank you

Hi, I've just acquired a 2015 Outlander PHEV and I'm suffering from the iPod playing issues (confirmed by other posts) so I've decided to go down the SD card route for my music. Can anyone advise me on the SD they've used, what size (by that I mean how many tracks/albums), make, things to look...
