The damping can`t seem to keep up with sudden changes. Not refined at all.

Have you checked your underpants?

or you may get some weird things happening! When I had the charger plugged in earlier today I went to check the operation of my trailer lights. I connected the 7 pin plug and got my wife to sit in the car and turn the indicators and brake lights on which required the car ignition to be on. After...

Anybody who takes manufacturers figures as gospel is naive. There is plenty of info on the web about real life figures. I have had mine since November and the economy is pretty much as I expected based upon that info. Any savvy lease consultant should be aware of the actual economy expectation...

I bet you have just invalidated any warranty for the chargepoint.

I have a G4 and the sound system quality is not a patch on the Lexus CT200 system I had before. Very average. I also find the channel selection a pain.

Drove to Scotland and back this week. Last time I got 31mpg. This week I got 29.7 :o

I had a 16amp chargemaster unit fitted recently. Amber light is on the whole time. The green light remains on when you have switched the unit on with the key. It doesn`t go off when car is fully charged. I guess it is to remind you to switch it off with the key

Why does the range indicator tick down gradually until it gets to about 30 miles then suddenly just displays a load of dashes? Basically, the time when you most need to know the situation, you can`t see it. Really annoying.

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/plug-in-vehicle-chargepoint-grants Yes, the current scheme ends on 31st March

You definitely need proof that you are the owner or main user of a PHEV to get the Government to pay for your home chargepoint The original scheme did not require this proof so people who had no car were getting them simply because they were free and would add value to their property. Not sure...

Funny, my colleague has just got a lease quote on one to check it is within his boundaries and it came in cheaper than my G4. This is a company car.

From a tax perspective alone the PHEV cars are a no brainer. See if you can hang out for one of these. A much better car if you don`t need a big vehicle. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/golf/86198/volkswagen-golf-gte-2014-review

An extra 5K for that :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D If you have 5k burning a hole, go on a nice holiday, buy a motorcycle, buy a restored MG...

Looks like I did via the switch on the center comsole. I wondered what that was for :D

My auto tailgate just bleeps at me now and doesn`t open when I press the remote or the button to the right of the steering wheel. Have I inadvertently done something or is this likely to be a fault?

Very true. I recall a test in a bike mag where they took bikes of all sorts and capacities, 125cc to 1000cc I believe, and rode them all at the same slow speed over the same roads and there were remarkably similar consumption figures.

Out of interest, what speed do you tend to cruise at?

My first decent run covering about 850 miles in total averaged 31mpg with no charges. It was a mixture of motorway and fast A roads with hardly any rapid accellerating. Not brilliant, but the most annoying thing is the tank capacity at only 45 litres, the same as my wifes one litre Suzuki...

Plenty listed on ebay.
