Just seen this interesting article on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37986774 "US demands electric cars make noise at low speed" Are they going to stop pedestrians wearing headphones as well!!

I've not come across the subject for a while so I will up date you on the charging situation at Meadowhall shopping centre. I myself have not been since last year (November I think) and we used to park at the rear in a charging zone/area. You had to get past a barrier to gain access. This had...

I thought I would share what I have done to improve my own charging at home. Mod 1; When I had my charging unit installed, a junction box was used to connect the armoured cable from the consumer unit to the wall charger. This had me thinking what if I changed this for a twin weatherproof RCD...

It’s the first day of April and I discovered hidden in the sub menu of the MMCS reversing camera is “Play Back” and hey presto it plays back the last 30 minutes of all your reversing! ;)

Never notice it till today. I wonder what else you could fit in it!!

I've had a quick look for this topic previously and cannot see one covering my question. I use the charge button often when doing long motorway journeys (I'm not paying for the fuel) and have noticed how quick it can charge to 80% even from empty. My question is; is this akin to quick...

Just thought I would share. Over the Christmas period I discovered a new trick (to me anyway) involving the washer wiper. I have been holding on to the wiper stick to operate it while needing to clean the windows, this is fine if you want a constant stream of fluid and the wipers to go at the...

I have been informed that the company I work for, will be exchanging all the work mobiles for Nokia Windows phones. Having been a happy Samsung Android user for some time I am more than disappointed with this turn of events. This is not a debate about what is the best phone etc.... Just a...

Just a small gripe about the PHEV heated seats............... they are great, they warm up fairly quick and having had them on my last 3 cars, I would be disappointed if I did not have them. However all the cars I have had previously had heating switches that reset them self's when you turn the...

Went to the garage to fill up for the first time (they delivered it with 1/2 tank of fuel) and after all the studying of the vast manual, could I hell as remember how to open the fuel flap!!, it was dark and luckily the forecourt was not busy. Eventually 15 minutes later I found the black leaver...

So it was delivered (on a transporter) to my workplace yesterday and so far so good. Gave it a charge over night and that went well. Got the App working so turned the heating on before getting in this morning. If I do have a gripe, it's the MMCS is slow to start up! Put some tunes (Led...

Just thought I would post a few images of the new 30amp cable I have now acquired for the Outlander, Now all I need is the car to plug into. Very pleased with the quality and the cable is fairly flexible/soft for the diameter, apparently it will still be fairly flexible in the cold! I have...

Has anyone come across the full user manual in PDF format? the Japanese site seems to have one for download but not the UK/Europe sites. I have seen the quick start guide on this site (thanks) but was hopping for the full monty to get some reading in before mine arrived. Is anybody with an...

Sharing my charge point instillation. Had originally booked an installation of a 30A unit for a couple of weeks’ time, but got a call yesterday to say they had a cancelation and could they fit me in. Saying yes I popped home to greet the installer, very nice guy (Mike) explained the options...
