Nissan Leaf - Refusal of Short Term Right to Reject 16 Mar 2022 (Forum)
I booked it into a Nissan garage to have it looked at and received a report back that stated the front anti-roll bar bushes needed replacing and both o/s and n/s would need to be done, on top of that they also stated that the 12v battery was only at 50% capacity and there was an outstanding recall on the car. After gaining some further advice from CAB I was told that I had a short term right to reject, within 30 days under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. -

XBUS light electric modular utility vehicle 21 Nov 2021 (Forum)
Apparently no special tools are required. It has an 'in hub' electric motor in each corner and the standard battery pack will give a range of up to 200km, but (*) this can be extended with two extra packs to give a range of up to 600km. Maximum speed is quoted as being >100km/h, which is absolutely fine for my needs. -
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer - BMW 225xe plug-in hybrid: owner's diary 1 Jul 2020 (Forum)
But here are some initial findings from the first few days of ownership: -- using 'Max eDrive' mode, which stops the petrol engine kicking in unless you activate kickdown, and delivers up to 78mph on the electric motor alone, I can do my 8-mile round trip commute (which involves NSL dual carriageways and town shuffling) for two consecutive days, and still have about 25% charge left in the battery. Performance in this mode is more than adequate for keeping up with traffic flow, although battery range will be reduced in winter weather. -- the BMW-supplied charging cable would be better if it was 3 feet longer. -

Citroen Picasso and other Models - Citroen Engine Fault Light Problem some solutions 21 Aug 2019 (Forum)
TFLCO is a known Citroen-wide issue that they, so I am told, have never fixed. A GOOD TIP:After you have disconnected the battery for more than half an hour, when you connect it go for a drive of more than 15 minutes ASAP. This 'trains' the ECU to your driving pattern so include, for example, some 60mph and some town work. Captain K -
