Re: Nice and clean

Great Job Vrs. Mine will be getting a similar treatment next Sunday 23rd July as it goes in for its 1st service on the 24th. Love the striped Matts - Nice touch. Auto wash is not a sudsy product just like their Auto foam but it is effective with the bonus of containing rust inhibitors. If you want a...

Re: Mundane experiment to beat the ‘300 mile’ barrier. Any suggestions?

Don't know why but my predicted range after charging is now reaching 320 miles-ish. I never got above 300 miles last summer. The only difference being my weekly Sunday drive from Brighouse to Holmfirth to take my son to band practice. Its a 20 mile round trip that ive been doing all year and I only ...

Re: 1st MOT When 4 yrs old / Bi Annual Tests

I get your take on the government tax but I can't agree in this case.

The way Electric cars through tyres i'd say they should be tested from year 1 personally. I'd much rather drive on roads that have cars that have been checked within the last year, even if relatively new.

Re: Cleaning - Proteus alloys!

All Bilt Hamber products are excellent. Id try their newer Snow Foam "Touch Less" which is a bit more foamy than Auto Foam and clings a bit better. They do a quick hydrophobic coating called "Touch On" which goes with it and it is excellent at repelling water for a significant am...

Re: Full charge only shows range of 250 miles (Enyaq iv 80)

And that loss experienced in winter will vary depending on the length of the journeys. Short journeys in winter will have the 7kw battery heater on much of the journey sapping your range. I have found my 80 can vary from as little as 150 mile on a charge in the worst of winter conditions with both b...

Re: Anyone had this? Turn on clima and 50miles knocked off range!

Its not unusual for me to lose 50 miles of predicted range with heating on. The qty of miles lost is usually related to the set temperature. If you set to 25 deg, it will lose loads, if its just set to 20 deg, it will be a minimal loss.
