Re: Rattle

Just driven 70 ish miles this eve over some very poor roads - rattle has not got worse. Does not do it all the time which makes it difficult to

Re: Etiquette

Mileage now 360. And very pleased with it too -comfort and ease of access jolly good. Performance bit early to tell but seems to go well. Charging points only seem to allow 1 at a time, although have found one that will do 2!! The council office car park says '2 hour limit' so I take it that would b...

Etiquette

At public chargers it takes nearly 2.50 hours from right empty - is that acceptable or is an hour (ish) expected?

Re: Rattle

Thanks David. Tailgate closes easily and no dash warning. Checked rear belts too. Happens when going over bump with uneven surface like body tries to twist. Oh well will keep investigating.

Have taken tyre foam pack out and the loose towing eye, re-packed it in foam together with the locking wheel box. (Rather surprised not to even get a wheel brace!!). Has anyone had similar?

Re: Delivery tomorrow

-3 this morning. Engine ran quite a bit on way to work. Seems to get warm quicker/hotter in sport - is that better to use when very cold? Also no handbook (yet) - how do I change km to miles on the 'range' display? Steering wheel heater wonderful this morning! Total mileage 42 now...................
