Re: elec drive question

In addition to that, I find it's very temperature-dependent. With the weather getting quite warm here now it is much more willing to start and stay in electric, whereas in cold weather it will immediately start in petrol and stay there at least until the engine is warm.

Re: Creaks and groans

I have noticed that the rear discs are a bit rusty already and the outside edge of the circumference of them about 1\2 inch all round looks unused?

Re: Freezing weather

Yep and today I had this problem - snow and ice all around the seal. Cleared it but still wouldn't open. Pressed it in a few times from outside and then it popped open OK. Temp is -2 at the moment.
