FWIW - Using Eco or Snow modes does help a lot. You've still got to feather the loud pedal so you're only applying just enough to move uphill, but it seems to help a lot. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Just dab the indicator on for one flash and the camera will come on so you can see the front on the main screen (or switch to left, right or back camera).

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I think it's a combination of a quite hard rubber mix in the tyres, a pretty heavy vehicle, the geometry / dynamics of a tight corner on a steep hill and, to be fair, a pretty old & cheap road surface. I'll give 'Eco' mode a try as by reducing the throttle...

Leaving our house we have a steep hill with a tight 180 hairpin we have to climb from stationary. We have to really hug the outside radius where it's slightly less steep otherwise we get stuck no matter how gently you touch the accelerator. Even in summer if you cut the corner onto the steeper...

Yes, but roadside recovery is also normally included in all Spanish insurance policies - even 3rd party only ones. I'm not 100 % sure (even after 20 yrs here! ) how it actually works, but it seems that a lot of garages have a recovery truck (grúa) and are registered on some central DB. If you...

Ours is really, really, quiet - our neighbour actually asked why it didn't make "that whirring sound" other evs make. On the plus side, you can slide up right behind pedestrians jay walking on the road and scare the 5hi7 out of them by hitting the horn long and hard.

€394 (approx £327) with Liberty Seguros for fully comp including breakdown cover & recovery with a €600 excess.

Maybe the issue was that your wife's name isn't Debbie?

I can't remember fir sure, without going down to the garage, but isn't it a setting in the weather forecast pane? I'll check a bit later.. Edited 11:29. Try the weather pane, upper right cog wheel for settings. Then turn on "Weather Broadcast". I think that includes the date & time. If it's not...

As posted in the original "custom greeting messages" thread some of my go to ones I set up at night for the entertainment of my better half in the morning are: Have you trodden in something? Hello Sailor. Are you looking for a good time? Please don't pick your nose at traffic lights Can you...

+1. That's how we use it. It can make for a smoother and more controlled start when starting off downhill on a steep or slippery hill.

Just on one year - 11801km. I've emailed the dealer regarding a warranty claim, but not heard anything back from them.

We live here and tend to use the Iberdrola chargers when out & about. Around our area there are loads in Mercadona supermarkets parking if you do spend over €15 you get 2 hrs extra parking so can scoot off for a couple of beers & tapas while charging). Also they've got 50kW as well as 23kW...

Just joined the club - side of driver's seat has split.

We just ordered and fitted the Sakura dog guard which seems excellent. Bit of a push to get the hooks onto the headrest supports even with the long screws if you use the extension "wings" - I might buy two longer (85mm) M6 bolts tomorrow after seeing how it "beds in". But, thus far, it looks...
