    Speed warning signs ZS EV

    Last few weeks the speed indicator sign ( white/red/ black circle) is showing spurious speeds, ie 40 on a motorway or 70 on a high street. This can last several miles. Particularly worrying when indicating 40 in a 30 zone. It seems to right itself when passing a roadside speed sign.

    Good for you Chris, I would say 99 times out of 100, the install is straight forward. £150 for 2/3 hrs work is more like it

    Are electricians ripping us off?

    Installed my own two years ago, ohme ( original), new consumer unit in the garage cables, earth rod (stipulated by Ohme) £325 no issues whatsoever. Probably best option is to get a quote from 'non specialist' electrician. The install is straight forward electrical work in most cases.

    You've just saved me 1500 quid, simple push to one side, clip popped in and so far no alarms. I just knew the dealer hadn't checked, simply quoted for new. Cheers Dodger

    Hi, Robert, did you find out how to replace the lower grill? I have a similar problem, the radar unit has sprung slightly and now out of alignment. I think if I knew how to get at it I may be able to fix it
