That is a shiny car

I bought a cable from Halfords last year and had no problem getting Apple Car Play to work with it.

Yes you should lol

Just done mine now although the car tax wasn’t due until 31 May. So it’s now dated 1 March.

Just rang them and they said the car is covered until 1 January 2026. I didn’t know that the cover worked like that unless it’s something the dealer has done that I purchased the car from. I assumed the car was only covered for 12 months and then if you had the car serviced at the dealer you...

Does anyone know how the AA cover works. I bought the car new it was registered 31 May but I didn’t complete the purchase till 9 June as I had to get my previous car that I was part exchanging a new windscreen before we could complete the purchase. We took a service plan out a few days after...

It might appear to be but they do have some 50kw rapid chargers that are free to use for Charge Place Scotland card holders.

The back end of your statement is where the pcp is a good deal as you say you can keep your big payment in the bank gaining interest until it’s time to pay off the balance.

Same here when I got mine

I used the CPS charger at Coylton Activity Centre just before Xmas which worked well with the CPS card.

I charged at those both going to Scotland and on the return using my Octoverse app going up and managed to get the card to operate on the return journey. Which worked out fine as I get a discount with Octoverse.

No I was talking about the one off the M6 at Kingstown Retail park near Carlisle

I certainly wasn’t hogging a 350 kW charger there was always spare spaces whilst we there. I don’t think there are many cars that can take 350 kW anyway. I know ours is capable of taking 137 kW as I had tried it on a MFG charger near home and I was mightily impressed. I didn’t sit at the...

I am currently up in Scotland visiting family but I used Zapmap and found some IONITY chargers at Starbucks just off the M6 junction 44 on the way up. They are rapid 350 kW chargers the contactless/RFID portal says coming soon. So you either have to scan a QR code or the IONITY app unless you...

I have found it, just had a thought that I had seen Burl Solomons talking about battery heating in one of his videos. So if I should require to use it I know where it is.

Can you switch the battery heating on in the app or do you have to do it in the car? On the last podcast Miles was saying it’s not really necessary in this country as we don’t get it as cold as Finland for example. Unless you are going to a rapid charger that’s not far away from a cold start...

A couple of months ago at a local MFG charger I got this. Started off at 19% and took 24 minutes to get to 80%. Highly impressed with that

The only issue I had initially after some problems signing up at first was with the Zappi Firmware. So just make sure yours is up to date. Otherwise I haven’t had any problems particularly last night I set the octopus app to add 50% and everything went as per the schedule. Other than setting...

If you use the Octoverse card it comes out a bit cheaper

Burl Solomons has a YouTube video where he uses an old credit card to prise it up. I have indeed done the same to route the usb cable up.
