Re: So disappointed

keep it in overnight to trickle charge the battery... Good luck with that. It can take days to recondition a 12V battery and even then it doesn't always work. If they don't change it sit in the car park with engine off headlights on and all your other electric bits. Watch the volts drop and throw t...

Re: So disappointed

Neil, the charge system service now message has nothing to do with lack of driving. It has everything to do a fault on the mhev system. Roast that manager next time :)

Re: Engine management light

15 what, minutes, days, miles, boyfriends?

Re: Engine management light

Two different faults. Exhaust emission sensor is the lambda or oxygen senor screwed into the exhaust. Sounds like wiring fault.

The DC/DC converter fault is more interesting. I take it the weather in Fife ain't +50 degrees right now?!

Re: New Etis software update showing "ACM"
