UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I will, still under the warranty so want to do some research first as they will try to squirm out..I'd be playing the fault existed at time of purchase and should be repaired FOC. Warranty/wear and tear shouldn't come into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I was driven home tonight in a Leaf taxi, I was alarmed at the rate that the battery % dropped over a 20 mile journey. I will need a lot of convincing that electric is the way forward. ETA, the driver said that charging wasn't a problem to him as the company he worked for had a car on charge and when his car battery was depleting , he just swapped over. f**k that.

pub car king Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Electric cars are still in their infancy but have progressed at some rate. That said the range and time taken to charge is still the issue until they can be fully charged in the time it takes to fill up with fuel they're not going to be a viable option for a lot of people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 One of the other issues with electric cars is their second hand rate, not flushed out yet as difficult to ascertain average costs of cell changes. Oh and you can't hear the fuckers creeping up on you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your cars just bought and under warranty, and develops a fault, dont hum, haw and speculate about what's gone wrong. You have the right to take it back to the seller (who potentially knows what the issue is), and they have the right to get one attempt to sort it. Going down any other route just muddies the waters if you reach the stage of handing the car back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 This. If your cars just bought and under warranty, and develops a fault, dont hum, haw and speculate about what's gone wrong.

Going down any other route just muddies the waters if you reach the stage of handing the car back.I am taking it back this week, I emailed them on Friday and will drop it in. I was just trying to do some independent research in meantime. I obviously thought, quite incorrectly, that out of the 49k registered members on P&B that one person might understand the mechanisms of a faulty Duel mass flywheel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
