A voltage test doesn`t necessarily mean the battery is healthy its amps that give the battery its power it needs a load/drop test!

To add to that a cheap multimeter for any car electrical work is priceless :)
I would also add an OBD11 code reader they are not that expensive but are worth having your own access to fault finding.

Re: EV the future ?

The first thing that decides if I am going to consider buying a car is how its looks appeal to me and on that basis I struggle with EV`s -

The Tesla Model Y - £46,990 - £59,990. :shock: :puke:

Scott at RRP explained to me that it was all about the flash point and that the magnatec A5 catered for that with no problems. He said that a 10w40 oil does not.

That is a bit of a can of worms you have opened there. :-k

The same for me but I do only drive it on dry, salt free winter days!

Re: Spoiler loose

Well its not a PZ so the spoiler may have just been glued on - me thinks it needs some screws as well if it hasn`t got any, you really wouldn`t want to be following at 70 mph if it came off! :-k
