Thanks for that, I will pump them up some more!!

I had the same thing and when I checked the pressures they all seemed fine (about 30psi, which reminds me I didn't look up what the spec is). I just put a couple more pounds in each tyre and the problem is resolved.

I'm only a few weeks ahead of you, and a numpty, so my non-technical response is: I charge my PHEV via a standard socket and an extension lead and a RCD (residual current device). There is a thread on the forum somewhere with all the in's and out's of using extension leads. ICE on this forum...

I'm 6' 6" and find the PHEV mega comfy over long journeys, so maybe you didn't get the seat fully adjusted. The only annoyance on long journeys is seeing the petrol gauge go down!!

I'm going through this with my dealer at the moment - less than 1 year old PHEV and service book says warranty ends after 3 years but there is a section in warranty terms and conditions that states that Electric Vehicle components have a 5 year warranty. So if it has a 5 year warranty why do...

Many thanks for the useful info Neverfuel, but I think the numpty tag is safe with me for a while! Just a quick question on extension leads. I have a 'heavy duty' type extension lead with built in RCD that I was planning to use, are there any real safety or warranty issues if this is used?

Hi Folks, I am picking my new (to me) PHEV up tomorrow, less than a year old with 2.5K miles on it. I'm a private buyer and just loved the way the PHEV drove, and with 80% of my journeys being under 40 mile round trips I thought I'd give hybrid motoring a try. Anyway, I have found this forum...
