Re: Cold weather mpg in Hybrid 230

Yep, that seems about right and in line with what I get. The engine needs to generate heat for the climate control in the car and it cannot do this in EV mode so it keeps the ICE going even if there's plenty of power in the batteries. When doing small journeys and not getting the engine warmed up qu...

Re: 20 mph speed limit Wales 17th September

From experience, as my village is now all 20mph, it’s 100% picked up by the camera “reading” the road signs. Makes no difference to the idiots who still do 40-50mph on the lane where I am though 🙄

Re: Dash cam fitting, wiring from rear mirror

@philhornby The dash cam can be placed wherever you want it to be as you would do with any other power source. The Dongar kit piggy backs off the power lead for the auto-dimming function of the rear view mirror but the only thing you see is the power lead coming down from the roof lining as you woul...

Re: Dash cam fitting, wiring from rear mirror

I don’t come on here that much - perhaps I should more often as I’ve been wanting to get a dashcam but didn’t want to hard-wire myself or have cables dangling. Halfords wouldn’t fit to a hybrid and the Hyundai dealer wanted extortionate money to fit a Nextbase 322GW (the only model they offer) which...

Re: Replacement windscreen

Not had any experience with my Hyundai but had 2 replacement windscreens fitted by National on my previous car, a Jaguar XF, which needed the calibration done in order for all the camera driven protection systems to perform correctly. They provided a 6 page computer printout showing it had all been ...

Quite impressed so far - been driving like an old lady so far while I get used to it but have averaged 54mpg for the first 100 miles of mixed roads. Only reason I bought it was becaus...
