PS on the railway signal box nearby

Spotted again this morning. Had neither pen nor paper with me to leave a note Based upon the window stickers of causes the driver supports, I conclude the car must live on Ynys Môn / Anglesey I asked in the Coop if it belonged to a staff member but was told it isn’t

I don’t know about the broader EV world, but BMW i3 prices are all over the place. @Skipton01 , I think, bought from BMW Park Lane. What Michael didn’t reveal, and what it took me a little while to discover, is this prestigious address is the source of the least expensive used BMWs in the UK...

An update: talked landlord into installing Ohme home Pro charger in the garage bought a high spec BMW i3s 94Ah REx charging on Intelligent Octopus (7.5p/KWh) loving it!

Simon I fitted Vredestein Quatrac to mine 185/50 R16 81H; only because CrossClimates weren’t available in that size I think you have more choice in your size I was very pleased with the Quatracs

148.99 for diesel on Ynys Môn/Anglesey this week

I appreciate the changing driving habits. That particular 125 mile journey takes around 2 hours 15 minutes so doesn’t involve a break. On a longer journey I would take a break in any case, simply to reduce fatigue: I have never been comfortable driving for hours on end I will look into the...

Great response! Thank you Michael The journey from home to visit my mother in Lancashire is 125 miles; rather an annoying distance in relation to i3 range :) I think I will need to look for either the 94AH REx or the 120Ah BEV I quite fancy a car with Apple CarPlay; from what I read that was...

Thank you @3wheeler

@Alan_uk excellent post, thank you Excuse my ignorance Obviously, in common with ICE cars, electric cars have wheels, steering components, brakes, suspension, … Where do you see the maintenance issues please?

Another A2 is not an option for me. I have loved the one I had for 13 years

Tbh that’s not much of a reasoned argument ;)

My ATL 90, owned from 2009, has recently bitten the dust (crankshaft failure). WOM have bought it from me with a view to resurrect as/when time/parts allow I had long considered the i3, but was hoping to wait until I have SolarPV, home battery, et cetera before making that switch. I am presently...

Excuse me! Why do you presume my car was badly maintained? WOM changed the timing chain in 2020; the DMF never gave a problem, and was wrongly diagnosed when the crankshaft had broken (on the ramp, screwdriver between engine and gearbox there was play: garage presumed DMF Once DMF was ordered...

I have no idea what that is meant to mean

Update: WOM are buying the car from me with a view to fixing it / keeping another A2 on the road Andy @Clackers decided on Saturday morning that the car was too good to break. Andy contacted Rob @chumsofmanutd; we have spoken; …fast forward; Rob collecting the car tomorrow Local garage DMF...

do you have one spare? 😊

No idea. My plan would have been to ultimately replace with an electric car, but that would have also included a solar PV array (and battery; heat pump; et c) As I am presently renting an apartment, that isn’t an option

LUK DMF cost £510.01 plus £113.08 import duty/tax if anyone is interested If not it is going back to Italy in the next week Can provide invoices

Apologies: crankshaft Will edit original post
