Well, the 7% per year loss seems steady or even increasing, April 2016 and at 65%, 42.74 hr with the 4th bar gone last month. So no, not 80%. I agree with location, location, location, but its also time, time, time.... the longer you are in the heat it just steadily goes. Hoping to have a little...

Well I'm the exception that proves the rule.. right on 70% (46.31Ah) mid 2015 for a 2011 Leaf. Starting to have to use more and more of capacity, so not expecting the rot to ease up.

I would like to turn off the sat nav altogether... my car still thinks it is in south London, although I moved it to Jamaica!, so I get quiet warning about speed cameras several times a day. It doesn't seem to worry that I'm driving through urban green spaces and houses. Is there any way of...

anyone found a replacement washer pump online?... it seems to be the one part they don't have

Undid the seat and tightened every bolt in sight... still get creaks.. more to do with the backrest than the seat, I guess I'll have another look

Mine has a creak from the drivers seat, maybe the same bolts?

My similar experience to this is charging to 80%, neither hot nor cold, and heading downhill from home, - the regen does not always "work", so I'm going downhill on friction brakes, and if I try "pumping" or lifting off and re-applying, it often comes back, and stays on while I am pressing the...

I didn't know.... but will try the resistor setup.... thanks. When there are NO charging stations, one needs to be sure to take whatever will work to wherever you will need to charge! Thanks again

I'm finding the EVSE's very fussy about grounding.... running a 50Hz 240V (British) Leaf on a powerstar full sine wave (split phase) inverter OK, but when I got a (new, converted) EVSE from California (so I can plug in to the local 110V 50Hz grid) it finds the ground on the inverter missing when...

Just joined... and definitely out of range, I brought a South London Leaf to Jamaica, which is working great. No charging stations of course, but plenty of solar, except charging on a stand alone system is hard work (no intertie either). Huge interest from everyone, with hilarious problems for...

You may find the answer confusing, as I did.... each bar seems to cover a huge range of temperature.. in fact I wonder why they bothered with a gauge, and just put a red (hot) and blue (cold) warning light... my gauge hasn't moved off # 6 ever!
