Hell, that'd be good... I am taking it in next week to have them look at another issue (foot brakes not releasing properly when reversing each morning after parking on a sloped drive) and they say they'll look at the heating issue too... I will mention the possibility of the Freon being an...

Thanks fella, yeah, actually, come to think of it... I do recall wondering why the aircon was so bad on a particularly warm day when I used the AC (generally I don't use it, just open a window!) - so that seems to confirm that it's the Heat Pump then?

Hi @knightmb I did the test and could not hear anything substantial up front, fan was on, blowing warm. Then later on, I tried with the heat full blast and AC ON... and what do you know, warm, air while driving! That's bloody weird, but as an emergency measure, works... I only tried it once, so...

Thank you @knightmb ! I will have a look tomorrow...

Interesting... from that it seems it's not the PTC Or Heat Pump as temps have not reached freezing yet, and the heat has not worked at all with the AC off. I will try again with AC on, though I have already done that inadvertently by pressing the demist button where AC comes on with the...

Yikes... Ok thanks... I may have to get an extra sweater and gloves instead!

Hi guys, thank you very much for the input. But what is a PTC? Is it expensive to repair? Tx Mark

Ok thanks.

Hello all, How does one tell the state of the 12v battery? I don't see that in settings... tx Mark.

Hi all, For some reason I don't understand, my car warms up when I set it to heat up 15 mins before I leave the house to drive... but when I am driving it blows cold air only. The seat and steering wheel heat work. Do you know what this might be ? (PS - I'm not very savvy on the tech terms...

I must say, I detest this stupid ok thing too. A bad way to start my drive every day.

Thanks for the info, I will check that out. I see you have replaced your main battery too. It seems there are people in the USA who have custom fit a 40kw into an older Leaf, I'd be curious as to whether a 2015 leaf could take one of these new 64kw batteries... now THAT would be amazing.

Thanks, Ok, I suppose I have ICE in mind, to turn off when I get home... WRT the 12v, is there any reference which explains under which modes/circumstances it will be charged? cheers Mark

Hi there, I got my car today, very excited. So if I turn off the car and then press the start button once, will the radio then be using the car battery. I noticed the radio had a little battery charge meter on it which shows very low batter, while the car was about 60%. Does that mean I was...

Hi, thanks for the response. So when I get home, to get to Ready Mode, I first turn off the car and then press the button once (without footbrake) ? Or is there a way to get from ON to Ready without going off first? Thanks again, Mark.
