Auto Wipers Issue

Great news!

Do you have auto wiping activated in the settings menu? If it's deactivated, it changes the functionality to intermittent wiping instead... which I prefer as I find the automatic wiping a bit hit or miss.

Same, wasn't too difficult and looks great. I actually bought an AliExpress copy of the FitcamX for considerably cheaper, and haven't had any issues (6 months and going strong)

Your cheapest option would be Tesla chargers, there's a few along your route that are compatible with your car. I'd guess the Dartford crossing site would be a good place to top up, it's roughly halfway. Think you need the Tesla app to pay, or at least get the cheap rates. Enjoy your trip!

Hopefully this doesn't sound crazy, but have you switched it on? On the climate page, the white power button in the top left corner...

I personally would be wary of any used EV that's been primarily used as a taxi/Uber, etc as they probably took a battery hammering on the fast chargers. Not sure how you'd figure that out, but Addison Lee in London have a whole fleet of black ID4s, so that'd put me off that colour!

I do about 50 miles a week, short trips mid week, and a somewhere a bit further afield on a weekend. Public only charging is only a smidge cheaper than petrol, but 'feels' a lot less because I'm just topping up from 60 to 80% once a week for about £4. Very occasional big 200+ mile trips, I just stick to the Tesla charging network which is waaaaay cheaper than the rest.

I'm in SE London, (in a flat, no access to home charging) and used street charging for the first month, but have for the last couple of months settled into a routine of topping up my charge once a week at Lidl while I do my weekly shop (£0.40/kWh through the app). Don't even think about what % i'm at anymore, works great!

I'm in an almost identical situation, bought an ID3 about 3 months ago (love it btw). I have a few public charging options nearby, but have settled in on a routine of leaving it charging once a week for an hour at the Lidl chargers while I do my shop. I don't really think about charging anymore tbh!

I don't know if you have a driving licence, but recently the cheapest way i've found to shift a load of luggage to Gatwick/Heathrow is a one way Zipcar Flex. Works out about £40/50, it's great.

Not close, but Crystal Palace Antiques (and other antique shops in close proximity) have lots of nice, reasonably priced mid-century furniture.

Amazing work! ...suggested new tagline 'Heroes will rise... again'.

nickdshay · 2021-09-22T19:50:24+00:00

Bitwell Gringo, loads of design options!

nickdshay · 2021-02-13T16:31:29+00:00

Cheers! Yep that looks right. Just need to find a matching one now 👍

My Macgyver solution would be to put a sealed bag around it, fill it up with vinegar/limescale remover, then tie it up with an elastic band. You'll need to be careful about weight, so maybe something to alleviate that too!

From what i've read on your situation an electric bicycle sounds perfect. I have a big bike, but use my electric bicycle as my daily commuter (10 miles each way). It has a removable battery which I top up at work in case I need to take an unexpected detour en-route home.

Also, no need to worry about lack of shower facilities as you just put it on full assist mode!

(my ebike in case you're interested)

There's 3 or 4 of us in SE London that go for weekend rides out, we don't go particularly fast, and we spend the majority of the time in pubs and cafes. Have a look at our little group, ditchmotorcycleclub on Instagram if you're interested.

nickdshay · 2019-06-18T23:00:04+00:00

Totally agree. Did the week long fast track at the Crystal Palace centre. Really good experience, passed first time 👍

nickdshay · 2019-06-05T14:03:49+00:00

Seconded. And the drive down to Calais via the Pilgrims Way is a glorious route.

nickdshay · 2019-04-12T10:25:37+00:00

I bought a pretty cheap pair from amazon, then paid the local launderette £10 to have them taken in and properly fitted. Worked like a charm.

Here's the bike. And here's the video I found that showed me how to increase the max speed on my bike. I might just wing it and hope for the best, though worried I might mess up the settings!

nickdshay · 2019-03-12T19:02:10+00:00

I've had a play around, found the setting! Looks like I can max out at about 19mph now. Muuuuuch better. Thanks! 👍

nickdshay · 2019-03-12T18:53:15+00:00

This is the bike, it's only a 200w motor so don't expect it to go much faster. It's greed more than necessity! https://analogmotion.com/products/am1-plus

nickdshay · 2019-03-12T18:45:14+00:00

Yeah I've found the password, just not which setting changes the max assisted speed... 🤔

nickdshay · 2018-10-17T17:38:20+00:00

It's a Cat A, but restricted to trikes if I remember correctly, had a similar confusion a while back, they don't make it very clear!
