1) There are many ways to test a battery. I suspect the dealer did not do a proper test. It sounds like the mobile mechanic did a reasonable job of testing the battery. A drop test involves putting a big load on the battery and checking it can kick out ~100amps. If it can, the voltage should only 'd...

It could have been pre-existing damage. Has the battery ever gone flat?

Are there any tell tale witness marks on the a pillar (Near to where a wing mirror would be). I imaging a hard clout if it hasn't dropped 1cm would probably weaken it

Thanks for that, I hadn't observed as many scenarios, but that seems to ring true with my observations of having the bm2 for less than a week. The 13.3v charging is dumb. 13.3v isn't enough to really charge it properly, and the HV charging normally completes relatively quickly on a 7kw wallbox. No w...

I would avoid using a 12v charger at the same time as charging the HV battery. My observations with the bm2 is that when the HV battery is charging, the 12v receives a dumb charge of 13.3v continuously whilst the HV is charging. This will confuse the external 12v charger and potentially lead to trou...

I will ask if the part number was superceded, I hope so otherwise it will become an expensive consumable (hate to think of the price of them!)

Booked in for the 22nd, they said it was a 'big job' so I assume that means more than a couple of hours. I suspect they'd have to take the window out.

If the 12v has gone down to 3, it's definitely damaged and will never charge up to full capacity again. You can pick up a cheapy battery from eurocarparts for a little over 50. The yuasa from Halfords is closer to 90. Tomorrow I'll see if I can fit the larger battery as it's barely any extra cost bu...

Welcome, I'm just about to have both my door handles replaced under warranty. It is a semi-common issue so even if you are out of warranty, worth asking your dealer. There is a loom for the 'official' dashcam that intercepts something under the dash. There is a post on here with the manual, it may w...

Welcome - it would be great to hear your feedback about how you feel the 2 compare.

Hello, New person here, just signed up to report this issue on our 21 plate e today. Wife drove it this morning for the school run all normal, its been sat on the drive all day. About 5pm the alarm starts going off and none of the key fobs will shut it off. Alarm stops after a while and everything ...

So I was wondering has it been trying to update all night and that has caused the battery to go flat? I suspect this may be the case - it seems coincidence mine also went flat on wednesday night, and after jumpstarting, i had the notification about an update. My wifi does not stretch to the car fro...
