Does anyone have any experience of driving on Eco mode please? If so what are the advantages and disadvantages. Many thanks.

Is it a problem with the charging gun securing pin? Try opening the bonnet and pulling on the yellow pin emergency release cable.

Thanks James. I can only charge to 179 miles regardless of the temperature. I understand why, depending on driving style and road conditions, I am most unlikely to achieve a range of 179 miles but I was curious to know if I could improve on that mileage when charging - get more into the tank...

Our August 2023 Funky Cat will only charge to 179 miles at a 100% charge or 144 miles on the usual 80% charge. This is somewhat short of the advertised 193 miles. Does anyone know please how to persuade the car to increase the charged range.

Hello. As I mentioned, I do not use the ORA app. I simply follow the process I described and I have no problems. Check that your charger is functioning as it should. I have an Ohme charger which has an app. I discovered some time ago that the charger was off line (the cure is, as always, turn...

Thanks for that info. I believe you have to have the Tesla app and an account to use the chargers. I wasn’t sure if it was possible, because of the way the charging software is set up, to charge an ORA on a Tesla charger.

Should anyone intend to use Le Shuttle there a couple of points of interest: 1) the non-Tesla chargers on the UK side are out of use. They have been blocked off by a temporary road scheme. 2) There are new DC chargers in the French terminal provided by Energie. The instructions on the chargers...

Hello John. Ours shows V1.0 even though the car has had two updates; one to deal with the Gridserve spark problem and the other to deal with the overheating 13amp charge cable. I am not sure but I believe that updates will be notified on the car's messaging system.

I was under the impression (based on comments on this forum and elsewhere) that the principle problem was that of lack of spares. This lack meant that a car could not be repaired after an accident and so had to be written off. We can only hope that GWM decides to ship adequate spares to...

Self adhesive velcro strips?

Yes, I know that. The object of my exercise was to get an idea of the premium that I would have to pay next August. I posted the result of my search just by way of nothing in particular. Please ignore my post.

After my post last evening I did a "Compare the Market" exercise to see what sort of a shock I might be in for next August. The results are attached and my £800 estimate was not wide of the mark. Let's hope it stays that way!

Are these quotes based on the “unknown car” principle (despite the Thatcham d/b entries by ORA UK) or is there a monumental rip off exercise going on? The Guardian reported recently that car insurance premiums had increased by about 33% in the UK but only 2% in France. We insured our Funky Cat...

ORA UK is organising the distribution of the two apps. I have asked ORA UK about this on a couple of occasions and the replies I received are posted above.

Hello Garacio. So far as I can see Ireland is installed in my GPS/Sat Nav. I have just installed maps for France and Belgium and, remembering your original post, I entered Dublin in the search panel, the city appeared and I was invited to save the destination. Dublin is apparently 411kms (253...

Apple Car Play and Android Auto for the UK are in final beta testing. It won't be long; a little more patience is required!

I noticed that the traction battery voltage is 337v. That's just over half the voltage of a London Underground train!

Thanks Vic. The odd thing is that the mats supplied with our car and those you have ordered came/come with reinforced holes intended to fit over studs fitted to the floor. We have no studs!

I went to SpecSavers and can now see the jacking points!

That is very interesting Damian. Where did it come from? I could not see the jacking points on the diagrams; should I have gone to SpecSavers?
