    That’s why we use Cleevely EV for our cars. However we could go down the Nissan dealer version, which is as follows: 1. Plug in leaf spy Nissan version, print out the battery check. 2. Top Up washer fluid. 3. Wash the car with a bucket someone pissed into (if you don’t know the reference, watch EVM). 4. Done. 5. £199 please 👍🏻 Oh there’s also a £299 version which is the same but involves checking the brake fluid, whilst claiming it’s been drained and replaced. And erm, sadly I experienced this with them. Once.

    Ironically these are all the faults I need to fix with my 20yo ICE :) Shocks, rear brakes, cw-boots etc. In addition to loads of corrosion. And the worst part, I don't really have alternatives. "U" in "SUV" stands for anything but "Utility" these days. 22" alloys with barely any rubber on them and 0-60 times worthy of M5 from some yesteryear. Are you bloody kidding me? At the moment I can only hope that LDV T60 EV they tested in New Zealand would also be sold in Europe. But even then - it is €40k+. Not sure I'm ready to pay that much for a vehicle I intend to use in it's utilitarian capacity extensively.
    I'm hopefully be able to afford second-hand Kona in a year or two. But I will still need something utilitarian to do dirty work. And there is nothing coming. Unless Ford Ranger (even though I would prefer boot that is part of a cabin) suddenly gets a drivetrain from F150, than I will by it two years later, hands down.

It feels more natural, and my hand pulls out of the handle sort of automatically as part of the arm motion. I suppose it's personal preference. Maybe I'll turn the one on my LEAF around.

    @NeilWNC 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's always welcome to see other Leaf owners sharing their "how-to" info, based on real-world experience. However, the presenter lost me when, early in the video, she used a hot-melt glue gun to do body repair. Can't speak for their area, but even here in New England cars can get SUPER hot sitting in the sun, certainly hot enough to soften or at least break down the glue. Short answer -- DON'T DO THIS!!!
    She also used a spray lubricant on the charging port door, something I would not do. There's too much risk of getting grease inside the connector, thus putting at risk the electrical contacts. Even if the oil doesn't itself hurt the connection, it will attract and hold dirt and grime which will. Again, avoid.

    • @Jamesandkate
      @Jamesandkate  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Two questions: what lubricant did you use for the hinges etc at the beginning please? I can't remember if WD40 is a no-no for those parts. The other one is: what are DTC's on your diagnostic machine please?
    Lovely thorough service, can't wait for the day to come when I have a used ev for you to look after! Thanks for videoing it for us Kate. 👍

      As far as I know WD 40 shouldn’t be used on the dampers rather a silicone spray as it won’t damage the rubber seals.

      No worries. We use white PTFE for the latches and dry PTFE for the hinges and rams. No WD40 was used.

      DTC = Diagnostic Trouble Code - issues (usually indicated by the check engine light) stored in the car's computer - the code narrows/details the system/location of the issue.

    You really should not be touching around high voltage components unless you’re sure there is no high voltage flowing and/or your service disconnect is out and you let the capacitor drain.

      Most EVs have two or more loops of coolant - one for HVAC system, one for motor/inverter and another for the battery (which the Leaf doesn't use - it is air cooled)
