If you get it to that screen then press+hold either of the buttons if will then re-learn the current tyre pressures.

Say you wanted to reduce them for some reason (dunno why). Then your TPM would start to flash telling you they were low, so you go to the setting and press the button so it re-learns what is now normal.

TL:DR = RTFM smile
RTFM! I'm a man i don't do that smile

Cheers, will give it a go

Unless you're changing the tyre pressures then you just leave it alone I think.

Button on the right hand side of the dash, it turns back on each time you start the car though.

Lower right by right knee, next to charger release flap. Up to 18mph I think. You can select the least annoying one and it keeps that but indeed cannot turn off. Health n safety guv. If anyone finds out which fuse kills it, let me know please.

Anyone getting electrical interference in your household appliances when the damn thing's charging?

The high pitched charge whine is coming through my induction hob and plasma tellly in the front room (the LCD in the family room is ok). fking annoying.

I've had to set the charge scheduler to kick in after midnight.

Rang BG a couple of days ago and no call back yet. Only just noticed the plasma telly doing it too as don't sit in here much. Bizzare anyway and christ knows how you would suppress it.

I am reasonably sure it has buggered up my powerline networking kit.

In my hours of trawling I've seen quite a few reports of interference with various things.

No one seems to know what causes it though.

Are your wired into the consumer unit ?

Just on a socket using the granny cable until my install on Tuesday.

I'm interested in the noise issues some are having. Sounds to me like it may be down to RFI caused by the rectifier side of car's AC/DC/AC convertor. As this issue seems to affect a small but significant minority I wonder if there are any common factors in those installations? Please list the following info about your charger installation.

Has your charger been installed or are you using a granny lead [Y/N]:

Where your charger has been installed -
What is the make/ type of the charger e.g. British Gas/ Chargemaster, Rolec etc.:
What is the rating of your charger e.g. 16A/3kW, 32A/7kW:
Supply circuit - Is this a circuit from within your household Consumer Unit?: [Y/N]
Supply circuit - Is this a circuit from within your garage Consumer Unit?:[Y/N]
Supply circuit - is it from a dedicated circuit separate from your household and/ or garage CU e.g a separate CU with the supply taken from your supply meter tails?:[Y/N]
Do you have any florescent lights installed in your home/ garage (please detail which): [Home/ Garage/ Both]

Both of mine have interfered with my microwave. Apparently there is no fix it's something to do with the A/C charging unit built into the car.

Guys with CYC I thought once you registered it was free, it wants £20 for a card so do you buy the card and then charging is free or ?

some CYC chargers are free, others are paid (usually 15p/kWh

you have to register a credit / debit card with them to cover potential bills

you don't need the card, you can activate the chargers with the app on your phone, but it is safer to have the card too because a common fault with borked chargers is the connectivity needed to make the app work (apparently)

Had my first drive after a 1 hour garage familiarisation session. I can listen to 5 live streaming from my iPhone so that's ok, the nav is over complicated it took me ages to add home to the home button and it takes longer than it should to get around the interface. I have set up my favourites so it's all easy to get and done Anna's as well but I've turned on a hideous speed camera warning that will be disabled soon SPEED CAMERA IN 300 yards etc .
Glovebox is a joke but did you guys notice the pocket in the back of the passenger seat ? Takes the manual pack perfectly.

Driving it, well none of you have said how real world fast it is, perfect pick up and on the motorway I got to an easy 80 keeping up with other traffic but on normal urban driving I don't think much normal stuff would keep up with it .
You sit high in a Zoe, I am only 5'7" but have short legs and long body as such I sit high up but it's comfy and the adjustable wheel helps.
HVAC - ok it's ok but on occasion it blows cold, yes it's freezing but the car is fine just occasional blasts of cold air. I swear the seats get hot air through them or a vent underneath - will investigate.
Voice activation for nav utterly useless really no use after 10 goes of saying Burrell rise I gave up

Anyone add anything .?
