Anyone have issues with carlinkit messing up with screen scale. Sometimes the taskbar at the bottom doesn't hide and covers some of the android auto screen. Anyone know of a fix?

Can’t help with above but this morning I used the dp link app to mirror google maps to the screen for a 100 mile drive to Heathrow. Worked a great but hopefully coming via ota after Xmas.

For those concerned about going over mileage I just spoke to Stellantis. After 3 payments (deposit plus 2) you can alter the contract. Mine is 10p per mile including vat to go over but they will give me a quote in the new year.

I asked about the T's and C's they have about not going more than 20% over which is a no no and having to ask permission to exceed the contract. She said it was just to force the lessee to contact them to get the mileage on the contract correct and avoid lots of surprises at their end across the 1000 cars or how every many they did.

She said its fine to exceed the mileage but its best to align the contract in the new year.

Get mine on Monday so intrigued how it is going to stack up to my previous cars the MY and M3.

I really do like the look of it so hopefully I won’t be disappointed but I’m not gonna lie the £275 a month no deposit for 15000 miles was far to good to turn down.

That's good to know. I was able to increase my mileage before signing the documents, so did that just in case there would be any issues going more than 20% over 5k miles per year.

A friend’s lease ends in Jan and wondered if anyone had approached LeapMotor in a dealer to improve on the £8k over two years on a 3x23 profile. They’ll prob not go back to the heady days of the £160 deal.

Has anyone had the following message coming up on screen of their C10 whilst driving?

Discharging/V2L Adapter Connected.

I had this come up on the motorway the other day and when I came off and stopped at the first red light the car has shut down, and did not go any further. Needed recovery.

Now the car is back to Leapmotor for inspection after 1 day of use. Anyone had such an issue which has been rectified and has experience what is this?

Don't have the car yet but have seen mentions of this recently on the Facebook group. Worth having a search as it appears a few cars have died with the same error and gone back to the dealer frown

have heard a few had this. I believe the car thinks its plugged in and provding electricity for other things you can power when you are camping for example. and the car shuts down as it thinks they are doing it whilst driving so it gets confiused.some have tricked it by basically plugging in the cable as if they are charging it and it releases altohugh they look odd plugging in a charger in the middle of the road it seems to have worked.

I think an urgent software update is needed to stop this happening again.

Anyone else's windows not clear the water when you open and close them? Not a huge deal but just annoying when I'm doing city driving and you can't see out the windows

This seems to be a modern thing, not just restricted to the C10. Other brands do it.

Tried QDLink today, got Waze up on the screen, but as soon as I moved off the screen went blank with a message about "no screen sharing whilst driving" or similar. What have I done wrong?

How unusual, seems a shame. Wonder why? Maybe so the windows work in ice or something.

Hi, anyone heard anything from Birmingham North? We were originally told the car would be here by end of October. We received an email on 13th October that should be in the UK in 10 days and no, just told in transit. How long does it normally take?

I was told there was a batch of vehicles which would be delivered to the UK by 1st December, but that was back on the first week of November and haven’t heard anything since. If that were to have happened looks like it takes at least a week or two to sort and deliver to customers.

Mine is being delivered tomorrow from Birmingham.

They have been extremely responsive via calls and emails all the way through the process to be fair!

Yeah I reckon a few cars will be handed over in the next couple of weeks. Got our call today - collecting from Hemel next week.

Something to remember, the car doesn't tell you when the charging port isn't closed like some others do so don't be an idiot like me. This has resulted in me snapping off the plastic flap (it's possible I could glue it back on or it's an expensive repair job otherwise, probably) when reversing off the drive as I caught the gate on the way out. My excuse was it was dark and I was in a rush banghead

Has anyone noticed any water ingress through the passenger window, which then sits on the windscreen and won't clear even with the blowers being on max?

There is also no locking wheel nut on mine so it would seem, so if someone wanted to steal the wheels, they probably could bandit but I think this the case across them all.

I was told by the dealer that the early cars had no locking wheel nuts (and that's why he didn't have one for me) but the later cars would as Leapmotor wanted to get the insurance group down.
