How do you open boot if cable has snapped mine alarms because it doesn't see the boot closed
@RichManPoorMotors23 күн бұрын
If the cable has snapped I’m not sure but under the bonnet fuse box pull fuse 14 or 15 (don’t drive with fuse removed as it dose other circuits this will alow the boot to open with the key blipper, try that otherwise I don’t know without damaging the boot

Thanks for the video.. I done this earlier.. but no my boot won't open and when I drive past 20mph it keep making a bleeping/dinging sound
@RichManPoorMotorsАй бұрын
The beeping boot not opening is because the sensors are telling the car that the roof isn’t fully closed The sensors are the roof into a pillar left right The rams (c pillar) for lifting the roof not fully up left and right Or the boot catch rear centre not fully rotated These can be done but pushing catches with screwdriver fully closed a pillar, lifting rams in c pillar hydraulics this is a bit tricky but can be done again using a screwdriver or a socket under rams while you close roof, and the boot tines can be closed in the boot lock by pushing with a screwdriver. To open boot pull a fuse in engine bay I think for memory it is f14 or f15 this will allow you to open boot but replace fuse before driving as it also dose other important circuits once all done beeping will stop, fault is most likely a broken wire in the wiring loom attached to the boot mechanism on left hand side

This video is deliberately misleading and spreading misconceptions. You could have summarized this video with: CCS standard has won, buy yourself a car with ccs plug and you will be fine. The industry is also considerate and does not leave folks in the dark that put their early money on the Japanese standard.

How is demonstrating that the car used can’t be charged at the charging stations shown is misleading.

Up until recently I had a leaf, it's only in the last year I've noticed Chademo numbers going down and CCS replacing them, but there's still thousands around that will likely outlast any gen 1 and 2 leaf - The type 2 only option on the Zoe was always going to limit it to home charging, even when it came out that was obvious - When 100% of new cars are ccs in europe and have been for a couple of years (and ccs > chademo adapters exist now) really the question to ask when buying an ev is "does it have ccs and if not are you 100% sure you will ONLY charge at home?".
