Thanks on regen - really helpful

makes sense

The power outlet is really handy for charging things bigger than phones and running an electric coolbox. For my last car, I built a great flood / work lamp with a cheap LED security lamp and glazier’s double suction cup. Thin cable goes through the rear window hatch which closes on it, the suction cups hold it to the roof and you get daylight behind the car.
The socket is the European style plug so I keep an adapter in the car but I’m sure this could be changed to the UK socket.

FT - That must have been tough, he looked a lovely one too. Our previous one was run-over at just 2.5 years old and I thought the family would never recover so I know how you felt.
Sounds good I’ll put a picture on it’s a 3 pin in the LC250

Covid was I’m sure far worse for many but yes it was difficult
So glad we were able to get Fred - wasn’t easy as his breeder was in N Wales and they closed the border - not good for stress levels !
So far so good with the FE - done a collection and two trips to take Fred and my wife to an area we like for dog walks - Fred likes the configuration and jumps in and out
Read a lot about “wind noise” and tyre noise but not really felt that
I had stick tyres at 36 psi and then reduced to 33 psi but think 36 was giving a better ride part loaded
The engine is noisier than the 4.4 V8 in the L322 but I quite like the “honest” noise it makes when it’s pressing on
The suspension is not as smooth as vehicles with air bags but I didn’t expect it to be - if I can get the tyre position right (probably KO3’s with the right pressure) I’m sure it will be fine
I’m liking the HUD and the whole cabin ambiance - I hate the beeping of the speed level alert and need to get that addressed - what do I switch off or adjust to stop it beeping every time the speed changes and even if I am 1 mph above it ?
Panoramic roof is brilliant
The lack of cabin storage is a pain - looking forward to someone selling cool box compatible trays - not economic to import from the US
Anyone found any quality seat cap storage - I don’t want a massive one that holds drinks as the LCs drinks holders are adequate for me and I really like the padding on the side that I can rest my left knee against
Next challenge is the immobiliser - will post when I have that in hand
