iantt Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 If you mean the spaceship noise, that's supposed to be there to warn pedestrians your reversing as there's no engine noise to warm them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Lancaster Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 I rang ford and they said was it a Plug-in hybrid, I said it was and he said that's normal, so I'm fine with that! And also, the charging cable they give you, can you just plug straight into a 13amp socket! Thank You! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Yes you can plug into a 13 amp socket. But I would check after 30 mins to see if the socket is getting warm. Old worm out sockets can get hot due to resistance, poor fitting . If that's the case I wouldn't charge using that particular socket. Also don't use extension leads for the same reason. Your not wanting a fire to break out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge of Reason Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 @unofixI’ve been absent from the forums for a while and doing some serious catch up this evening. I feel your sarcasm has really taken on new depths 😂. I’ve been ***** myself laughing at some of your one liners over the past few months !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
