If your 23 miles took 2hrs 23 mins to charge it cost £1.04. My 1.2 EAT8 would have cost £3.81 at 40mpg and petrol at £6.60 per gallon. I hope my sums are ...

Re: New Member

There are a few quirks and the one that is almost intolerable is that to alter any cabin climate feature you have to use the piano key to access the right screen meaning your eyes are off the road for longer than is strictly necessary. A handy control knob etc would be a safer solution.

Re: My Peugeot App

My Peugeot App

This works very spasmodically. The last record is Nov 19th despite the car being used most days. Is anybody else having problems?

Re: EAT8 Auto - Leave in DRIVE at the traffic lights?

I go into neutral, apply the parking brake and the engine stops if all things let it. Try that.

Re: Build date

I think you are a bit impatient. I ordered a 3008 Allure Premium on Jan 20th 2021. On March 3rd I was told the build date to be March 26th.On April 22nd I was told car would be delivered to dealer April 26th and I collected it 3 days later, a total of 14 weeks and this was before the chip shortage!
