Yes, the information dial straight in front of the steering wheel not the Infotainment screen, not sure what its correct name is.

Yes, I had a Low battery Key fob warning on the round screen, but it only appeared once.

Thanks for all the advice, I never bother to swap tyres front to back as I prefer to change tyres 2 at a time rather than fork out for 4 in one go.

The front tyres on my SEL 1.5 manual, Bridgestone Turanzas on 18" rims have been very noisy especially on some motorway surfaces have also worn quite quickly (14,000 miles) and in this wet weather have poor grip although the tread is now fairly low. What would owners advise as a replacement?

They may not fit. There are two types of mud flap to match the different wheel arches, no doubt someone on here will be able to advise whether the Sports line is the same as the SEL Is it worth changing them? They are hardly expensive!

"PLUS, I'm helping save the planet !! " Do you really believe that? Electric vehicles are clean while being driven and no doubt bring benefits of cleaner air to City centres but what about the pollution caused during manufacture and especially producing the batteries not to mention disposal of the batteries when spent. Compared to a conventional petrol or diesel car I doubt very much that the overall saving by going electric amounts to very much if everything is considered, politicians are quick to claim the benefits but much slower to acknowledge the true figures. An old say 2000's car kept running for 20 years is I believe much greener if everything is considered when compared to modern cars that many folk change every 3 years. Provided they are kept out of city centres. If all cars were electric how would the National grid cope? With several Nuclear generating sites closing over the next few years electricity is going to be on a knife edge anyway without the huge demand a surge in electric vehicles would bring. Just my opinion.

Measuring the voltage of a battery alone can be misleading as you are reading the voltage with a high resistance voltmeter so the battery is effectively on open circuit ( i.e.no current flowing). Voltages of 2.77 and 2.5 are both low and suggest duff batteries. Perhaps the fob is discharging your batteries? Even if the battery voltage read 3.0 volts there is still the possibility that it would not deliver sufficient current.
