    Fan noise when pulling away

    Hi all. I'm starting to think that it is indeed the pump for the battery heating and cooling. Perhaps this is linked to the cold weather at the moment but I've never noticed this noise before. i might try and see which relay is clicking over and that should explain it!

    Fan noise when pulling away

    Hi all, I have a 2016 94Ah REX (UK Spec) and I've recently noticed that when pulling away and getting to approx 10mph a relay clicks in the dash and a fan noise starts in the back somewhere.

Google is your friend, but in summary earlier units were fitted with a B32 RCBO which on occasion trips and burns out the neutral cable connection on the top. Later units are fitted with a D40 RCBO. I have a current clamp on my...

    Auto stop charging depending on SOC

    Hi, I've done something similar here but the control is in the charger, not the car. Not SoC autostop but charging is proportional to PV output and zero when there is no PV output. Charging kicks in again when the sun comes out and follows PV output. It's a long thread but check out:-...
