So if the drain was kinked that could have been why it was blocked possibley ??


Yes indeed. It doesn't quite explain why it would have initially watered through & out everywhere but then blocked - but I think I'm going to have to put that last nagging doubt to the back of my mind & enjoy driving it.

It was not coming from inside the crate but rather jetting out elsewhere and running to groung via the case exterior - so thats more explainable.

Seems OK & much as before. I have done just 18 miles (up and down the usual hills) since the maintenance charge and am at 75%. You always seem to get a 'bonus' before it drops below 100% though so that doesn't quite imply 72 miles :)

As you say, a result :D , I'm still interested in a few spare batteries 'just in case' though.

Ahhhhhhhhhh all becomes clear now :oops: I thought from your first post that you had fluid coming from INSIDE the crate and draining out of the center drain hole in the center of the crate.

As you say, get out there and enjoy the EV grin that we all get when we drive these things :roll:
