I agree it is likely the EGR cooler at fault. The new part cost is not bad; the labour cost will depend how difficult it is to access it.

Roger. It's unfortunate nobody has replied, but you seem to be coping well.

How did you get on at the garage Terry?

Given that the filter has been altered I'd be very concerned that other modifications have been made which you have not discovered yet: mapping, suspension, CRV for examples, that would affect reliability MOT and insurance. Without written evidence of changes from the vendor and a full service history I would return it for a refund.

Fair enough, but note there are three communication links involved: [1] Car to Ohme EVSE. That is hard wired via the charging cable so I doubt that is faulty. [2] Car to your phone application. Presumably that is via mobile or wifi, or a mixture of both. [3] Phone application to EVSE. Again presumably that is via mobile or wifi, or a mixture of both. That's why I suspected wifi. For my own part I abandoned six EVSEs (also wrongly called chargers), partly because of wifi difficulties and partly because of inadequate software in the car, and returned to 3 pin plug in equipment with a delay timer.

Paul. Your first picture shows there to be a communication error with the car so I guess a wifi problem.

To travel all that distance for an old car shows real dedication.

Electrical continuity may seem to be fine, but it often happens that the insulation of the cables inside the corrugated rubber bellows between door and frame is cracked, allowing the circuit to short out erratically. They need a visual inspection, not just an electrical test, including the drivers door which is the master that controls all the others.

Done.

I see the logic of forward to go forward and vice versa, but the actuality has always been the opposite for me, and I have never questioned it.

Perhaps Gareth or Steve can answer. Any idea chaps?

I am not sure. Somewhere on your post, possibly within the three dot menu, should be a button. I would do it for you if I could, but I don't have that option.

Filip. I can't answer your question, but whatever you fit you need to change both front springs for a matched pair. Not all springs of the same notional grade are identical, and in any case springs weaken as they age.

Glad to read it. You should mark your post as Solution.

I have had many automatic cars over the last forty years, both petrol and electric. They have all been backwards for Drive, forwards for Reverse.

Do please report on your experience.

Do please report on your experience.

The thermostat is jammed open.

In that case I suggest the help of an auto electrician is needed.

Does that mean the battery is not properly coded to the car?

I am delighted you can not do this now. Perhaps the world will survive a little longer.

Neil. Aaron has not returned to the forum for six years so it's unlikely you will get a reply. In regard to your son's car I suggest you delay purchase until you have seen written evidence of its service history.

No, I only had a radio that was tuned to a single station. My satnav was a separate independent device updated once per year from a computer.

That sounds very plausible.

Possibly there is a dedicated button on the dash for setting the TPMS. That arrangement was common some years ago.
