He's prepping for his next now! Which due to a recent requirement for towing is going to be a PHEV Outlander.

Anyone know about seat covers for Leaf? Gen 1? I am looking at SV model but would like a hard wearing seat covers to put over it. It will be the light colour Suede seats which could get dirty very quickly

Not answering your question, but we have the light coloured seats in one of ours and they are spotless clean and haven't been cleaned since we got the car a few months ago. And we ferry young kids around in it almost daily. The part that seems to get quite dirty is the door card where you grab the handle to close the door. This was dirty when I bought it. I cleaned it, but it has slowly got grubby again.

Its a definite design fault. I carried out major surgery on raising the grime out of a gen 1 recently. Then put it through the nct and of course the VT who carried out the test put his oily and greasy paws all over the cloth handle. Hopefully it will lift out!

We have just gone full EV in our family fleet and the OH is already giving me grief about being restricted by the range in the 30kw Leaf.

So, im considering swopping the leaf for a hybrid or plug in hybrid of similar value ie €18k.

Cars id like are BMW i3 Rex, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Lexus is300h or 200h, Prius PHEV or BEV, Auris or Yaris Hybrid in that order.

My Leaf is 1 owner, 161MH reg in SV spec, red, 45000km, never damaged.
I will add money for the right car.

04-11-2017 11:10am

My Partner wouldn't touch an EV with a mile long barge pole ! She can hardly drive it to the shop and back, 10 kms but panic when she sees 50% charge, forget it.

I'd give serious consideration to the I3 Rex, fantastic car to drive. I'm giving this serious consideration also as the current CCS infrastructure is very poor and rules Ioniq out for this very reason. No CCS from Naas to Waterford and only 1 charger in Waterford in a not so good location. Ridiculous.

I drove the I3 about 400+ Kms in one day with a single 50 min "fast charge" If I remember correctly this was a 12% - 95% charge 33 Kwh I3. in Galway and a further 10 mins on the way home.

I drove from Joe Duffy Motors to Galway fast charger and the Rex kicked in only 5 mins before the fast charger , I still had 7% remaining and probably would have made it in the BEV version. Rex kicks in around 7% remaining battery. I hardly noticed the hum from it.

Charged in BnB over night, drove around Galway, back to fast charger charged 50 mins, drove to Kilbeggan , charged 10 mins and back to Carlow with about 20% left. So I covered a good distance on battery only. I think I clocked up over 600 Kms in total and the rex used half of one bar in that.

So it's about the best Plug-in you'll find, even a 2014/15 21 Kwh will still give you about 100-110 Kms EV range and the Rex then to make up the rest. Obviously the 33 Kwh is best but still pricy 2nd hand if you can find one, U.K is probably the best bet especially to find a higher spec one but it will be a lot of fun to drive.

That's a terrible reason to rule out Ioniq

Never mind Naas. You can drive Dublin to Waterford at motorway speeds in Ioniq without charging.

I'm not saying you should buy Ioniq, on the contrary. You wouldn't like 3 years in Ioniq after 3 years in your Leaf. Buy an i3 instead!

04-11-2017 11:18pm

Lol I was using no CCS from Naas to Waterford as one example. I was talking return trip from my house.

I'm not saying I wouldn't be happy with an Ioniq, it's a good car but it's as exciting as a Leaf.

I've been kinda keeping an eye out for a second 10m one but might be interested in 5m at the right price. What sort of money were you thinking? PM me if you prefer

Contact Phil Fitzgerald at Electric Autos. He'll tell you a fair price. If you don't know it's value then you're ripe for a bad offer.

Not suggesting that anyone here would scam you of course.

DrPhilG · 14-11-2017 4:28pm

I just sent Phil a message, I'll let you know ow what he replies.

Why are you selling it out of curiosity?

NIMAN · 14-11-2017 8:06pm

I would prefer a coiled one, simple as that.
It would be rarely used now since I got the home charge point installed, and with the crumbling charger infrastructure, will see little use.

If thr selling price was too low and I had to add too much for a coiled one, I'd just hang on to it.

Can you find out whether it had the 6.6kw charger? Also what cables are supplied?

It's the Tekna model so leather seats, 360 degree camera etc.

29-11-2017 12:00pm

Top spec SVE version, doesn't say whether it has the 6.6 Kw charger or not, now I know people will say "oh no not another 6.6 Kw charger spiel by Mad_Lad"....... however, I lived with the 24 Kwh leaf for almost 3 years , 82,500 Kms and am in a pretty good position to advise about it.

The Leaf has a fast charge port but, it's not particularly fast charging. 18-85% can take 40 mins and 45 - 50 mins especially during the colder weather, the battery charges slower the colder it is.

Anyway, I got the 6.6 Kw charger because I thought to myself that it would make life easier to have the faster charging option on AC as we have a lot of AC points around the Island and I am really glad I spent the extra which you won't have to spend 2nd hand.

Charging twice as fast on AC means a hell of a lot less time waiting around at fast charge points , find an AC point in town, plug in and after 2-3 hrs you will have a charged or almost charged car and the beauty is that you may even have 90-100 % which is a lot more than you'll usually have the patience of waiting for at fast charge points , charging beyond 80% in a 24 Kwh leaf is a painful experience because the power it pulls from the charger is very little at this point.

You can install a 32 amp home charge point too which will half the time needed to charge at home which might be handy for a quick boost if you find yourself running low.

Anyway it's not the end of the world if you have a 3.3 Kw charger but think of this, if a DC point is down which happened me recently before I got rid of the Leaf then you're only hope is an AC point and this saved me waiting twice as long to get going again......

Cheers. I will say that to them, but I think they want to buy now (in the next week or two), because their 2005 ford focus is spending more time getting fixed than it is driving.

I found a few contenders.....strangely the cheapest one I found jumped by a thousand pound inside of an hour. They asked me to make enquiries about it, but at new price, it's not competitive.

Found one in Liverpool. A bit over budget at £10350 plus flights and ferry at ~€300.....but there is less than 9k miles on the clock and it's a 6.6OBC Acenta. Collecting Saturday morning all going well. Driving to Holyhead (100 miles from garage) rather than Liverpool port (20 miles) because the ferry from holyhead is much cheaper and sail times are more suitable.

KCross · 10-01-2018 7:30pm

Good luck!
Check those rear tyres for uneven wear.

And don't forget to close the charge port door! :pac:

Woot?

When I booked the overnight midweek ferry from Liverpool was less than half the price of the Holyhead ferry. At €58 it was ridiculously cheap considering I got a hot meal after boarding, I got a free upgrade to a clean cabin all for myself, there were only about two dozen pax on board (the rest cargo) and I got a hot breakfast in the morning after I had a lovely shower to wake me up. I flew to Nottingham at 8PM and was back home at 11AM. It was a lovely trip - hope you'll enjoy yours too

The zero charging stress to only have to cover 20 miles alone, would weigh in heavily for me too...

The main thing is the departure time. Car will be collected around 10am. The Liverpool ferry leaves at 9pm. That’s a lot of waiting around. I estimate it will take 3-3.5 hours to get to holyhead stopping for charges twice.....possibly 3 times (100 miles) in the cold weather. The Liverpool ferry is £250 compared to £150 at holyhead. The holyhead ferry is at 5. There is one at 2, but I wouldn’t want to risk missing it if there is any delay with the car, or chargers.

That's crazy money! Probably because it's a Saturday. Would you not have considered a weekday ferry? If you work 9-5 (in Dublin) you would arrive in work nearly 2 hours late, but many people have a bit of flexibility when it comes to that.

I'm now officially a student, so I have some flexibility. However, the car is for mammy and daddy in-law. The brother in law is coming for the trip (adding less than €100 to overall travel costs). He can't take time off work and the saving is only around 50 quid at the moment. He shares his dads name, making the transfer of ownership a lot handier.

There is a field on the form specially there for when you buy the car for someone else. So that should make no difference

But reading between the lines, hopefully you had a nice lads night out / road trip even though it cost a bit of money
