Hi James, from eBay basically, I found a group called Synetiq selling them

Nate you're right but it's also more than halving the degradation, not only will recharges be halved but also NMC cells benefit from not having deep charge and discharge cycles like you'd see in a 60Ah

My 10 year old i3’s range has MORE than DOUBLED! After driving from Bristol to EV Sales And Repairs in Brecon, Wales this weekend, a 76 mile journey beyond my previous battery's range () my car's useable battery capacity has been increased from 16.2 kWh to 38.9 kWh! This is after swapping out...

Yes, I've just had mine done at EV Sales and Repairs in Brecon. The guy knows more about i3 than any human I've ever met. I went from 16kWh useable to 38.9kWh useable. Range has significantly more than doubled. Plus I still have the REx. I'm so happy with the results, it's been great. I've...

Hi Rossifer, pretty easy to get to that fan. From memory you'll just need to remove the rear bumper to access it, and that's about it. There's quite a few electronics going to the rear bumper but it's relatively easy to see where they all connect up to and as always, photograph as you go to help...

Hi guys. I've had this same message after doing a Hi there, I've just received this same message as above about the airbag tensioners and srs and now think it could be the 12v battery. Context: on December the 16th I took apart my car and disconnected the 12v battery terminals whilst doing...

Hi Ted, just to be clear are you referring to the bolt that joins the wheel carrier to the end of the suspension, or are you also referring to the five arms that hold / control the wheel carrier?

Hi Ted, so should I do the suspension arm bolts up to jointing torque whilst the car is up on jack stands, and then properly torque up when it's back down on the wheels, or would even that be too much? TIA

Thanks Iain, great to know!

Right there with you. I've been checking oil levels on vehicles for years and have never encountered a more confusing dipstick than this. There's a textured surface that kind of looks like it should indicate the correct level, but really not easy or clear to read.

Hi Iain, could this fault be confirmed / remedied without removal of the REx, i.e in situ?

Morning Iain, great insight thank you. I'd already bought a replacement REx engine, from a car with only 20,000 miles (mine has 97,000) so hopefully a lot less REx usage hours too. That said, I'd be interested in getting it to last as long as possible. I cannot stress this enough but I would...

Hi Iain, I'll give that a try next time I'm with it. Thanks. Here's the info provided by a mechanic used to diagnose original timing chain issue:

Hi Iain, very highly likely to be a timing chain issue according to a garage report that's been seen on another i3 forum in the UK where there was agreement

Like you wouldn't imagine, thank you so much! 🙌
