powered by a Ni-Mh battery which i have a second one on order too for more play time

the power is put down to the road via 8 oil-filled rebuildable shocks and progressive springs Aluminium titanium anodised lightweight centre shaft

Going to get some plastic yoghurt pots for flared wheel arches, a Chrome Dolls House Radiator and going to glue dolls ironing boards together to make a spoiler to give it the full Kahn Makeover Rolling with laughter Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Not got them to work just yet, still trying to work out if it's got DAB radio, it says Digital on the button

I want to upgrade its satnav too, but the OeM ones are very expensive

Im also going to try add 2SO to this all and compare MPG,

Will it need the Towbar activating or will it be fine without? And are aftermarket electrics ok Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Rolling with laughter
Adding 2SO will not improve MPG with electric power but could improve YPC (yards per charge)
I assume the vehicle is Road Fund Tax Exempt?
You could improve YPG by fitting a lightning rod conductor to the roof or better still, ditch the batteries altogether and get a 400 yard long extension lead. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

It needs a paint job. Ideally Loire Blue with a Black Pano sunroof. Just like the Porsche's down in Dorset do.... Whistle

And then there's the Heated Steering Wheel issue...... and obviously the Nigel Farage input required from the Essex monkey...... Whistle Foraging near Gaydon....
