Mini Countryman Electric Car Look Around
This is my first look around of an EV and it is a Mini Countryman. It doesn't resemble what a Mini is meant to be as it is a massive car. I wish companies wouldn't take the name of an iconic retro vehicle and totally change it. It seems the way of the world now. Let me know what you think.

    Electric not for me! I am also old school, love manual gears and wont drive my husbands automatic, his car is lovely but prefer being the passenger. I do worry for the older generations as petrol and diesel get phased out because at only 56 I am not keen to embrace the changes. I will stick to my Audi A1 diesel as long as possible. Interesting to learn that headlights are now plastic.

    Becky has had a fully electric mini cooper for over 6 months, in conjunction with octopus electricity for interactive charging it’s saved us loads of money already. I’ve been limited it’s super sonic when you put your foot down ( tyres wouldn’t last long if I drove it all of the time 😂)very happy with it great bit of kit . But saying that I still have a 2.4 diesel if I need to get a engine noise experience 👍the window washer bottle top up is all I need to worry about 👍

    Did you see a new ford capri was launched yesterday . Electric of course , looks nothing like the old. Capri from pics I have seen, more dub by the looks of things . Not easy to work on Nartin is it without the computer telling you any faults . At least it has a handbrake our car doesn’t have handbrake as such it goes automatically in and off . Worries me on hill starts , shouldn’t be an issue but in very steep hill when traffic behind you I worry . Hehe Yes on our it tells you your speed and the area speed limit that’s good as sometimes speed limits aren’t what you expect are they . But I still wouldn’t have an electric car . Oh the sos if you press that it calls emergency services so don’t press that . Ours has automatic parking but we don’t use that as you only operate the pedals and the car does the rest . I would panic a bit . Hehe neither of us use that function , guess what your used to . You have done well Martin when ours went in for its first service we had a courtesy electric car all that was available it took a. It if working out the different things it was telling us to do . Think that didn’t help our dislike either .

  • @sergiurusu3829
    @sergiurusu3829 Před 5 dny

    you need to Warm the engine to 90• because cold oil is thicker consistency and remains on the engine walls and drips slower, thats why you want it hot to drain it easier and get most of it out as its more runny , like butter when its warm it's runny when its cold is more consistent

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore Před 5 dny

      Not true, the last time the engine was run, the oil was hot and it all drained into the sump so it's all in the sump anyway. Today's oils are a lot thiner than they used to be and are no longer like treacle when cold. You are only draining the oil out of the sump.

    Martin & Sharon please don't waste money on an EV - they are a complete waste of time. Spend your money on things you are going to to enjoy like holidays. EVs lose HALF their value the minute you drive them of the forecourt , If you don't believe me just take a any new EV reg on the road and enter into any car value app.
