I have been doing that actually.
Considering the motor is actually turning all the time on these things, they are surprisingly free rolling. They must have very good bearings and not much drag on the brushes etc.

Okay thanks.

I tried driving mine with the pump unplugged.. to save power, and I find it annoying that the pump runs continuously even when the contactor is not even in, IE not 'started.' Will it damage the ram? I was wondering if any versions of the Berlingo ever came with a manual rack as that would surely giv...

Driving my electrique again today, I find myself looking at the eco gauge all the time i'm trying to coast along, to make sure I'm not accidentally regenerating on slight downhill roads mostly. I'm used to hypermiling in my fossil vehicles so I'm always coasting especially down hills. Also i find my...

Any special instructions for getting Lexia / Peugeot Planet to talk to the Electrique? The only thing I can get a response from is the webasto heater, which I didn't even know would be hooked into the obd2 system.

Thanks, I presume you saw it when it was on ebay then. I didn't know she had more than one! I get the feeling she hadn't had it long so probably didn't do any work on it .

When i accelerated the charge lamp and limiter lamps came on and i could see it restricting the power on the gauge. It was still doing up to 30....

Thankyou. Voltage with igntion on 14.14v voltage with ignition on but with one of the big (nicd) fuses pulled out (no DC-DC input) 11.90v. Interesting to know about no immob, thanks. Was also surprised to see no airbag on these. Am i right in thinking only about 50 were sold in the UK? Any ideas on ...

Thanks folks, must have tried 50 times to get it to go, but when I went to recover it, it decided to work first try! Drove it home and it has been alright. INteresting that the gearlever is just a pot because sometimes the reversing lights flicker and it jolts slightly when reversing as if it can't ...
