In fairness I doubt the issue was directly caused by them, the range had been reducing prior, rather their unfamiliarity with diagnosing the issue meant I had to await the failure before I could present them with something concrete. It's a risk early adopters take, especially in a country that...

Ok, so all done. Got a call from the dealership after another delay (some o-rings missing from the box the pack comes in, these had to be shipped from Japan). Finally got the car back on 27 April, so not a short wait, but pleased to report all is well and range has improved noticeably.

I suffered excessive wear from new. Replaced fronts twice already and am now on 49,000km after 2.5 years. On this last set I ignored the dealer who suggested rotating the wheels left to right (after I highlighted the differing sizes front to rear). My local tyre centre tweaked the suspension...

Apparently as this dealership was an iMiev centre (not all were certified) they had their own gear. Obviously it didn't get any use, which is both a good and a bad thing...

Another update. Received a call to say the safety gear at the dealership had perished owing to lack of use! The rep reckons the mechanics are all champing at the bit to perform the work as none of them have seen it done before. Nice to be novelty but doesn't fill me with confidence! Pack...

Just a quick update, received a call on Thursday (now Saturday) to say the Teapot is booked in for her new pack to be fitted next Thursday (31 Mar). Hopefully not setting me up for an April fool ;)

This is actually part of the reason I was happy they didn't try to get out of it. It appears the warranty differs depending on the market. There is a post on the http://www.aeva.asn.au forum regarding an iMiev that suffered reduced range and the owner I believe ended up shelling out as...

The Teapot gets its name from the license plate (154 TEA). Funny part is that as Poms we constantly have a cuppa on the go so the missus and kids loved it, couldn't have selected a more fitting plate. First time we ever bothered naming a car, the iMiev has so much more character. She's blue...

This is a long one so grab a drink and settle it... It's been a while since posting on here (previously as WyVern, but since lost credentials and the email account tied to that ID). Since then our electric blue iMiev "the Teapot" has covered 49,000km in the 2.5 yrs we have owned it and...
