Thanks Chris, yea am quite happy with the results, although I learnt allot from my first conversion!

Na, 85mph is the top speed I had On the level once!
Typical driving to work, (hills, a+b roads, short motorway) 50mph-70mph =30miles, but I limit my trip to 25miles to conserve battery life.

I wouldn't complain about the music, it is another EV after all. :wink:
I'd put up with most types of music if it promoted and encouraged more converters to take the plunge.

Yea I wouldnt mind.

Its had 6 months of use, and coming up 2000 relatively trouble free miles, I will be stripping it down soon for an upgrade, so watch this space.
