Which PHEV to replace my BMW 330e?

Hi,

We have a 2020 BMW 330e for past 2.5 years and have had issues such as: 12-volt battery had to be replaced, shudder in front brakes, both wing mirror electrics failed... Looking at replacing now for around €40k mark. Not mad on SUVs but if needs must and not committed to full electric yet.

I've just bought a Nissan Juke Hybrid...

I bought a Nissan Juke 1.6 automatic petrol hybrid recently. I do a lot of town driving. In town I thought it would be driving mostly on the battery. This doesn't seem to be the case. Can you please advise as to how I can monitor this and any suggestions how I can improve its efficiency?

Thanks

Which new hybrid for up to €40,000?

What new hybrid car would you recommend for a family of five used for school runs and to go to work close by? Most journeys would be relatively short but we'd like something with plenty of room inside.

Our budget is up to €40,000.

Will my Fiat Grande Panda hybrid's starter wear out?

Hello,

I recently got a Fiat Grande Panda hybrid, the car is great, but I'm worried about this constant switching from the three-cylinder engine to the hybrid battery when driving in the city. Won't the starter wear out very quickly? It does it very often, constantly switching from electricity to gasoline!

Thank you!

Any known issues with Honda Shuttle brake servos?

Have you heard of issues with the brake servos of Honda hybrids? I have a recently bought a Japanese import Honda Shuttle from 2020, low mileage. I am now getting intermittent faults; seems the brake servo is faulty and is not giving proper feedback to the brake pedal.

Thanks
