Hi I’m new here

Welcome.
You want to have one, or do you have one ?
In the latter case, some photos & info would be nice.

 

[Raj U]

I own one, sorry should have mentioned that. I have a 74 plate PHEV

Welcome to SCN I am old here, but still like a hot hatch, and still waiting for a pic or two.

Very nice and in the best classy and stealthy colour too.

 

[Raj U]

It looks and drives great. Love it to bits even with the few issues I’ve had with it.

Firstly was hit by a lorry on the m25. Came into the side of me and scuffed up the passengers door.

Secondly been having a few electrical problems. Key fob not working on few occasions, windows going up when pressing down and then going down when pressing up. The latest is the wing mirrors have stopped heating so with it being winter now, it’s probably the worst time for that to start happening.

Welcome to the community. Car looks great. Sorry to hear you've been having issues. Not great. Do you have the carbon fibre cover for the key fob? It affects range and reliability if you have. Had to ditch mine in the end.

 

[Raj U]

Thank you for the welcome.

I do have the carbon fibre cover for the key fob. I’ll revert back to the original and see how I get on with that. Shame if it is the cause as it looks great

 

[Seastormer]

My key fob has had the carbon fibre cover fitted from new and it has worked perfect, the battery has to be changed every 22 months though.

There was a big difference in range between the spare and the key with the cover fitted for me. Had to have the battery changed after 6 months!

 

[Raj U]

I’ve changed the battery on it recently as I thought that might have been causing the issue.

Th problem I’m concerned about mostly is the heated wing mirrors that have stopped working.

Have you contacted the dealer re the mirrors?

 

[Raj U]

Not yet I haven’t. Thought I’d ask in here first to see if anyone else had any similar problems/fixes

A blown fuse maybe?
If you already didn't, you can try finding the mirror heater fuse location in the user manual and check it.

 

[Raj U]

There isn’t a fuse for the wing mirror. I’ve had a look through the manual a couple of times in case I missed something but I couldn’t find any fuse related to the wing mirror.

It made me wonder if it’s maybe connected to the rear window?

 

[tracktoy]

do you have a scanning tool, run that and see if any errors are reported.

On my older car you have to manually select the heated mirror, is that the same on your's either way again if you have a scan tool you should be able to do a output test to ensure its working.
