    Been a while since I posted. That must be an indication of how good these cars are.

    Now I have some warning lights and codes, time to mend things.

    I have a P3000 in the Hybrid ECU and (IIRC) a P3007 in the normal ECU. I erased both and the P3000 comes straight back along with the "bong" and the display disappearing but the P3007 went away and didn't come back.

    I am now wondering if I am remembering the P3007 code correctly as I can't find any references to it anywhere. Can anyone confirm that it is what I saw.

    I am beginning to think the HV battery is going home and have been looking for acceptable differences in cell voltages, I have 14.46 minimum and 15.55 maximum, is this OK?

    Any UK people with battery cells? There are some on eBay at £25 each which I suppose is not bad but buying one or more from an unknown source with no opportunity to check it and match it to my existing good ones doesn't seem like such a neat trick to me.

    Well I force charged it in drive, handbrake on, foot on brake and rev it until the HV battery was full. Cleared the fault codes and it stayed off, previously it came straight back on again.

    Done about 3 miles in it and it is still off. Just more information to stick in the equation.
