did the Gorilla glue foam up? th epolyeurethane nature of GG as it expands I fear woudl cause a bit of a mess... I make model boats so I have quite the supply of two part epoxies...

mine is begining to come up... its all self inflicted. when I pull my golf bag out it drags along the carpet, and since there is nothing from the factory to protect the edge, or recess the carpet. like what the factory did to the seat hing flaps, the carpet edge is just a smidge recessed..... It look slike the carped it stuck down to the backing material with something like rubber cement... the edges just need some extra "grippy" glue or something.. it look slike its just a heavy duty rubber mat under the carpet... make me almost want to strip the carpet off the rubber mat...

did it on the way to work as well... cool I guess...

within about a 1/4 mile of home the + sign popped up. I must not have noticed it before. I'll have to see if it does ijust before I get to work...

AHH ok. I have the gauge set to "engage"

I've had my 2013 SEL since late may. It was used with about 11000 miles on the clock for under $20K and a lot of bumper to bumper factory warranty left. the 2014 is going to cost you more up front when compared to a similar mileage 2013. but you are getting a year extra warranty... the car replaced a prius. The Ford has been trouble free, no problems, no issues...no visits to the dealership. It does need to go for the seatback and airbag recall. the car has never failed to start and I'm getting good mileage.

I'll have to be more diligent in looking for it. Givvn my down hill run at home it may never show up...

sorry to bring back an old thread... My manual talks about the ev+ on page 179 and then sends me to the information cluster pages and I finaly learn how to turn it on the driver menu. my question. how do you know that EV+ is being used? does an icon light up? with my commute... my trip home the last 1/2 mile is all down hill, and at work, its dead flat... is it blind faith that its working...

honestly I'm suprised that places that have the EZpass or transponder type tolls are not issuing speeding tickets... Since they know the distance between toll booths and they know the times you hit the toll plazas it would be simple math to determine your speed...

the energi woudl be great for my daily commute 15-18 miles one way.. but the loss in floor space in the back would really hurt me during my non working activities...

VA not too bad...

nitrogen does not expand or contract as much as oxygen in regards to temperature... fact. nitrogen atoms are lareger than oxygen.. fact. filling the tires up with 100% nitrogen will eleminate any water vapor inside the tires. Fact while none of thise will help fuel mileage it may reduce the amount of time you spend on checking your tire pressure. But you still need to keep an eye on your tires to spot abnormal wear, cuts, ect... I'd put nitrogen in the same leauge as gas pods, vortex generators and other gimmicks for the daily driver. over the road truckers, public transportation, race car drivers, ect. nitrogen is probably a worthwile investment... that being said. if we got a nitrogen generator at work for our busses... I'd take advantage of it..

hope it helps. even though aldata is using the USA model, some of the diagrams may have come from the UK version....

WAB, actually, the O2 molecule is smaller than N2. which is why you get the slow drop off of tire pressure. since N is bigger It won't leak as bad, nor does its volume change as much with the difference between eat and cold... This means your tire pressures remain more stable as your tires heat up or for those of us with winter, the outside temps drop... The other benefit to all nitrogen is the purging of the water vapor inside the tires...

If its on its own fuse, you could juts pull the fuse. another option would be to unplug the PAM... to at least disable the rear parking assist. but that might throw a code... I have attached the sensor locations and some associated wiring diagrams.

doing that already...

poor guy, you blocked his side windows LOL while i don't have a dog any more. I got a lot of stuff from duluth trading... nice high quality http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/mens-gifts-mens-gear/dog-toys-dog-stuff/dog-toys-dog-stuff.aspx

Hey folks, I'm in the beginning stages of thinking about changing and old fridge out to a kegerator... My plan is to to take my side by side fridge and set it up to handle two pony kegs. My ultimate hope is to get a corny keg and try my hand at home brewing...And brewing to fill a small keg is, I think, easier than bottling... any thoughts from the home brewers out there.... the down side to this...I loose a lot of space in the basement fridge, which would probably upset the spousal unit...

wires get hot, insulation burns, melts fuel line...

Isn't there some high voltage connectors under the hood? The prius has been known to have rodent problems too...

Paul, I agree, but I'm not sure what would cause a manufacturer to investigate a fire. I woudl think it would ultimately be up to the insurance company to determine the cause (if they care) or maybe the local fire chief. The only reason the insurance company would care would be to try to assign blame to recoup their money. IE if they can figure out it was a manufacturing defect, or the Valet dropped a ciggy or some sort of other reason (fraud). given the amount of battery juice in hybrids, coupled with the gas tank. it is a formidable combination...

Well, it still is carefree... no more oil changes, no more gas, or any type of maintenance for that matter....

probably a dumb mistake on my part but I reset my lifetime meter when I got the car used...

Car had to be registered by june 2 if I remember correctly anything after june 2 is no go for payment...
