Um, what kind of Trouble?

To be fair she is quick enough as she stands but I was hoping for a little more fuel economy than I am getting ( I am aware it is winter of course as well! )

Battery modules for example - about £5k to replace. Remember your question about warranties? Hybrids were the one car it was felt buying a warranty made sense.
