Thank you so much for replying thats really great. So the new battery and all was good and clearly available even if from Japan. I wondered ? I was looking at both the hybrid and the straight 2.4. I'm lead to believe the regular car is £270 pa to tax and I have no idea on fuel. However if you didn't mind ...do you have any idea on your (hybrid) road tax cost and any ideas on fuel consumption ? I'm just trying to consider whether the the simplicity of the straight petrol over compensates for the benefit of the additional electric motors. I'm down in the south but any recomendations appreciated or if anyone would actually know the answers as I spoke to a couple of traders who didn't really know anything? Many Thanks ;--)

Hi I have just started to look into buying one of these. I've seen plenty avertised but really wondering which to choose and what spec's are. I believe the 2.4 would be my preferred so would anyone know what kind of MPG that would achieve and am I correct in thinking it's £270 pa to pay for road tax. I've also see the the hybride too. So are these ok do their onboard battery last over the 15 years (yes I realise the engine charges when running) so are these reliable and again what kind of mpg and road tax would I have? I'm asking about the technology reliability as I'm seeing cars circa 2003 -2007 Any true info would be appreciated thanks
