I think takes about 7 or 8 litres of the black stuff - that'll take some warming up but it does have eight cylinders to help it along

Just tried the obd2 dongle and it worked first time - the port is on the door side of the steering wheel, under the dash pointing towards the floor, no cover surprisingly.

I got a few bits of data like fault codes, ambient temp, coolant temp, 12v battery voltage, inlet pressure but couldn't get a few more interesting things like boost, waste gate, oil temp, traction battery status.

Interestingly, the app I bought has a few values for hybrids but couldn't get a reading, need to play a bit more. The OBD2 has a few things that may be relevant like....

Accumulated Time of Battery Low
Accumulated Time of DC Inhibit
Accumulated Time of Battery too High
Accumulated Time of Hot Temperature
