Joined up but a search for Ampera returns zero results - so I have asked where to post?

When I searched their forums for Ampera it turned up lots of results but they were all posts about reviews in the Vauxhall News section. You have to do the search from the top level though, if you're reading a post I think their search only searches that forum.

Maybe edit the title of your post slightly? It sounds a bit... confrontational

'outside land of the motorway'?

It's not a massively active forum in any case: the model specific areas have 19 topics and a total of 6 replies to those topics. You could just take over the VX220 forum as no-one seems to be using it. :^)
