Hip hip hooray, I’m a happy girl today …….Well fabulous news, the dealer have agreed to reprogram the car (hopefully next week, in house) so I can control opening and closing from the key fob, and it will not cost me a penny, or motability anything, …..YIPPPPPPEEEEEEE!
Only hold up is they have been trying to get motability to agree to it for last couple of days and no one is coming back to them to give them the go ahead. The dealer has said he will try again tomorrow (saturday) and if he is still having problems getting authorisation he is going to ask to be refered to one of their customer managers to make sure that it gets done asap!
I’m chuffed, chuffed, chuffed….happy, happy, happy, so very, very, very relieved! From my chat earlier in the week with motability, they know that was what I was asking them to do so I can’t imagine there would be any problem that end and I’m always a ‘glass half full’ kind of gal so I’m celebrating early with a packet of maltesers and a glass of Baileys …… party time!!
Seriously though, thanks for everyone’s time and advice. You’ve been fantastically supportive and given me that belief and conviction in pushing this was the right and just thing, that has made a real difference for me. the knowledge of what to ask them and belief they should do and how bits of this tech stuff works, I would have never gained without you peeps!!! I’d have been fobbed off and at a loss as what to do, where to turn for advice and no doubt well and truly out of pocket, possibly a unuseable boot or even a car!
Next week I should have a lovely car, a boot with a hoist that can stow my scooter and wheelchair at the same time, and them not encroach into the passenger seats and a finally a boot that I can open and close without doing acrobatics, to press any out of reach buttons….. ooh heaven!!!
I can finally give the car a name … or at least rename it to something other than the many non repeatable things I’ve been calling it lately!!
