To be fair, why would they know those details yet? Rachel in accounts/treasuryHMRC won’t have finalised anything yet regarding deadlines and cut-offs. As for insurance, all they can do quote the current rate of insurance tax which, given there’ll be another budget first, could well change altogether anyway. You’d have been better off ringing Rachel, not that you’d have got any sense!
Wonder why the 5’s have gone, to much private demand or maybe coming straight back with a revised AP? Time will tell.
Surely there must be an underlying fault somewhere that’s causing the 12v battery to fall over? Trouble is nobody in the chain is interested in diagnosis these days, it’s all just replace the failed bit and move along. Somebody is going to buy that car and will still be suffering the same issues.
I’ve just had an assessment and was recommended the Bever one for £425. I did really like it, but didn’t know there was a cheaper alternative out there!
While I’ve never tried one of those handle type Bever ones, my brain just says no, lol. Tbh I pretty much only use the ball/pad on roundabouts and other similar situations where I know I’m turning/indicating simultaneously.
@ChrisK, it does work but like you I don’t use it. It does auto light up sometimes when I turn off and the see me home headlights come on? I’ll mindfully check it out properly and give a better reply.
I’ll also rate the Techmobility version when I’ve got it and had it a while.
I spoke to Techmobility today and confirmed the item on the MB adaptation list was the one I thought. The guy said it was designed in-house by a staff member from Cardiff. I said “did he used to work for Lodgesons?” (Jokingly). Turns out yes he did. No wonder it looks so similar!
I’ve gone for one.
Update:
Contacted dealer upon getting back into the UK to check things had gone ahead as planned but turns out the salesman left on bad terms before the order window!
So have had to order on Q1 price so £100 quid more😒 Hey ho.
At least the new female salesperson seems on the ball, communicative and organised. And is pretty confident that the car will be ready by lease end at end of march.
Thanks @kezo , tbh just about all the functions are redundant these days, with all the automated stuff. I kind of use it for indicators on roundabouts and the odd manual main/dip beam and that’s it!
@ChrisK couldn’t agree more, the links on the adaptions page just go to the general website, not the item in question and that, coupled with the lack of descriptions and info, does indeed make it a disgrace.
Looking around on the Techmobility site I’m pretty sure the one in the top pic on this page is the 9way in question and looks close enough to what I’m used to for me.

Never Trust a Tory. I’ll solve world peace when I become Miss World- and I’m a bloke!
I doubt that bars you from entering nowadays! Go for it, if it means world peace I’ll vote for you!
I got that email the other week, but I’d had 7. Only two down to wear, the others non-repairable punctures (according to KF). One of them got replaced and then got a puncture about 6 days later!
Like you it coincided around the 16-20 week before end time so must be a degree of automation involved. I just deleted it and thought well I’ve still got one left then!
Wasn’t it the case backalong that in addition to metallic paint a reversing camera (if available) was also included on Mob? Or was it parking sensors? Or am I completely (quite possibly) misremembering!?
That’s good as presumably you’ll be able to take advantage of the free charger from Mob being fitted. While there are some on here that run an EV without the ability I would say, on balance, it’s a clincher, especially if you’re mileage is AVG or above.
I’ve no experience of the Kona personally but they have always been considered a good EV, with both good range and economy. They are certainly well priced AP wise at the moment but don’t know if they’re entering into stock only territory? When are you due to change?
The Puma doesn’t have the battery size/ range of the Kona but depending on your driving habits that might not be an issue at all. If, like many, 90% of your driving is within like a 50 mile radius of your home and you only do a 200m journey two or three times a year then why cart a big battery around all the time?
Start with your needs (like the boot taking the chair) and your typical usage/mileage. This will give you an idea of what battery size/ range you need as a minimum and you can then start a list of cars from there.
Do you have a 12v battery charger? Are you able to check the terminal connectors on the 12v battery (one might need tightening) and give it an old fashioned a overnight trickle charge?
Great, how was the icecream weather
Squally! No ice cream, just made do with the pub lunch. 🙂
Well, had a good test drive and really like the car! Small but mighty sums it up nicely I think. Found it very easy (in so far as entry/egress of any car is easy for me these days) to get in out of, especially where head clearance is concerned. Lovely to drive, reminded me of my first mini, more like steering your seat rather than the external car!
Plenty enough room for the two of us and with those sliding folding rear seats it does cover our personal requirements. The one pedal i-drive mode at max regen was excellent on the crawling around Aber part of our drive. One thing I’ll have to get used to again is a dial Speedo. It’s a shame because in normal view there’s plenty of blank screen room between the two ‘dials’ to fit abig digital number displaying your speed (so much easier to keep an eye on). I’ve learnt to take the HUD in the Citroen for granted! Lol
On the whole though a simple practical car with an airy feel.
They’re happy to put the order in as soon as my window opens while I’m away and apply any lower AP in the (very) unlikely event it reduces in Q1.
Have you test driven both and like them equally? How many miles do you tend to do? Do you do many long journeys?
That’s the same colour as mine @Rhodgie Iceland blue I think it’s called, something like that.
Lee, yeah definitely haven’t faulted the comfort over it’s time. The C3 air cross isn’t anywhere near as well appoint, you’re right and I think it’s ap is too high. I am going to take a look at its Vauxhall cousin the Frontera but as it stands my current first choice is the Inster. Subject to test drive etc.
Wrong time of year for a nice day out – Wave the sea monster could gobble you up
Sinclairs Gorseinon have always been good, so expect Aber dealership will be no different.Nah, seaside ice-cream is viable any day of the year!🙂 Not to mention pub lunch.
I’ve had VW from Sinclair Neyland in the past, they were ok.
