How can they say the mileage will be reduced to whatever other leases are. You can have any mileage you want with a leased car. When taking out a lease you are asked what mileage you want. Many businesses lease cars with unlimited mileages. Salary sacrifice leases you have to state what mileage you want, the less miles the cheaper the lease. That part is nonsense.
As kezo said email them first and ask can the sound system be added to the order. Once that is sorted email them again and cancel the paint protection. If you cancel the Paint protection first they might just say no for the sound system just to be picky.
Under no circumstances let them charge you for guard x, phone up and tell them no I have changed my mind I don’t need it. They will try and talk you into it but be firm and say no it is not my car.
If I was fit and able I could do the whole job for around £600/£700.
Phone the dealership ask to speak to the motability rep, make an appointment with him or her and ask them will they have a car available when you come in to test drive. If they say no, go somewhere else same thing again.
Made a mistake above and changed it.

Accident Management
with EnterpriseNo one likes to think that they’ll be involved in a road accident, yet every year, UK body shops repair almost two million owned vehicles. The good news is that most incidents are relatively minor, with no lasting effect to drivers or passengers. However, even a minor accident can cause a disproportionate amount of worry, inconvenience and cost for anyone involved.
Enterprise owns the biggest fleet in the world and we have been managing accident claims for over 60 years. We are now able to extend this service and expertise to our customers.

If this bump was someone else’s fault, ie the driver who was going the wrong way. You should only have to make your insurance company Direct Line aware. Surely it is up the other party’s insurance company to assist you. If they will not assist you then motability and Direct line can hire you a car and then claim from the other drivers insurance.
Hi I am a wee bit annoyed my car went in for service and is a year old and only done 350 miles, there was no damage no scratches even got a security camera picture before it was picked up. Anyway dealer phoned me to say car was ready and was on its way back to me when it was back I thought I saw a leaf on rear bumper but it turned out to be a few scratches’ and over a 10 pence size paint chip that is black underneath I also noticed scratches on front headlights not sure how this happened but what is strange the car paperwork showed the check around car box ticked no damage but on another sheet it said damage to rear bumper? So I phoned the dealer and the young lady said she took pictures when the car came in and I said It was no damage not even a scratch when it went in and I have security footage to prove this. She said manager was not in and would call today which is friday so I phoned Motability and they explained above they told me to phone Direct Line which I did and guess what I have to pay £100 excess for no fault of my own which I may get back as I asked it they came claim it back from dealer. I have been driving Motability cars since 2001 and never made a claim now there is to be one which I am not too happy about. So free service and pick up has cost me also a bumper repair could be done mobile if it was my own car quickly but not sure how long it is going to take they offered me a car but as no adaptations cannot have.
This might be a really stupid question, why are you wasting your money on a car a year old and only done 350 miles. Surely it would make financial sense to get taxis if you are not driving the car. 350 miles in a year is astonishing. Maybe you want the car but to be paying £72.00 a week for a car that is rarely used is madness.
Wait until it arrives, sign into your online account and add the driver. Is it someone who lives with you? I think their is problems if the driver lives far away from you.
I am sure Fish Brothers who have a lot of car franchises would be happy to hear you say thier website with direct in it is fake.
Some cars now come with a usb port on the rear view camera area specifically to connect a dash cam.
The company selling on eBay have their postcode the name of the supplier which it them and the BS number. I don’t see what you are getting at.
I dont understand how you can say they are illegal below is from their description, they have sold thousands of sets of number plates.
Please note: these are Road Legal number plates so we will require a proof of ownership (such as logbook or retention document) AND a form of ID.
Spacing will be as it appears on your V5. If you type it in a different way, rest assured we WILL correct it before making the plate.
It was the all eBay plates are illegal I was getting at.
which part of those plates are illegal.
Mobility have the V5C logbook so I can’t get the reference number to fill the link in you sent me
do you have an online motability account? You can get the reference number from that.
A lot of dealers can no longer register any cars with a private plate some can but a lot can’t.
I don’t think they are sending the number plate form out anymore. I got a new reg for a N.Ireland number recently and no form came with it.
you can buy a new set of number plates on eBay for £15.00 including delivery.
https://www.personalisedvehicleregistration.service.gov.uk/retain/vehicle-lookup
go to the above put in the details, they will give you reg number for the car online and by email as soon as you complete the transfer.
£250 as long as all qualifying conditions complied with.
All on the Motability official website.
For a 5 year lease I doubt it is the same as a 3 year lease.
This one gets good reviews on Amazon. Front and rear for a good price.
A Chinese is delivered nearly every night to an elderly man across the street from me. 90% of the time it is delivered by a young man in a seat ateca which I know is a motability car. I wonder did he let motability know what that car was going to be used for.
August 8, 2025 at 11:53 am in reply to: Is an electric vehicle an realistic option with out home charger #310943Don’t know where you live or how much money you have. I live in a terraced house and am seriously considering paying to get a charger installed myself. I can get it done for £800. Cut a channel on the pavement outside and install a stormguard channel in the pavement outside.
The channel can be bought from eBay or Amazon. The channel is 65mm deep stormguard is like a square channel with a brush on top. In N.Ireland they have been considering doing this for the last 6/7 years and still no further forward. I have seen these installed in pavements within places ie warrenpoint harbour, they have 6 of them outside their offices and I have walked over them with no difficulty. Your charging cable just sits down inside the brush and out at the end to plug into the car.
All of the stuff can be turned off in the main settings menu. Unfortunately when you turn the car of and start again it will be back on you will need to turn it off every time you start the car. Learn where it is turn it off and get used to doing it every time.
But the Banana will give you heartburn.
And now you have a claim against you.
