      Our Limit for an AP was always around £1000 -£1500, above that we are in buying used and keeping 5 years territory. Can’t see us being on the scheme if the AP’s are that high in 2 years.

        All of this has reminded me, it’s September!, so time to give the Enyaq charge cover plunger a good spray of silicone lubricant!. I do it every 3 months, so far no sticking 🙂

        Thats why I have WD40 silicone, I saw Enyaq Gorms YouTube video.

          Yes, fine to do that mate. Also, if youve dropped the plug or dragged it, you can file the rough edges off

          Cheers mate!

            Mrs Joe is on a 10 year award. During her medical review when moving from DLA to PIP, around 9 years ago, the lady doing the medical said she would put a note on saying she shouldn’t be requested to attend in person again, sounds like a light touch review when it’s next up.

              @rhodgie Had to park on the lower part as that’s where Mrs Joe wanted to park. The cable was gently resting on the black trim, no damage.

                Rene is correct, I’d be taking two spaces if I plugged in the other side. Though I’ve just realised I could have gone in front first as the cable would probably reach to the back of the car, though Mrs Joe would have to get out first.

                  Nice car, but could do with a bigger battery.

                  From The Independent:

                  It arrives with a single powertrain option: a front-mounted 215bhp electric motor paired with a 60.2kWh battery. The official range is competitive enough at 267 miles, a 0-62mph sprint takes 6.9s, and fast 100kW charging allows for a 30 to 80 per cent top-up in around 20 minutes.

                    Found this, though needs translating https://www.enyaq-forum.de/forum/thread/5609-bug-or-feature-135kw-ladeleistung-beim-neuen-85er/?pageNo=1

                    I read some of that forum in Google translate, the post mentions a sept 2024 car, that’s when we picked ours up, it could be we have an 85x battery. Doesn’t stay that high for long and only usually when percentage of charge gets below 30%.

                      Is the cable heavy to pull ? Are they thicker than a garden hose pipe ?

                      They are thicker and heavier than a garden hose, they can stick on the charger side a little, making it slightly difficult to pull out. Next time you pass a public rapid charger, lift up the plug and see what you think.

                            You need one of them motorbike airbag vests, if you trip it’ll wrap an airbag around you before you hit the deck.

                              I’m sure it also includes synthetic types of melatonin. I see the point with your daughter, it’s not fair giving her drugs day and night. I’ll let you know what brand they are.

                                @kezo, I tried Phenergan (antihistamine) GP gave it me on prescription, did nothing for me. I’m definitely going to try the Melatonin when the Neurologist letter hits the GP. I’ve read Melatonin has protective  effects on both the brain and the heart by antioxidant and anti inflammatory actions.
                                Why won’t the hospital do anything till your daughter is 18, sounds a bit off?

                                  Good point by ‘Graham’ in response to a Tory MP complaining about  TikTok ers giving advice on how to get a Motability car, “we don’t complain about people using accountants to advise people how to pay less tax”.

                                    I’m a big fan of Demon Shine spray on wax, really easy to apply, simply wash car, let it dry, spray liquid on and rub dry. See this post I started last year.

                                                Them “ram rods” frequently cause infections, I’m sure the doctors know what they’re doing, but with your history, I’d insist on antibiotics before during and after. Good luck.

                                                  We had one back in the 1980’s. I do like a sparkling drink but don’t do sugar, I make my own with supermarket sparkling water and fruit juice from a carton, apple, orange and cranberry are my faves.

                                                    This is to prevent the key from constantly communicating with the car.

                                                    VAG keys don’t work like this. They turn themselves off if there is no movement, so no communication. @JoJoe – yeah, I think swapping out the battery every 12 months is ‘normal’. It would be interesting to know how frequent others change their battery.

                                                     

                                                    Ditto What @DumfriesDik says, the key goes to sleep if no movement after a number of seconds. You know when it’s awake as the red light flashes.
