I’d ring RAC and get them out to do a temporary fix so you can drive to Kwick Fit. If you’re at home I’d ring them early in the morning to give them plenty of time to come out.

It’s a shame the Tesla is too low for us to get into.[/quote]
Have you tried the Model Y, it’s higher and they have similar PCP deals.

We do not proactively share data externally and it would only be shared where required by law, for example in the context of a criminal investigation. All data is stored securely and used strictly for insurance purposes.
Interesting!

The interest free credit is a massive bonus on this deal. I had a look at new Model Y financing from Tesla.
60 months 10k miles per year
Deposit £7150
Monthly £299
Final payment £16983
Add to this around £8k off if you need adaptions as Mrs Joe does and it gets even better.

As for winnings, we spend around £50 a month on lottery, Thunderball and Euromillions. We pay by direct debit so never miss a draw, winnings are paid into bank account a few days later. I’d say most months we probably get around £25 ish back, sometimes less very occasionally more, most we ever won was around £500 on Euromillions.

If you need adaptions you may be able to get the 20% VAT back making it an even better deal.

I said a few days ago on here, I really hope the government is making plans behind the scenes, as they do seem very quiet compared to other countries.

The Satnav on our Enyaq constantly tells us a 30 zone is a 20, it’s incorrect, how many red marks would we get for that?
In this case, you’d be going well under the speed limit, so no red marks
It could be classed as failing to make progress or undue hesitation. It raises a bigger question with the accuracy of the information they are using.

Was just reading an online piece stating that, allegedly, “Drivers under the age of 30 on Motability will have to have a black box fitted from now on. New rules come in today for Motability drivers – with a 10-day limit to sign up. The new black boxes will be installed for all drivers leasing their first car or wheelchair accessible vehicle on the Motability Scheme and all vehicles where there is a driver on the lease under 30 years old. Vehicles will be equipped with telematics devices that will track driving behaviour, including speed and braking patterns, and will generate a weekly rating of green, amber or red. Motability says that safe drivers (ones that stay in the green) could earn up to £160 a year in rewards to spend – however drivers with four red ratings over a 12-month period could be removed from the Motability scheme.” Regardless of the animosity this course of action has already stirred up within the disabled community….why is it only Black Boxers that get rewarded for driving safely? Where’s the £160 of rewards to spend for those of us that are over 30 and haven’t flattened the neighbours Chihuahua doing burnouts and donuts in our cul de sacs?
I was thinking this myself, our car is always returned spotless with below average miles.

Vehicles on the scheme – 718.
The way things are going 718 will be the number of customers on the scheme!

It depends, EVs deprecate quite quick. I’ve know people who bought 2 year old evs, but then they deprecate below the loan amount quite quick. Plus, if you need adaptations it becomes well less great. For adaptations on motability you can get alot covered, or they’re highly subsidised. You could be paying upwards of £7K on top to get those adaptations.
People who get PIP and need adaptations, like Mrs Joe, tend to be more severely disabled and less likely to loose the benefit, Mrs Joe is on a 10 year light touch award.
Of course there are people getting PIP who would be up the creak without a paddle if they lost it, but they are more likely to stay on the scheme. The main issue here is there are many people who get PIP who work and have savings and a good credit history, these are the people who are more likely to leave the scheme.

There is one “rule” with HP….keep up the monthly payments or car gets repossessed you lose everything paid…
You could always secure your own finance and buy the car outright, if you lose PIP you can sell the car and pay off the finance. This is what I always did when buying 1 or 2 year old cars.

I just changed mine in the scenic etech. Plenty of notice it needed changing as I took two weeks to do it. Very easy to do with just hands. Also has a key inside it, as have all fobs I’ve had. Does the enyaq not have one?
Enyaq does have a key blade to get in, but you can’t do anything once in as I’m certain the key fob needs to have power to start the car.
Enyaq EV
You can also unlock the car with the Skoda App on your phone…thats if its not in the locked car..lol.
Ours always asks for the S pin and it’s never correct.
Enyaq EV
Just a reminder from me to other Enyaq owners, think about changing your key fob battery. I’ve decided to do ours every 4 months as the last three didn’t last 6 months. I don’t want to be locked out in the supermarket again.

We are definitely coming off the scheme when the current lease is up, we’ll be getting the no claims letter ourselves. I hate to say it but it seems to me the right wing press have made getting a car on Motability a stigma.

Where are you looking for this info? Ta
Shoreham have a few ex Motability.
How about this for a low mileage example:

Can anyone tell me how many times in an average week you’re able to charge at the cheap rate (during the day) when using OIG? We charge half price on a Sunday using British Gas Peak Save Sunday, 4/5 hours usually does us for the week.
One charge at night is 6 hours, that should do you for the week? No need to charge during the day at all?? Is that what you mean?
I prefer to charge during the day, don’t like leaving the car plugged in overnight. I wondering if there are enough daytime cheap hours to do this.

I’d love to drive a tractor, I can picture myself driving up and down the fields listening to my tunes, just like Kaleb.There is a bit more to tractor driving than going up and down listening to music!
I can imagine.

I had to drive a petrol car last week, it honestly felt like driving a tractor, really loud and rough.
@jojoe Obviously someone hasn’t had the pleasure of driving a new New Holland T7.270 or a John Deere 8R.410 with the new eAutopower EVT automatic gearbox! I don’t know why people think tractors have to be quote ‘loud and rough’! The above mentioned two tractors are both quiet and smooth. There is hardly any need for the cup holders as the cab air suspension works so well. I do admit my 1970’s diesel Ford County or my 1950’s International may be slightly rough but they are 50/70 years old. They kick out more black smoke than burning tyres, but that is part of the fun of driving them – giving road lice (ruddy cyclists) a few good lungfuls of it!

We’ve had our EV 18 months, we both absolutely love it. the drive is so quiet, smooth and effortless, the regen braking is fantastic. I had to drive a petrol car last week, it honestly felt like driving a tractor, really loud and rough. We have the car on Motability for Mrs Joe, I’m thinking of buying a used car for my own use and it’s definitely going to be an EV.
I can see demand for used EV’s increasing due to them being more affordable.
I genuinely believe in choice, I f people want to stick with ICE, let them.
