nice to hear from you lee. Citroen must owe you a free one by now, or at least a three month trial in the latest model.
that could be a very costly mistake! the Organisation that owns the Trade Mark for “Drivability” might have something to say about that.
He also doesn’t notice me when he drives past me where as he always gave a wave and a pump of the horn
lol he does, he is just thinking to himself. “oh no its that nosy neighbour again, always seems to be judging me , cheek i’ve be driving since before he was born, i couild show him a thing or too”
to complicated for me. all that arguing over who has the yacht which weeks, but dont worry if i win i’ll invite aboard lol.

Normally they are finished around 2 weeks before. BigDave will be all over it dont worry. Thanks Dave.
I’d love a lightweight folding motability scooter that would go in my boot that’s easy to fold would do at least 5 miles on a charge for my local country park one mile away and won’t break the bank ? Any advice most welcome thankyou
as you cant have both on the scheme, im assuming your meaning Mobility and not Motability as stated. looking at Motability scooters would imply you’ve decided not continue with a car through the scheme, unless your partner is also eligible and your looking to combine the two.
assuming your looking to private purchase/rent it may sound silly but actually using the Motability website is a good way of researching them. https://www.motability.co.uk/ searching the Motability site and clicking on the “search for scooters and powered wheelchairs” then narrow down the criteria, you can then get info on and compare the ones that suits, info on power/mileage etc once you’ve compared and decided which ones are suitable then click on the” find a local dealer” you may find they have returned/reconditioned stock. buying/leasing through them may be a bit more expensive than other routes but they are more likely to help you with servicing/replacement parts and repairs buying through them.
we too have just extended, mainly due to not really anything standing out to warrant change and those that may be of consideration im not able to Kick the Tyres of, narrowing down the choice is the part i find enjoyable, i would be happy with another like for like change (Tucson) but having paid around £2100 Ap and having only coverd around 18000 miles apart from maybe a hoover and a polish i see no point in paying another 2-3 thousand Ap to get the same vehicle. plus with a noticeable facelift due the decision was made to extend, Motability even with the lock downs have continued with their Targeting the one million eligible but not on the scheme with another 10,000 leaflets/packs sent out via DWP which im sure help keep the sales up, the percentage to retail sales growth is at a high at present.
18,997Scheme vehicle registrations in December 2020
14.3%of UK registrations in December 2020 were for Scheme vehiclescould become a common sight. I Only Need Enough To Get Home!
with Hyundai/Kia set to release new platform electric cars this month with 80% charge in around 18 minutes things are looking up.
probably very popular now, but i was considering “Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day” (Captain Tom) if the book contains anything like the way he came across with his enthusiasm and outlook on life and for others then it will be a very inspirational read.
If I were a Scot I would be happy to leave this particular intractable problem to the experts!
probably best as Scott’s are becoming fewer over the years. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-51673123 with only 29 of them in 2019 in Scotland, maybe best to leave it to Jack
thank you @bigdave makes for some interesting reading
i think they will have a fancy new logo, costing a fair penny designed by a friend of the new CEO, and one of his former colleges from his Guardian days becoming press officer, motability will get on channel4 and a right up in the Autotrader and we will all get discounts at McDonalds oh and they may change over to the AA.
its windows 10 home Joss, there was always still 2.3GB space so i dont see that would effect picture quality, it really is noticeable, Youtube videos look so much better in the last couple of days. ive stoped windows updating so its not anything to do with that.
not a problem more a niggle on my part of not knowing, im not the most Tech savvy and this might sound obvious to the more in the know people amonst us, But for a while my laptop has been saying low on storage, its never bothered me as i only use it at home for the forum, Youtube, google earth etc i dont need to store stuff on this one, but because the notice came up again the other day when transferring some video files to upload to the Forum i decided to delete some things to free up space. i looked through what i could delete and as i dont need all the original stuff thats on the laptop i deleted the 4 Acer programs from when i got the laptop. that freed up some space and ive thought nothing of it until tonight whilst watching a couple of Youtube vids, sorry im getting there lol. now i noticed one of the videos looked great quality wise and just thought they must have a great setup, but then i noticed the picture quility looked better on a users channel i m used to watching, so i watched one of watched before and noticed that that too seemed better. So my question is would the freeing up of space improved video quality although videos seemed fine before or has Youtube done a update and improved something because it is noticeable. now i cant decide if the videos look better on the Tablet and Tv as im not so used to watching them on those. And No i havent been to specsavers in the last couple of days.
well done Mitch.
to be honest even upping the Budget to £1500 i think the Ateca comes out on top although it does open up a Tiguan but spec wise and comfort and entry for a larger Gent the Ateca wins for Me, step up to £1750 and a Q3 and Kuga becomes available but for that Money the Ateca Spec is on another level.
if searching just Large SUV with £1000 Budget and Automatic then out of 14 my choice would be the Ateca
i don’t know what the government Covid-19 safety guidance are around payments but i found this. (so i would say dont give or enter the pin until you’ve checked the vehicle, at least gives a bit of reassurance should there be an issue, even if payment has been made)
How does a remote application work?
Motability Sales Specialists progress an application in the usual way using Online Applications (OLA), while the customer (or appointee) is present on a telephone or video call.
The dealership is closed due to lockdown. Can the customer collect their vehicle?
Yes – if you offer a ‘click and collect’ service for retail customers just hand over the Motability vehicle in the same way (plus PIN entry). Vehicles must be collected from an active location at your dealership (e.g. aftersales parking area). You must follow the latest government Covid-19 safety guidelines.
What about advance payments?
Contact the customer to arrange how the advance payment will be made in accordance with government Covid-19 safety guidance.
Does the customer still need to enter the PIN?
Yes – this can be done via a mobile device or tablet (while following Covid-19 safety guidelines) or the customer can provide their PIN verbally for your Sales Specialist to enter. Contact the customer ahead of the handover to agree how they will enter the PIN.
Do i have 24 hour care, do i employ a carer, do i take medication for my disability, have i made an insurance claim on my current car or any other , any one else experienced this ? I cant see any of the above related in the PDF by @jmac .
i think a couple of the questions show in the videos. i did asked motabiliity about carer and care home etc and was told it because of insurance purposes. i will try and answer the way i understood i best i can. if yes is ticked then it opens another page for further details/declorations , the insurance claims one is shown in the video and that one ive been asked for years everytime you get an insurance qoute/hire a vehicle etc pretty standard i think, the employed carer/care home/school is not them checking up its because it changes the insurance from the standard domestic use to business and another form needs filling out plus there was mention of depending on criteria a tracker may need fitting (another form). medication wise they have a list of medications by dvla that may bar you from driving or invalidate insurance so another form/futher info needed to confirm your ok to drive. the way she explained it didnt make it seem like they were prying just fact gathering and making sure we the customer are aware of our liabilities and responsibilities (and geeting us to sign/confirm we know). more covering their ass some might say. i forgot to ask about the payment but have read somewhere entering of the pin is still in place (there is an exemption on the customers behalf by a named driver if needed i think) ill see if i can find it. in normal time we have always just paid by debit card on the day so dont know about that one, i personally wouldnt pay by bankers draft though surely chip or pin or bacs on handover day would do.
ive done a bit of digging/checking/asking. and this may help put minds at rest of the standard questions and tick box exercises Dealerships have to complete and covers most of concerns mentioned or simply may be of interest to others. I was told, its worth baring in mind all forms etc are/have to cover a wide array of people eligible to the scheme and may not apply in a lot of cases and are not aimed to be personal but needed to establish/gather liability/declarations were needed.

these are YouTube training videos and examples not real people or personal details, but show what the salesperson sees. note these are from 2018 when they first started the Digital Journey (i used full screen+pause to see it better)

and this one may help those returning vehicle or wondering how they determine Good Condition Bonus
i guess it depends on the sales person, thinking about it we didnt even realise some were questions as things were dropped into conversation and the whole process was relaxed, but like with the written word and questions over the phone they can seem a bit robotic. i know we live in a digital world but i must admit i prefer the in person face to face interaction with a good old fashioned hand shake. oh they were the days lol.
