      So today I decided enough is enough with Hyundai. Early this week got told by the sales manager that my order been cancelled he said he send me out a new order firm to sigh by email. Guess what it never arrived. So today I ordered a Skoda. The dealer said I needed to cancel my order. I said you told me I don’t have a order and you never sent a new order. The Skoda has cost me over 4k but at least I don’t have and more crap with Hyundai and the dealership. My new Kodiaq will be here in the next 10 days as it’s at the port. I hope you guys get sorted but I lost hope with the company and it was better for me to get this unpleasant experience dealt with once and for all. My last message to Hyundia was customers have choices and it help it you remembered that when dealing with them.

      What you chose?

        The facelift Tucson a good deal this quarter with a saving of £1600 compared to the previous. £500 from Motorvogue makes it a bargain if you opt for the HEV/PHEV, especially whn I paid £2100 more 😡

          European manufacturers should be ahead of the game with their matrix headlights, well epecially over their Asian counterparts with their matrix headlights but, when a maufacturer like Hyundai produces matrix headlights that are more or less on par with BMW, there is something quite wrong, with the workings of europe thses days.

            Missed them last night unfortunately however, I typically get a good view when visable more south as my house high up away from the towns light pollution. Believe they will be visable again tonight esp if sky’s stay clear.

              . That cant be right surely, you sure your dealer isn’t lying, i had similar problems with my dealer until he cancelled it without reason and then i was supplied a car in days after he did that, id wait until Motability get back to you. Im picking my car up Saturday

              .. To be fair to my dealer I get on quite well with them and he was very apologetic when he called, I don’t believe they are at it as he couldn’t understand what’s going on either!! Ive arranged to go and see him tomorrow and I hope Ive calmed down by then, Im still incandescent !!!!

              I would still pop round to your dealer and ask if you can see the memo!

                    the grants team dont look at the price they look at your need as a disabled person . just the disabled person your family circumstances dont come into it as the car is for the disabled person so if any of the reasons for a different car is anything but disability they will ignore it as thats what i got told of a very helpful person in the grants team when mobility used to do it

                    That seems like a daft restriction, as many Motability cars will be the only car within a household and therefore it needs to meet the needs of that family. A disabled person surely needs to be able to go out with their family?

                    They will take your immediate family into consideration, along with the needs of the driver ~(if its not the disabled person driving) and any external care givers.

                      As I understand it with grants is, you are offered an award amount (£x), along with a catagory (size) of vehicle they are willing to fund and a short list of vehicle’s them deem suitable for your needs. This forms the basis of your needs.  You can choose any vehicle in the catorgory you were awarded, which doesn’t need to be on the list up to the value of the award plus 50% from your own funds if needed.

                        Exactly & what has mad Ed spent £22bn on carbon capture on a tiny island, that won’t make a blind bit of difference, in the grand scheme of things. China is building new coal power stations, as we close are last, the world is near to war but, have no fear the eco warriors are about!

                            I was only saying to mrs kezo earlier in the week, that there’s no logic to the AP’s, when talking about our car we have only had a couple of months, suddenly becomes £1600 cheaper, when there has been no change in the retail market.

                                    Does anyone know what ASD active sound design is ? Its listed on both the ultimate and the n line s. The artificial engine noises on the 5N are called active sound, maybe they added that to the my25 range ?

                                    Think of the noise the starship enterprise makes on warp drive 😂

                                        Like the new Tiguan, there seems to be oodles of piano black, especialy across the dash, therfore the Kodiaq is the one to beat in the VW group

                                          A word of caution,

                                          Photograph or video the car when you first get it and note any damage not listed to Motability. Also phograph the fuel level and the mileage, when you take delivery.

                                          When you return the car do the above again.

                                              Tbh u the time you buy all of that you could buy a home battery system that would give you more flexibility and better results. Don’t forget even if you do all of that there’s limits on usage and it’s OK for us who never own the car but if you own it why would you want to take life out of you fifty grand car? It’s a nice idea but looking at the details it’s not really practical. Out of curiosity what is the OP looking to run that means without V2l the Enyaq is out? Just being nosy really. Obviously you’re taking power thru the charging port so you can’t use that power whilst driving. If it’s for charging a decent truse sinewave inverter could do that from 12v if its camping if it were me I’d look at portable power banks some of these now can put out and store a lot of power. I wonder if those options mean you have more choice of car it might be worth considering.

                                              V2H is the easy part as it intergrates through a Bidirection charger with your home/grid (V2x), through the charging port. Think of it as one very big battery storage system.

                                              V2L is essentially the same princple, with the exception it is primarily geared up to power a morowave, toaster fridge, kettle etc. Thats not to say V2L can’t power appliances, charge a home battery or assist with a powercut, within your home or even run the home, becase it can, it just needs to be intergrated in a different way and act more like a generator, incorporating a automatic or manual transfer switch.

                                              Hyundai/Kia for example, also allow you to make use of V2L, whils’t on the move or camping (if thats your forte), by the use of an in cabin socket aswell as the charging port. MG have V2L but I’m not sure if  its only from the charge port.

                                              Useing a 12v inverter of the 12v battery in  a EV, when there’s a large battery bank available kind of defeats the object and we know EV’s are tempremental with their 12v batteries at the best of times.

                                                I’m sure our car is a 25, it was built early August and delivered mid September. Anyone know how to check if it’s a 25 model?

                                                Digit 10 of the VIN denotes the model year on VW group cars, if I remember

                                                MY24 = R

                                                MY25 = S

                                                Worked from my 2017 (H) Skoda, discounting I and Q (U/Z) which are not used by VW.

                                                  Just checked with Skoda UK, the Enyak does not have V2L capabilities 😪, it is now off the list.

                                                  After doing some digging, it seems VW will offer V2H at some point in the future but, contrary to the main players who will AC biderectional for V2x, VW will offer DC biderectional. The issue is, DC would be too expensive for home use en mass and Bidirectional AC is where it is going to take off industry wide. Think VHS/Betamax!

                                                  VW seem to be keeping it in house, compared to say Hyundai or the rest of the industry going down the Bidirectional AC route which in essence means the owner can choose which Bidirectional charger to use, such as Wallboxes Quasar 2.

                                                  On the other hand VW who developed their BiFi in Sweden and is currently availble in Germany, the V2H functionality will only be available for customers with the integrated Home Energy Management System (HEMS) from Volkswagen partner HagerEnergy, and to those vehicles with a big enough battery and with the ID. Software 3.5. Not only will this sytem tie you to VW brands, it will cost substantially more compared to a choice of third party charger manufacturers, when the technologhy becomes mainstream.

                                                      The Enyaq definitely doesn’t have V2L. Also, the brown eco suite interior is no longer available since the introduction of the my25 model.

                                                      It looks as if VW at least has been promising V2x since 2022 “EVs powered by the company’s 77kWh battery will receive an over-the-air update, letting drivers plug into a bi-directional charger to power their homes.”

                                                      Shame about the Ecosuite, the brown leather makes it look business like.
