      I found an interesting little video, hopefully I can get it working. As an intro, SCR are distributers for a number of very highly regarded audio manufacturers for after market car audio upgrades, including a number of companies that have high end awards that genuinely mean they can sound fantastic, even in a car’s awful environment. The guy in charge was my first judge back when I was spending more than my car was worth on making music play rather well. https://fb.watch/AyvJDyfM-j/

        I didn’t say I said it all, I said “basically”

        Wasn’t being rude, simply stating that you just iterated what I said, as I already said that all have the 40 with M Sport Pro etc

          That’s basically what I just said above 🤦

          As for the 35, you should join some i4 groups and you’ll see the 35 is the go to model they go for

            I personally wouldn’t touch a VW dealership, they left me for 3yrs with a nackered Tiguan saying nothing was wrong, soonnas warranty ran out miraculously the issues in had with my DPF and DSG box they found the issue, a service tech assaulted me and my wife ( previous history with him outside of the dealers though )

            I’d speak to a Skoda dealership and see about one of their MEB platform cars ( Enyaq etc )

            They’re nicer than the ID.4 anyway

                I went to my local omoda dealer in hull today and they said it definitely isn’t going to be on motability as its their “flagship” model

                  I think we’re gonna take the kids for a test drive in one

                  I just wish they had what was available in the scheme model wise as they all seem to only have the e-drive40 with M Sport Pro etc

                    Can’t you swap tariff to octopus 7p/KW one to charge overnight?

                    The running costs and range combined is what outtme of my order so I cancelled, I have a home charger etc but at 380 ISH miles per tank and charge it simply isn’t good enough for a “new” platformed car, for it’s sheer size they could easily of fitted a larger battery ( VW etc manage it in smaller cars )

                    So the only thing you can do is see what Octopus can do for you tariff wise if you’re not on the EV tariff already

                      That’s where I think my problem could be as I’m 6’3″

                      I have test drove one before but never had our kids with us so may have to revisit it with them to full see the situation

                      Although I am also hoping the Omoda 9 SHS comes available in Q3 too

                          BMW X5 30d M Sport, for which I’d pay £15-£20K AP but, as that’s not going to happen a BMW X1 23i M Sport – but that’s not going to happen either 😔 Sadly, the thought of yet another batch of EVs being added doesn’t excite me one bit!

                          Nice choices, if love to see the 4 Series 420i on too 😂

                              I agree with you, although I think 4-6k is a fair deposit for such a car and tech etc

                              I would how ever put you away from the Peugeot though, the cars as a complete cluster of issues etc

                              Myself and my wife had them and both mechanically rejected

                                Make sure your sitting down when you see the AP, if the Omoda 5 is anything to go from when it first joined lol.

                                To be fair for the car you’re getting it’s gonna be worth it spec wise! Cost more on a BMW etc for the same tech inside

                                  VW really don’t want to stay in business do they.

                                  Look at the VAG group as a whole! There’s no diversity or styling change, all their cars look pretty much identical inside and out ( model etc ) same buggy software and the build quality is poor now and you don’t get the same tech as you did 5+yr ago, now you have to add packs etc!

                                        I wonder if any other manufacturers get these sent to them, as I rang Omoda yesterday and they said they don’t get them until the 1st of every quarter at 8am

                                            Hi everyone, i recently received a parking charge notice from a company called nexus for £60 if paid in 14 days or £200 thereafter and I immediately appealed the charge as I was in a disabled bay and had explained i definitely displayed my blue badge and also explained my circumstances including being a double leg amputee but the next day i received an email stating my appeal was rejected? I was parked at Livingston shopping centre but have never experienced having a ticket as I had been parked for 2.5 hrs and 2 hours i think was the allowance but displayed my blue badge? should i pay it?

                                            Absolutely no

                                                  The reason Tesla ain’t available in the scheme is because of the following

                                                  Tesla inform you that you car is due and you have to pay for it, if you don’t it can’t then it’s offered to another customer with the same spec and you have another ordered

                                                  Motability take upto 3mths to pay for their cars to a dealership so Tesla’s business model doesn’t work for Motability.
