          A  way to “shrink” the availability of the up market brands ..would be to impose a blanket maximum AP restriction on all cars of say £2,000.

          You would still be able to get an Alfa and an Audi

              Read my first response again >> You could always ask the dealership for a courtesy vehicle,it wont be adapted but if you could manage a standard vehicle give it a go…you might have to give the dealership a week or so to find a workshop slot coupled with courtesy vehicle availablity.

              Can you help me understand your point, please? Despite I have clearly explained I require left foot accelerator, you keep suggesting I shall brake the law and drive what the garage has just because I can?

              Looks like you are in a sticky situation hope you get it resolved.

                  It doesn’t work that way anymore: the dealer now needs to raise a ticket directly with RAC. And RAC refused. The dealer is more than happy to give me one of their vehicles. But what will I do without left foot accelerator? I won’t take my chances with it on M3.

                  Never had a problem at my Ford dealership..always very helpfull in providing one of there own courtesy cars for any in house sevice work.

                      To be clear this 5.4 version software update is for “pre facelift” cars is that correct ?

                       

                      My facelift 2025 Enyak is running 5.4 perfectly.

                        I,m old and i dont like change.

                        But i bit the bullet and got a Dell PC with Windows 11 several months ago.

                        My previous PC another Dell had been upgraded to Windows 10….but it began failing as a PC so i jumped.

                        Its like owt else even tho i dont like change..you get used to it the more you use it.

                          My journey today was to go back to the Skoda dealer to get my tyre repair kit that was missing from the Elroq – they were kind enough to give me one but apparently Skoda no longer include this – not sure this is true across all Skoda, just EVs or just Elroq.

                          The online car builder tyre repair kit included.

                           

                          When i took delivery of my new Sportline 85x in June with the optional 21″ supernova alloys,i checked the boot for the tyre repair kit and it was missing,phoned the dealer up and they invited me to come and collect it.

                          Gets to dealer and and they told me because i had the 21″ wheels fitted the car did not come with a repair kit………so how do i inflate a punctured tyre ?……..you dont was the answer……..they summoned a mechanic to explain the 21″ tyres are self sealing and he showed me an old tyre and it had this layer of black stuff lining the inner tread part of the tyre.

                            Looked at 85x sportline in meteor grey today and pretty certain it’ll be my next MB car. Just wondering if anyone had any experience of getting discount on options?

                            Discount on options..you can always ask.

                             

                            What options are you considering ?

                            I went for the  Velvet Red exclusive paint it is exclusive allright you wont see another Enyak dressed up in it,but its a lovely colour,btw it does cost over £1000 but you dont pay the whole amount they take the standard colours cost away from it,so it costs just under £400

                            The other option  i went with are the 21″ supernova alloys,absolutely gorgeous,they are just under £700.

                            Ive lost count of the people walking past me and the car..saying that looks good mate

                                  @mitch i had an St Line X from 2021 the 2.0 D AWd version for 3 years and it was great car only gripe was the driver seat it was very very firm with minimal side bolster….but with the update facelift the seating was uprated to the AGR ergo seats which are a big improvment,and the infotaiment system has had a restyle and been improved.Still like them.

                                  Would i have the green colour…..nah.

                                  I was temped to have another but the AP’s for the model i would choose was way too much,so i went with the Enyak and have never thought i made the wrong choice.

                                    Makes me smile everyday,it has everything you want in a car (imho) it has plenty of physical buttons on the steering wheel (not haptic) and below the centre infotainment screen a row of physical buttons.My car has HUD but i have switched it off.

                                    I just had to have the exclusive velvet red paint and the 21″ supernova’s.

                                      @slowdriver i would get in contact with Motability and ask them to get you an installer that will fit an Ohme charger.

                                        When i placed my order with Motability…it was Ohme that supplied the wall charger.

                                        I’m a British Gas customer i’m on the Electric Driver V11 tariff…it has worked perfectly with the Ohme App.

                                          Ive just taken delivery of a Skoda Enyak Sportline facelift i ordered it with the exclusive Velvet Red paint which costs £1,065 the dealership took the metalic paint cost £680 into consideration so i paid the difference between the two.

                                            Picked up my facelift sportline yesterday,in velvet red with the 21″ supernova alloys….it is lush.

                                            Can now have my back massaged while looking at the 360 camera….oh turned the HUD off dont like it.

                                            Set the Canton up and the car is rocking.

                                            Regen braking cant be totally switched like i did in the old car.

                                            The front brake disc’s are nice and shiney across the whole disc surface,unlike the old car.

                                              Possibly more cars being returned at the end of lease with damage which could have been repaired,punters will weigh up the £250 excess against the loss of £250 good condition bonus.

                                                  The updated Skoda App i have version 8.3 on my phone,appears to have removed the info section which gives you scores on your driving. If you still have this feature on your phone where is it located ?

                                                  Asked Matts on his YT Electrified Speicher channel and he says Skoda have removed it.

                                                  Good that was a complete invasion of privacy when I opened up the app one day and it had displayed my driving history and gave me a score without letting us know, I want a car not a bloody nanny cam, granted it was quite a high score but considering VG groups record and recent hacks the less information they hold the better.

                                                   

                                                  It will be coming back Skoda are doing a re-design,whenever that happens.
