As long as you’re careful there’s nothing there to damage. Use plastic tools, plenty of heat and work a spudger around the outside cutting the glue.
You can loosen it with ispropanol too but heat, plastic spudger and patience it will come off its not hard. Then just stick the new badge on. If you don’t want to do it I’m sure any garage would do it for you for a few quid.
Get on to the ceo at motability they’ll kick the dealers bum. After collection make sure you leave a suitable review everywhere for said dealer lol.
If it were me I’d contact the dealer principle and make your displeasure known
Can’t remember but don’t think it wasever that high. However Ford don’t seem shy about whacking their APs up. They used to be really fair with their pricing the Galaxy and Smax were very good prices but Ford and Kia seem to love their high APs
Like the look of the Explorer shame Ford copied the bits that VW did that would irritate me endlessly
Fingers crossed for the ID7 Touring at £1k!!
Amen to that!! 😀 Looking at the APs for the other electric VW offerings £4k seems possible for the ID7,
That would be nice. However, it’s a £55k car so even if it does come on the scheme, my prediction is an AP of around £7k. I’d probably order the Explorer and be prepared to cancel if you’re lucky with the ID7
The 85x Enyaq is over £52k yet the AP on that was quite low at one point under 2k
Motability are terrible for alternate communication I had a pong argument with them about applying for a grant without calling. It wasn’t until I said its like you’re using voice analysis software and tghats why you’re forcing us to use the phone that they backed down.
The general phone staff seem pretty uneducated when I’ve dealt with them they generally had the well that’s tough attitude.
I had them try to rake hire car away and leave me with nothing as the Enyaq was taking so long. When I asked for help they said no tough. When I went to the ceo they immediately sorted it and promised we’ll keep you in a far until yours arrives.
You have to be prepared to go to the top and fight your corner but it’s not good enough imho
I’m getting 300 miles odd per charge, only had the car since July so dunno about colder weather but I’d probably stop for a 10 min charge and loo break to not leave yourself short. The Enyaq charges fast so doesnt take much
That diamond pack is a huge box of autoglym stuff plus what they put on the car inside and out. Dunno what it is but it makes dog hair just blow straight out of the car.
You’re going to love the car it’s awesome plus you’re two grand better off too. Really pleased you’re sorted.
If you go to the infotainment screen tap Car top right then flip to second screen there’s an offers button.
There’s an Ovo offer for 3 months free light boost which gets you a 10% discount per kwh charging at lots of networks. It’s only worth £6 (plus whatever you save on charging) but every little bit helps.
There’s also a few other reasonable offers like fog food and readly
So don’t buy it, I didn’t do it for the paint I got it for the scotch guard interior coating for my benefit as we have dogs and teenagers.
You get a new car payment I used a portion of that plus you pay on collection so there’s plenty of time to save up. Equally no ones making you have it I certainly don’t care who does what and I’m not advocating either way. The question was asked so I answered it.
The reduction in AP also contributed and I got a grant for the AP so my contribution was that. Had I funded it myself I probably wouldn’t have bothered
I had the coating stuff dunno if it was that but it was £250 for motability customers reduced from £500, including scotch guarding the interior.
Aside from the coating you get a huge box of car detailing products from Autoglym which if bought separetly was very expensive but like I said I only really went for it for the interior treatment
Yes that’s very cool trouble with 3d printing is it takes knowledge and patience looooots of patience there’s no denying 3d printing has changed the world for special needs especially.
There’s room for both of course but having something mass produced specifically designed to be adaptable and all in pretty cheap compared to lots of disability aids.
I was tech at a high school when we got a 3d printer and a site licence for solid works it was a real pita to get working. Forget what it was now but it was ten years ago. Love the fact now you can buy one unpack it and print a benchy out in minutes instead of setting it up and spending a day tweaking settings
My eldest has his eye on a MEng course next school year the industrial 3d printers they have on campus just blow your mind.
Good few years ago went to a trade show and HP were showing off their up and coming resin printers they were incredible back then.
Having said all that given how much force is often applied I reckon this controller will end up being longer lived lol
I dunno when I had the MG I was out in winter and more than once had the jets freeze up during a journey despite being high concentrate screenwash. Not having an engine under there does have the odd disadvantage.
I reckon they’ve removed them as its something most won’t even notice and maybe it’s a part they struggle to get in
When is anything disabled cheap. All you have to do to make money is add pet, disabled or child as a descriptor on something and boom you quadruple the price lol.
Anyway I expect the price will come down with economy of scale this literally launched a days ago after years of development. They’re also releasing certain parts as cad drawings so you can 3d print some of the parts.
Considering how many contacts you need to make on each part and how complex the contact areas are. I’m amazed it’s as cheap as it is.
They’ve already listened to customers and released a separate usb dongle so you can turn one kit into 2 controllers for copilot. Personally I think this is one time that the price is truly justified no it’s not cheap but it also does something no one else on the planet is doing.
The testimonials are really interesting
Yeah when my dad was with us they had foster kids at school over 30 miles each way. Add on shopping, leisure, Dr’s appointment etc it’s scary how soon that all adds up
Totally amazing savings I was putting £200 a month of diesel in the grand voyager now the cost of home charging is almost nothing esp on a sunny day with solar
He’s home OK now bit shaken up by his decision definitely a cry for help rather than not wanting to be here.
Hospital were brilliant got him outta a and e straight away into a quiet away with lowered lighting.
He’s got a referral to mental health etc fwiw.
Hopefully once he starts college that stress hanging over him will be gone he doesn’t like nor cope with change so I think once Sept rolls around and he’s done the bus journey and met his fellow students he’ll be OK.
Found out he has an online girlfriend, no it’s definitely not a creep or anything but it was her who told him to tell us what he’d done so she’s got her head screwed on at least. Wonder how long until I’m doing trips up and down the country so they can see each other lol
Mine was about 93% when I picked it up and I’m getting around 4 miles per kwh on a long trip with aircon blasting and not being very careful
You’ve really got to remember that a contract is nearly always written to benefit the business. Look at the Disney plus contract saying you can never sue Disney for anything if you subscribe even once.
A contract is a contract it’s enforceable same as a handshake. Whether it says contract or not is irrelevant a contract is merely a written definition of a transaction. Now you can’t sue over this because you have no material loss as such you haven’t paid money and gotten the wrong car so it’s whether you agree to this car or what they’re going to do to make you feel whole.
I suspect you’re gonna struggle as most stuff they’d bundle in situations like this are covered by motability like a free service etc.
I’d outright ask them did you sell my car and replace it with this stock one? If it were me I’d be sorely tempted to go to another dealer but it is kinda cutting your nose to spite your face at that point too.
Never ever ever pay the full AP ahead of delivery. Had the dealer gone bust your money would go poof with it. Always pay a deposit of £100 min on a credit card so you have section 75 cover.
There’s zero need for an AP up front it’s a scam. If motability are going to allow this then they should act as guarantor and protect your money. If mot they should say max £100 deposit
Can’t see it? That sound even more suspicious.
Of course there’s a contract at this stage you literally get it when you order. It’s not the full lease contract obviously but you choose a car and they agree to supply said car at said price there’s signed paperwork an order form ergo a contract. It might be electronically signed but it’s still a contract.
They do a lower level of the course he wants so if he didn’t meet the entry requirements he could have done that as an access course anyway.
He’s very sensitive and quiet doesn’t normally talk. He’s had ASD symptoms since a baby, diabetes recent and now probably coeliac too he missed so much school in Y11 due to health and he had to drop Wednesdays to stay home and he still managed good grades.
He has a quite academic sibling which I think he compares himself too but he’s just wired up different. I hope he’s gonna do better being treated like an adult at college very different environment.
I got a call at 4am to go pick them up as his para levels were low enough to not need a nac infusion as the first one takes 8 hours apparently. So we were home in bed by 5 and they’re still asleep now letting them lie in.
Yeah probably but it’s probably in their contract they can’t use that to do deals whole point of the agency model was universal prices to the consumer
Wow that’s appalling if accurate. How can they put out cars with such obvious faults and then lie to customers
It’s for places that don’t accept debit cards at the charger also this means you don’t get shafted with pre auth fees.
Say you have 2 or 3 failed charge starts that could be £300 locked up for days and these cards avoid that.
Honestly there’s very little reason to use it that aside you’re better off with the ovo was bonnet card as at least that gets you discounts on charging rates.
