It isn't.... It's not a deal breaker at all. As I already said, I wasn't even aware of the data ability of the car when i bought it, but the implementation of such a small limit is tantamount to a token gesture, making it feel a bit pointless. I too tether my data from my phone and hotspot the...

Did you read the bit where I said not a deal breaker?

I collected my vehicle as new on November 26th. Not realising there was even internet in the car until I saw the 4G symbol so started investigating it in the way home, I found the weather widget updated, and then discovered Amazon music which i logged in to. On the 15th December I emailed the...

My brand new Extended range has dropped it's internet connection today too. It signed me out of amazon music and had the aeroplane symbol in the top right too. Interestingly, I saw the data icon was disabled so I turned it on and the 4g with full bars appeared but still no connection. Too...

Sure, but who's going to take responsibility?! The dealer isn't there any more. The finance company will just point to the paperwork and say it's what the type of loan it is and I should have been told (I wasn't, but can't prove that.)

Although it's not strictly their cockup, it would be the dealer, who is now out of business.....

I'll see what the comeback is when I challenge them but yeah, that was my thinking too.

I've requested a complaint call back so will find out in due course. I suspect it's the middle one as they said they hold no interest in the car and I can sell it at any point.

Welp, Satander have insisted they're not going to VT so I guess I'll be parking my 5 up until March & handing it back with the excess mileage then! They're insisting it's a "fixed term loan agreement, not a PCP" despite their being a GFV stated in the agreement. Oh well.

The ER still has 100hp MORE than the mg5 I currently drive so I'll still have the Mrs shouting at me!!

Deposit on a mg4 extended range this morning. I figured I value the range more than the grim from the traffic light GP! I sent Satander a VT request and am awaiting what they come back with. Can't wait to quote consumer law to them!

Oh I can't wait for this to get cocked up!!

It's definitely a PCP, I've looked at the legality and whatever they have written in the agreement is unenforceable by law. It must be able to be VT'd. I've (well, Copilot has!) penned an email which I'll be sending tomorrow stating I wish to VT, not Voluntary surrender as that's different, come...

I'm aware! The finance guy in Lincoln hadn't seen one without a vt clause either. The benefit of hindsight! Just been in and I'll not be changing. The extra 5k discount is if the finance was taken, and I've no immediate desire to give Satander any more money and they didn't know whether the...

It's a fixed term fixed price PCP. I know, I've never heard of it, nor had the new dealers in Lincoln! The old one, Charles Warner, went under. It's my hypothesis that the then salesman didn't submit my signed contract to Santander and when I came to collect the car, he said they wouldn't honour...
