If you have ordered and paid a deposit then it should all be in the system already and secured. There is a database the dealers have to use and it is logged on order not on delivery. This allows the government to stop the offer knowing what they have committed too

The grant was announced some time ago as being able to be changed (even withdrawn) without warning at any point when they thought the money allocated was running out. They are doing exactly what they suggested would happen so I don't see that it affects anything else. Dealers knew it might...

More likely there will be only the SE model at £31k and you have optional extras for the parts that you can upgrade to trophy and connect versions. Look at the pricing on the i3 etc, the base vehicle qualifies, but not many buy the base vehicle, they buy it with the extras.

It is not an exact science. There are too many factors for a short journey to accurately measure. For instance, drawing current will heat the battery, as the battery heats the internal resistance drops and the battery can more easily deliver power, improving efficiency, so efficiency will...

These are supposed to be stainless steel, might be doing a bit of testing and leave them outside for a week or two first and see what happens.

All I need now is the MG 5 LR (hopefully soon). The dust cap selection and cupholder mats have arrived.

But they have already announced removing the grant for home installations of charging points. They are instead offering landlords and tenants the next round of discounts. So you don't know what they might plan for the car grant. Mike confirmed on the podcast that they were waiting to see what...

does anyone know what happens to order that have been placed but not delivered in that circumstance? I looked at what they did last time and basically the dealer had to apply for the grant based on the order and then it was fixed. They even had a set number of orders after the changes that they...

We have been waiting for the combination of sufficient range, affordable price and an estate car with space for kids and dog. We really wanted an EV, but didn't think we would be able to get one. Luckily Toyota did a bad job trying to sell us the Corolla Touring Sport/last generation Avensis...

7.2kw is 240V X 32amps. So the 100amp is because the ring main is usually 32amp and then the oven is usually on a 32 amp. So put the oven on (30amps) , the kettle (10amps) and a couple of heaters (20amps for 2*2kw) and the 60 amps is used. These days there are phones and TVs and WiFi boxes and...

we have an LR coming, but we have always been on the fence about when to jump in as battery tech and other things are developing quickly. In 12 months time LR folk could be feeling the same about the next model or another brand that changes how we think of motoring. I hope by that stage we will...

Yes it does. The 60 or 70 refers to the sidewall and is a percentage of the width. So a 125/60 will be 75 tall and a 125/70 would be 87.5 tall.

ours said December and said he will update when he knows more. All of those mentioned seem to be coming from the right place, but the ones in between are toyotas from South Africa, C-HRs from Turkey, Hondas from Mexico, Ssangyongs from Korea, Fiats from Italy, Jeeps from the US... 2,600 acre...

yes, the orion highway that just deliver, the grande spagna that arrived yesterday, and the Traviata are also good bets.
