Avoided using the sticky pad for ages as the suction pad, generally, worked fine. For some reason now though it's refusing to stay on, suspect the heat has warped it enough that it's not getting enough suction so sticky pad it is. Curvature of the window means there's a very teeny part in the...

"I'm sorry Dave, crocs with socks, I'm afraid I can't let you drive me anywhere in that"

Octopus Home Mini lets you get real-time readings. For some reason mine doesn't show export but import is working fine. There's a waiting list but, in my experience, they're getting them out reasonably quickly. https://octopus.energy/blog/octopus-home-mini/

Is it a lead acid battery? I've got 2 x 5kWh PureDrive II DC and 4 hours means it only needs a rate of 2.5 kWh to the battery and it can do much faster than that. If it's not lead acid you might want to check your settings.

I think, generally, the first year sees that and that will be the biggest drop, after that you're talking more like 0.5%. You also have to factor in that the battery itself has more capacity than specified. It can cope with a few cells dropping in performance as it will just "shuffle" around a...

Whilst part of me is gutted I'll miss out, having cancelled the ZS order, another part of me is looking at issues around general build/software/aftercare and thinking I may have dodged a bullet. The ZE50 I'm having instead isn't the best EV around but I already know it's quirks and, if I ever...

The question I addressed wasn't "should Vanarama enforce that condition of the contract" it was "can Vanarama enforce that condition" and your being unable to understand that simple distinction is your problem.

If they're only fulfilling ~half the outstanding orders it's likely dealers are going to be making the same calls soon too.

They changed the side airbags on the ZE50 from head and thorax to head only, but even if they hadn't the ZE50 would have only got 1 star under the updated tests because of it's lack of modern driver aids.

I'm on 7.5p kWh on octopus go but that's the old rate. You can though still get 12p on that rate if you take it now, which would give you 1600 miles by your calculation.

I've literally just completed my change of order and they stated the free insurance offer is no longer available on any vehicle. Might be because I changed the order, but perhaps you should ring them and check nothings changed. This you?; "Here's hotlush again boring everyone with his assertion...

If you think their reaction to the real world legal situation, and having a link to actual legal advice from an actual legal professional was bad; wait until they find out they're not getting the free insurance, and probably won't get the gift card/cashback either, as both of those offers have...

First rule of Dunning Kruger club.

It's just coincidence that pretty much every other lease company has failed to deliver any ZS EVs yet and all the fault of vanarama. Apparently.

So you don't think them taking a £650 loss on the charger is them taking a loss... The aggrieved sense of entitlement is palpable. Seeing as you can't be bothered to do even the most basic of Google searches, or ask an actual legal professional, I've done it for you...

That's not how subcontracting works... your contract is with Vanarama and you agreed to pay £350 for the charger if you cancel. So no actual legal arguments as to why you don't need to keep to your side of the contract. Just a vague hope they won't turn up... Yes, it would be interesting to...

Lots saying they will, none telling us they have. That probably means they haven't or they've not rushed back to tell us how much they're enjoying their CCJs and being unable to get finance for their replacement. Of course changing the order with vanarama, to a different car (EV or ICE) is...

"Please note, the finance packages offered to you on quotation, save otherwise stated, are offered as fixed-rate, fixed-term contracts. Any rental costs varying in response to fluctuations in VAT, Corporation Tax or other taxes, charges and rebates which may be revised at any given time are not...

So I've emailed MG again and part of me will be gutted if they reply that it's being built/shipped as I've given up waiting and ordered a ZE50. This will be my third ZE50 so I know what to expect from them and in some aspects it's a better deal than I was getting on the ZS; £22 a month cheaper...

That leads to my dilemma. Current car costs ~£120/month more than the deal I'll be getting on the ZS. So if I wait another say 5 months, that's an extra £600 I'll have shelled out. I could swap the order to a Renault ZOE. I've had two and like the car and it's fine for my needs but would be...
