Re: Home charging fitting
I'm awaiting fitment of an Sync EV. I chose this as its small and seems to have all the features I need (including 3/4g) - and is fairly cheap (£550 inc install and grant etc..) I avoided the podpoints as a couple of neigbours have them and whilst its a matter of personal taste they look like a grea...

Re: Lead time and air con
Might even been the last car to get them through a sales quota bonus, they might take a hit on one car to score that bonus! Thats what I thought - esp as it was the sales manager who dealt with me. I may have also managed to accrue a little professional embarrassment discount as they got the model ...

Re: Your view on items offered with new car ?
I bought a new golf ten years ago (last new purchase) and went for 1 (haggled down to £200) and in the end they threw in gardX for free. The dent repair thing was worthwile - in that I used it 3 or 4 times - but they clamped down after a couple of years and it was harder to claim (dent had to be in ...

Re: Lead time and air con
Life Pro from Inchcape Stockport. In stock (hoping for delivery this week). £23800 (I think) after all the discounts (and I managed to get some mats and a granny charger too). (I've had a couple of people DM me about this - and they've not got close since, so might be that I got lucky with stock/dem...

Re: Standing Water
Plenty of examples of Tesla’s going through fairly deep water from google.
Eg https://insideevs.com/news/351925/video ... ous-water/
No idea what this means for an ID3….

Re: Newbie thinking about Life and Family
All UK ID3's come with heated seats (front) and steering wheel. I thought the life was pretty well spec'd and there are parking sensors all round, so for me a reversing camera seemed overkill.
Bear in mind I'm awaiting delivery (so only test drive experience) and I am a cheapskate

Re: VW ID Configuration down
I’ve just put a deposit on a Life Pro (so next to bottom of the range :) ) for: £23902 (and I got them to throw in some rubber mats and a granny charger - about £300 worth)... That’s including the 2.5k govt grant, 1k Euro2021 test drive offer and the 1.75k PCP dealer deposit contribution. (Which mea...

Re: iD3 driving position and back pain
Thanks - I've generally found no correlation between seat firmness or lumbar support and back pain - its mainly down to the driving position. BMW's, Volvo's fine. Korean (Kia, Hyundai) fine too, as most recent fords (after they borrowed Volvo's ergonomics dept..)

iD3 driving position and back pain
Some context - very close to signing up to an ID3 but have a history of lower back pain - last associated with a mk6 golf I owned from 2011-15 (100k miles in this period). This was solved almost overnight when I bought a Volvo v40 (that I still have). So I’m suspicious of VW ergonomics/driving posit...

(58kw life) By the way the drive the deal price was for 14 week delivery.. dealer is ‘in stock’ (aka a few weeks) Going to have another test drive this weekend… last bought a bran...

VW Solutions PCP £1750 discount and paying off early
Hi there, Just weighing up options and ID3 prices at the moment - loads of discounts around before any dealer haggling (2.5k govt, 1k Euro21 test drive and £1.75k PCP deposit contribution). BTW, the PCP deposit contribution more or less pays for the interest over 2 years - making it effectively inte...
