  1. Yeah i could of sword he would fine something, oh well happy days! yeah I too am waiting for my new motor now, chased it up yesterday but apparently the dealer is not delivering yet. Hopefully soon. What did you go for in the end?
  2. So I have the dreaded inspection today, was a bit worried on a few items. I posted on here a while ago that I had a kerbed alloy. I thought it might be worse than the guidelines say. Then my 2 front tyres seemed a bit low on tread but still within the limit. Also last night I went on a final blast and just before I got home I had a check coolant light come on, oops. Anyway bloke got me out of bed and I was waiting for the ok, found xyz. Came to the door, no charge sir! Phew!
  3. Ive emailed the company I ordered it through and just waiting to hear back. Although reluctantly I think ive decided to get it collected and use my wifes car. Then in the hope that the lockdown eases and I can get my new one delivered Yeah ive asked VWFS this question but they havent replied yet. Only have a skeleton staff in i assume.
  4. Scotty, yeah I had a text from BCA yesterday to say i can either extend or get them to do a contactless inspection/collection. So now im in too minds as my new car (Volvo V60) is ready but the dealer is not delivering yet. Im in two minds, I can return it and have no car for an unknown period or extend the lease for 3 or 6 months in the hope the lockdown eases and the dealer can deliver. I must say with the quiet roads I have been enjoying the benefits of the 245! All within legal limits of course! So thinking do I eeek out as much fun as I can or say bye to it! Choices choices! I do have the use of my wifes car but going from a 245 to a Nissan note would be some change!
  5. Yeah ive gone for the petrol auto. I got a really good deal at the time so will be a change. Its just annoying thats it sat somewhere and I cant get my paws on it. 1st world problems eh!
  6. Yeah i dont want to extend but I need a car as im a key worker. My new car is ready but they of course cant deliver it. Went for a Volvo V60. I know im going to miss the VRS poke!
  7. Hi Scotty, yeah I will ask them again about the T&Cs. Yeah monthly rental the same
  8. Hi Scotty, did your car go back yet? With the current situation we all know that BCA are closed and not collecting. I got a bit confused as my car is due to go back mid may. I asked VWFS and they replied saying I could have an informal 3 month extension but on their website it said 6 months. I replied and they said they are now offering 6 month extensions. That raises other questions such as if I agree to 6 and then things improve and the lockdown eases, am I still committed to 6 months etc. I have another car ive ordered which is ready but of course cant be delivered (Non skoda)
  9. Im wondering with the latest gov announcement, what will happen about mine being picked up. Is the bca bloke still going come to do the inspection etc?
  10. Hi all, not that I am going to keep my car (although what happens with cars going back now?) I thought id see how much I could buy mine for £16.075 with 14.2 on the clock
  11. Mine is the same model, got it in May 18. They contact you about a month before I believe? So for me will be mid april
  12. Yeah I remember this well when I had the inspection in my previous car. Noticed the day before the bloke came a massive crack down the middle of the windscreen! They stung me for £260! If id have had time to fix it myself I could have got it done on insurance! On the upside the bloke missed a big crack on one of the rear lights! Going to risk it and hope I get away lightly for my wheel! Mine has just over 14k on it and goes back in May so assume it would be worth similar to yours.
  13. Really!? Only reason I put it on was I had a puncture a while back and the garage said at the time they didnt have any of the others but had a Nexen. Surely its the equivalent in speed rated etc etc but I assume not in terms of price!
