Its coming next week!

New 6N with the glass roof in blue pearl.

I currently have an i6 - the first edition model with AWD and glass roof so the only new thing is the speed and engine noise. I already have 0-60 in 5 secs so not sure what 3 secs will feel like. 1st world problems I know.

Excited isn’t the word!

Yearly insurance was ~£600 and is going to about ~900

One of the cheaper quotes wanted a telematics device on it 🤣

Booking it in for a ghost or similar immobiliser as soon as possible.

Sink size checker

I gave you the roofer cat. On his weekends he likes to check hand basins for size and conformity.

VT pcp car and excess mileage charges

Hello all. I have a car on pcp. I am way over mileage - plus 40k miles. I was planning on paying the balloon and keeping the car so mileage wasn’t an issue until I saw a shiny new one in the showroom. I’ve not quite paid 50% of the balance yet.

I contacted the finance company, they say
i have to pay the difference to 50% to VT it which is fine, but they said excess mileage fees - even to that extent - won’t be chased. They only look for excess mileage if the car is handed back as part of the pcp rather than as a VT. How sure can I be that this is the case?

To VT it now is cheaper than waiting a few months until month 36 where I can naturally hand the car back and pay excess mileage if I wanted to do it then.

My tyre failed

I’m driving along when I hear the flat tyre noise. It’s a run flat. Pirelli P-zero 4. There were bits of string or nylon with rubbery lumps on it hanging out of the 2 cut lines around the tyre. They were hitting the arch liner as the wheel rotated. The cut lines are on the inside tread part of the wheel.
Tyre was still at the correct 37 psi. I limped it towards home and it then a few mins later it dropped to 0 psi. Tyre stayed up enough (run flat) to get home with no damage to wheel.
Car is an EV. How did this happen?

Brake lights, regen and speed limiter

I need to check some more but my car seems to do the following:

Speed limiter off
Regen 2 or above brake lights come on. If i use the paddle to reduce to 1 or 0 while coasting the brake lights stay on until the accelerator or brake pedal is tapped

Speed limiter on
Regen 1 brake lights come on no matter what speed i’m doing

Check yours and see what you get

Seagull in my bath

A few years ago we found an injured baby seagull. We kept it for 2 weeks in one of our bathrooms and fed it fish fingers. We let him try to use his legs in water. He was calm and placid for the first few days and then he did lots of flapping when we went in. Took him outside to let him go but he wasn’t strong enough until one day he managed to get out of the garden
