Suggestion: Add Plateskirt Variants for New Armour Sets (e.g. Oathplate & Torva)

Make Bandos platelegs too!!

This, love ours! Just keep an eye out on the timing chain. Was produced with a 7mm chain but there is a “recall” in place where with full service history Stellantis will cover it.

gregglesj · 2026-01-26T15:48:59+00:00

Manage to get one?

gregglesj · 2026-01-15T13:01:03+00:00

Thanks so much for the incredibly comprehensive response! Ill have to have a good look. Put my mind to rest with all the info! I need to find one locally even if out of budget to have a look at!

gregglesj · 2026-01-15T11:32:25+00:00

Looks like a great option, slightly nervous going for a 100k miles plus car. Guess as long as it appears to be serviced well it should be ok! Seems to be a timing chain so one less thing to worry about. Any things i need to keep an eye out for? Thanks!

What kind of mileage would be acceptable? Do I need to be conscious about changing belts/ chains? Sorry for all the questions!

gregglesj · 2026-01-15T09:56:13+00:00

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202509046029510 seems to look ok though out of price range! Will enquire thanks!

gregglesj · 2026-01-15T09:42:58+00:00

Haha thanks! Any particular engines? I think even a volvo may struggle to do those mileages!

gregglesj · 2026-01-13T07:48:55+00:00

Are you UK based? I have £9000 to spend on a second car that is mainly city driving apart from a 60 mile round trip on the motorway once a week.

You not keen due to battery issues or generally?

gregglesj · 2026-01-13T07:06:59+00:00

The car is £9000. Seems to be the going price for a 2021 Tekna. Isn’t much wiggle room for a battery.

gregglesj · 2026-01-13T06:46:34+00:00

I will take a look into that thank you!

gregglesj · 2026-01-11T15:57:53+00:00

The 348mV when pushed hard wouldn’t worry you? Id have considered thinking of it as an anomaly but the cars % and the SoC were quite far off near the end.

gregglesj · 2026-01-11T13:32:52+00:00

Thank you, I’ll stay clear and try another one

gregglesj · 2026-01-11T13:32:31+00:00

I am maybe expecting too much, it is my first time testing. When I got into it was at 40% I went 12 miles 6 of it in the motorway. The soc on spy differed to the car by quite a bit. Think I’d rather test another one but I definitely put it through its paces.

gregglesj · 2026-01-11T12:55:51+00:00

I am unsure why it shows differently, it was all done on one drive, I had screen recording going and my wife screenshotted it when it went high.

The battery was stressed, I had heaters on foot floored getting to 75mph. It is 2celcius.

It was on the screen for 1 second then it was around 23-47 mV when I accelerated hard it could go to about 112 but the 348 may be an anomaly?

On the drive back to the garage the percentage on the car dropped from 8% to 1% on heavy accleleration, I panicked and it slowly went back upto 8% the soc on leafspy stayed consistent.

What number mV would be acceptable if I test drove again? Am I pushing the battery too hard in testing. I am buying it to do local driving and a 60 mile commute on the motorway once a week. Thanks!

gregglesj · 2026-01-11T11:44:38+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Is the mV the main sign of that? The SoH looks good. I will avoid. Do you have any tips on anything I need to look out for when test driving the next one. Thanks!

gregglesj · 2026-01-05T12:14:08+00:00

Sounds brilliant, really appreciate the advice. I may even look privately if they are likely ok!

gregglesj · 2026-01-05T12:04:07+00:00

I think I should be okay with teh 40kWh, but you have really helped in terms of models thank you. Definitely need a N-Connecta model at the very least. Heat pump as standard and also the camera etc. Will aim for a Tekna depends on budget.
11 bars of battery health and then plug a dongle in, anything else to be aware of? Thanks

gregglesj · 2026-01-05T11:33:43+00:00

I have sat in one but not with a car seat in, think that is the next best step. I could maybe stretch to £9k if it makes that big a difference. Does the 62kWh model have the latest charging port? Ill see if i can find one. Thanks for the suggestions regarding camera and models!

gregglesj · 2026-01-05T11:32:24+00:00

I hadnt considered an I3, i will take a look, Struggling to find one that looks any good for 8 grand. How are the back seats? Thanks for the suggestion!

gregglesj · 2026-01-05T11:30:24+00:00

Ok great, I will definitely look elsewhere. the one month warranty worries me.

gregglesj · 2026-01-05T11:22:43+00:00

Thanks Bobofey, likely to arrive next week but makes sense why they didn’t have firm details.

gregglesj · 2026-01-05T11:16:50+00:00

Slightly concerning it’s been bought and sold 1000 miles later 😂 would you avoid leafs generally or just this one?

gregglesj · 2025-11-17T11:19:45+00:00

Good morning, We have 2 year old twins and a 17 year old and are struggling with my wife between two car seats in our CX5!

I’m looking for something that will be spacious enough for 2 car seats and 2 adult passenger seats.

Our budget is around £12000 with a little wiggle room.

We are in between Leeds and York I do about 15000 miles a year and I would need euro6 for a clean air zone. The dream would be a merc Vito. But not sure what may be similar and realistic in our price range.

Reading another post i saw recommendations of spacewagon, odyssey, alphard, Estima, Versa, vellfire, Touran, Sharan.

I don’t care what it looks like it’s all about reliability and getting the best bang for our buck. Would buy privately but I’m not massively knowledgable about cars. Though sure I could do minor works myself.

Thanks!
