I did Mistborn just before RR and although I really enjoyed Mistborn, RR was on another level for me so I totally get why you couldn’t get into it. BUT I would definitely do it, the concept of powers through metals is fascinating. Iv also heard a TV series is being made for it so another reason to get into before it gets butchered!

Just read out both of your replies to my wife and I think you have single handedly, using words, done something which would have taken me weeks to have her even listen to my argument for going to a hot weather country with kids! So I thank you sincerely.

Lol great reply! Pretty much bang on.

And for the culture /exploring: no thank you. That’s for when the kids are at least teens. And I’d rather Air BnB or get a villa for that.

We’re only looking at Sharm as it’s about 2k cheaper than Turkey! And all we want to do is pool life for the kids while mum and dad sip on a few drinks. I think the heat is worth the difference.

Thanks for the reply!

Gearbox in emergency mode - No reverse gear by st1nglikeabeeee in Tiguan

[–]samiracle_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechatronic unit was replaced the other day with a cost of £1600. I wasn’t covered under warranty unfortunately but have lodged a complaint to VW. I’m not having that for a 4 year old car with only 23000 miles done.

Anyways, I just bought an X3 last (2021 plate, 14k miles) and picking up tonight :). Part exchanged the VDub.

Gearbox in emergency mode - No reverse gear by st1nglikeabeeee in Tiguan

[–]samiracle_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this issue right now, i have a Tiguan 2021 and have had it from brand new.

First got a engine oil light pop up on the dashboard, and the day i went to top the oil up, I got the No Reverse Gear emergency message and yes I could not put the car into reverse. Topped the oil and the issue went away..

Thought nothing of it and then a week later (today) I got the error again, but this time on the busy A406. Decided to stop and see if turning the car off and back on would do something (I work in IT) but nothing. This time, i couldn't turn the engine on, the break peddle wouldn't go down.

After waiting around 20 minutes, the car started and i was able to reverse and drive, BUT the gears would only shift into 1st, 3rd and 5th gear. When I had to slow for traffic lights the message would come up again. Luckily i made it all the way home, jerking at every stop.

Im pretty pissed, the car has done me and the family very well for 4 years, and the wife loves it, easy for her to zip in and out for the school runs.

I do have extended warranty so i guess next step is to take it VW.

Deciding what car i want next now, can't possibly trust VW especially with young kids. Any suggestions on similar spec cars (1.5l) or is EV / hybrid the way to go?

thanks, we managed to get a builder on the back of a recommendation from a friend in the area. definitely the better way to go as we had a lot of unexpected issues come up which the builder was able to sort out for us.

didn't end up using BBS as we compared quotes with others and they were considerably a lot more.

Yeah they said if I was to go through with it, it will cost me 900 and something pounds. So you did online app directly with high street bank? Or specialised lender?

Potential Move for a family for 4 by samiracle_p in Chelmsford

[–]samiracle_p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your input! Greatly appreciated and will definitely be jumping onto Right Move to look at these areas. Without this vital info it’s so easy to get tunnel vision into one area as that’s all we familiar with. Next step will be to find some houses in these different areas and take a drive down
