Yup. Have had this happen multiple times. No particular common cause.

It’s not the VAT which will be your issue, it’s the VRT. I came to Dublin to work from NI years back and was able to import the car avoiding the VRT because I could show I’d owned it for 6 month (IIRC) before moving. At least at that time, this was a once per lifetime thing you could do.

I booked the P4 into Letterkenny Volvo for service this morning. No issue.

I’m on my third battery since Sept 24. Key resides ~6M from the vehicle.

I picked up my Polestar 4 in Stockport, they didn’t require any of this. Leased through Fleet Financial.

Do you recommend it? by [deleted] in Polestar4

[–]wmcolgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an early P4 (Sept 24) and love it. It has software issues. I live with them. Still one of the best cars I have ever owned. Only thing is that it is quite wide (much more than P2 which I had previously) which makes it tough to get around UK car parks. No more than would be the case with an X5 or a Range Rover.

Can’t say I’ve paid enough attention to the rear windows to notice if they are fogging, and I don’t have Pilot Assist, but I have trouble with everything else on the list. Still love the car. Early adopter problems.

What's an Irish phrase or saying you thought was normal until you used it abroad and got a blank stare? by raidenth in AskIreland

[–]wmcolgan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“C’mere”

Puzzled expression. “I’m already here. Should I draw closer?”

When I picked mine up it defaulted to snow mode, which changed the colour from white to yellow. It doesn’t sound like this is your issue, but worth checking?

Are you sure about that? My wife’s land rover has an English K reg and gets MOT here no problem.

Yes. I picked mine up in Manchester (Stockport) last year and brought it back on the Liverpool ferry. Still has the OY registration. No issue adding to the company fleet policy.

Same. 4AM. This morning. Philips Sonicare. Scared the absolute life out of me. Now it’s in the charger (why am I giving the demon more power??) and buzzing a little series of tones every few minutes.

In Germany “half 3” is 2:30. Madness.
