    Thanks for sharing video of your car camping mattress, Mike. This was one of the things we measured when buying, can you fit in the back to sleep. Interestingly this led us to the EV6 but we eventually bought a BMW i4. Bet you didn’t think that one fit well for sleeping but it does.

    I went to the Reading Festival and slept on a boat: Went to sleep to the slap of a river. Awoke to the slap of a guitar by Randy California..! And a soundcheck by Whitesnake! 1980 was a great year..!

    As for the buying conundrum of your listener who was considering buying a LHD car… you have to consider the import duties/tax (can be 5 or 10% of car value depending on country and age of vehicle), examinations, changing front headlamps and potentially rear lights (fog and reversing lights unless centrally located need to be on the correct side for the country), sometimes this may require wiring changes too if your car is produced for a specific markket… if you were to buy in Spain you need an NIE number (similar to the UK National Insurance No.)… this applies to either importing to UK or exporting to Spain. If you are getting residency in Spain then you are supposed to start the import process within a month. You will have issues with insurance in Spain without an NIE or registered address. If you are regularly going to Spain and returning in a UK registered car then your insurance policy usually covers you for 90 days (check small print). Similar rules apply to cars as humans regarding 90 days in a 180 day period for tourists and this is tracked by Ferry Companies/Eurotunnel when you book travel… penalties can be harsh. Having had this soort of issue for my daughter living temporarily on a Visa in Spain for what will be 2yrs it is difficult. Dependent on your own circumstances it sounds like less hassle to have a UK car while living in UK tthen buying in Spain once settled in Spain. Can I suggest you watch some of the videos on the https://youtube.com/@youtoospain?si=1t6FZLtDsq3Xr5dI channel… loads of great information and interviews with services that would perform car imports amongst other topics, with a healthy discussion on pros and cons.

    Hi Guys, With regards to Rattlegate, I had one of the very first ID4 1st Editions and it must have been made by the cleaner at VW as it was full of rattles. It went back to the dealership a few times and everything it seemed worse than when it started. I eventually fixed most of the rattles myself over the 1 year of ownership. I now have a 3 year old Jaguar Ipace with 63000 miles and not a rattle to be heard. Just shows that buying new is no guarantee of a rattle free car.

    Completely agree with rattles in the car, especially now we’ve moved to an EV, as there’s no other noise to mask said rattle. The rear belts in our Ioniq 5 are a particular source of a knocking sound. I have to pull over and turn the belt around so the cloth anti-rattle flap is correctly oriented to the plastic trim.

    If I had £41k to spend on that Vauxhall, I’d be spending on something like a used Tesla model S which you can get for the same kind of money with not too many miles on it

    Hi Mike,
    I need to apologise for waving at you from my car like a big eejit when you parked up beside me at the recent Kia EV3 event in Christchurch.
    I was happy to see one of my fave YouTube presenters and lost my cool for a moment. I so wanted a selfie, but I resisted.

    My first EV was an ID3. Loved the car, bu it had a relentless loud rattle somewhere under the dash. Six months later – 4 of which it spent back with BMW multiple times, with the entire dash dismantled more than once – I got my money back… Not only had they not fixed the rattle, but they’d introduced a new one in the sunroof. It was basically a mariachi band on wheels, and drove me potty!

    I don’t have an Enyaq,.. yet, but one with my name on it should be arriving at my local dealer tomorrow. And I am so excited to get hold of it that can’t be bothered to wait until Septembers 74 plate. Good to hear you talk with such unforced enthusiasm about it. On my test drive I was astounded by how good it felt. I have always had a soft spot for Škodas as a value option but never actually owned one. This one though felt better quality than its VW ID brethren and *looks* better than the Audi. Of course they *are* expensive. I can only afford it because now I have a company to bit it through and EVs are very tax efficient bought that way.

    🎉 loving the podcast! I have a Skoda Enyaq via salary sacrifice, but Ginny might not like that I’ve ordered the BMW iX2 (due Dec)! I’ve loved having the enyaq, just time for a change!
    Also…you shocked me Ginny when you mentioned Rochdale! I’m from Oldham!

    “Herbie goes in search of a rapid charger”, that was perfect Mike. As for rattles, I had a Skoda Yeti back in the day, a brilliant car IMHO. It developed a rattle…. well it didn’t really, I was wearing a different watch and it was the metal strap/bracelet that was rattling. I possibly caused more rattle possibilities pushing trim panels all over the place until I realised. Every time I checked a panel the rattle moved, well it would as it was on my own wrist. I’ll get my coat… oh I see you already have it… Taxi!

    Yeaaaa 🙂 more fun on Sundays. Thanks team.
    And rattling (or wind whistle) drives me mad.
    Yes, I forgot the English name, the trekker, and our son was allowed to take it to school when he was 18. It was his girls magnet 🤣
    (school where mams and dads brought the kids in Bentleys and Rolls)
    And we would have bought the Citroën OLI, but in stead, an electric VW Trekker ? . . . . .instantly.

    I was at a McDonald’s drive thru here in the US yesterday, and the young cashier pointed out a VW Thing to me, asking what it was. He said it looked like a Lego car 😂

    My dad ( lifelong professional mechanic and garage owner) always advised me that I should never be worried by the rattles. But I should instead worry when the rattling stopped – as it probably meant something had dropped off!
