Alfreton SCs are at East Mids Designer Outlet Village, so entry to the site may be slow due to shoppers entering the car park! The site itself usually moves smoothly, and the SCs are signposted through the car park, but they are basically diagonally opposite the entrance "gate". Mrs Dilly may...

Take a look at this link - it may explain the issue, or give you some avenues to explore.

Bear in mind I was just having the dent straightened out, not having any scratches or scuffs done (those I can live with!)

Another vote for Simply Wheels Lincoln - they fixed a dented rim on one of my M3 wheels last year (potholes!). Had a few weeks wait to get in, but job was done in under 3 hours, so I didn't have to worry about hiring a car or borrowing the wife's.

Ummm - just hand the car back to the lease company & forget about it?

The app should show you the settlement figure with no need to contact FS - when I settled the finance last year, the email response from them was that the app is up to date for settlement figure within 2 days of any scheduled payments. Can't help with the V5 though...

Very niche forensic specialist..... for 1 aspect of my work I am 1 of only 4 currently active in the UK

Skip Cardiff (8x 250kW) & just go for Newport (12x 250kW). Almost no chance of having to wait there even though this SC is open to all, as there are loads of other chargers. It's not brilliantly signposted though, being in the grounds of Celtic Manor hotel, but away from the hotel. Basically...

I received it about a month ago. Made some comments about wipers, getting some more control options onto the buttons, and a caution within the "will you buy Tesla again?" about being unsure if stalkless was going to work for me....

Euro NCAP rules for safety ratings will change in 2026, due to safety concerns over the steady loss of buttons, etc for controls. Each "essential" item with no physical button / stalk / switch will result in a downgrading of the cars safety. Could see M3H dropped from 5 stars to 4 or even 3 in...

Drive slowly & carefully as there may be debris under the surface, otherwise you should have no issues. I traversed several fords & floodwaters in the deluge in Oct last year as I had to travel from Notts to the Cotswolds, and the only issue I had was the loss of an aero cover somewhere along...

Tesla's own TPMS readings are pretty accurate, and will show low reading if the temps are cold but these will normalise on driving as the tyre warms up. I've had the trims off my 2020M3 loads of times without issue, so I would not worry about popping them off.

Yes, you can use the same charger on different nights, but IO will only work with YOUR Tesla IF IO is linked to the car rather than the charger. If IO is linked to the Zappi, then IO will work for both. If IO is linked to your Tesla, then your wife's car will need to have a schedule set in the...

Article I read said all charge points would supply 7.4kW, same as a domestic unit.

No, M3LR. Only thing I would confirm ahead of time is that they can handle the size of the car, as I have seen reports here of some garages being unable to deal with S/X on their ramps/lifts (admittedly some were independents, but saves hassle checking up front).
