Re: Traffic sign recognition system display - Re-enabled on startup?

Hi All so i have just taken delivery of my new 24 plate Civic e-Hev, the road sign recognition system is annoying! so yes, you can disable it for individual journeys but it re-enables itself on start up. I called Honda in Northampton the next day to ask why it does this.. and they said someone else...

Re: When you retain number plate online

Here’s the email from DVLA I received immediately after completion of the transfer of the registration from my e, also attached to the email was a pdf file giving authorisation to obtain plates for the reassigned registration number.

Re: When you retain number plate online

My question is, does DVLA online screen confirm reassigned original/new number there and then , or do I have to wait till V5 log paper (as well as retaining document) arrives via Royal mail to know the number? In my experience of transferring numerous plates online IIRC the reassigned (or original)...

Re: Depreciation

The article is specifically depreciation over one year not three. I can relate to that with our 2021 Mii which we bought in April for £15k; if my figures are correct, 8 months later, and with just 6,240 miles on the clock, AutoTrader are currently valuing it at £8.8k as a part-exchange, a 41% drop ...

Re: Depreciation

We might have dodged the proverbial bullet selling the e in December 2020 after 2 years of ownership for £4k less than we paid for it. The same can’t be said for the SEAT Mii electric we own which, according to the article, has lost around 50% of its value. We bought it new in September 2021 for £17...

Re: Electric Daily life !

Nice, getting mine tomorrow and it’s the same colour, it’s their demonstrator. Did you get both charging cables, while on the test drive he said they don’t include the granny, hopefully this is a mistake on his part. I bought the demonstrator from Southport Honda and it came with both a Type 2, and...

Re: Did you Buy or Sell up?

In December, after 2 years of outright ownership, I part-exchanged my 2020 e for a 2017 Civic. I do miss the tech and the driving experience; I don’t miss the range. I paid £27k and received £23k against the £19k Civic.

Re: Touch up paint for wheels?

I caught one of my black gloss 17” alloys on a kerb and ordered the following and was pleased with the resultant repair. Didn’t consider searching for the exact paint code so can’t help with that.
