No long then 

Our delivery date got moved around a fair bit but was on a much longer timeline than yours to begin with (c9months iirc). I'm also intrigued what you're planning to tow. 0-60 tests with the caravan attached? 

Mostly ticked for the bike carrying option, we have a roof rack for the Zafira, but lifting bikes up there is a pain.

Towbar mounted racks look much easier and also don't have to keep a roof rack on there all the time. Fitting roof rack takes time, hammers mpg when not in use etc.

Bonus is I could rent a trailer locally for camping trips and take a load more stuff!

Check carefully as most sparks cannot install chargers (requires C&G 2921 or equivalent, and some specialist test kit) and many of the charger suppliers require a certificate to enable the smart capabilities and warranty on them

He is fully authorised and mentioned how they now check every single install. He stopped doing them for a while, because they kept changing the rules.

Other option is getting it via Octopus, I need to check actually if they allow another company to do it.

Nice choice. 

You'll soon be known as Tunnie Two Coupe's then.

Sadly the 435i will need to make way for the M60

We have the Octopussy 'Zappi' fitted. Works well enough and comes with a 3 year warranty. £999....although free charger deals can be had.

Just noticed. Another 2 free hours of electricity tomorrow 12-2.

We also had Octopus do ours and can't fault them. Came when they said (initial am/pm slot with a call 30mins before arrival), did a good job and when I had an issue with my smart charger - lost signal so was no longer "smart" they came out and replaced the unit with the same level of service 

I can't speak to cost as the charger came as a package with the car, so it was "free".

Sadly, LEX, I need to source my own

So me, a man without a pot to piss in, has to pay £1000..... and you, a man with unlimited wealth, gets it for free.

Life is so unfair.
