Hi, has anyone heard or collected their leapmotor from Birmingham North over the Christmas period? We have itchy feet now, just keen to get it!

Heard nothing. I'm kind of resigned to it not happening now - someone on another group mentioned all cars had to be registered by 31st December to attract manufacturer funding support, so can only assume Birmingham have been let down in terms of delivery.

I've started looking at other options

Hey ours is ready next week. Got the email last night 😀

Car insurance renewal time, transferred previous car cover to the Leap previously.

Gone up £100 from last year but £379 fully comp protected bonus, with all options apart from recovery (car has that from new)

Just ran details through Confused & was another £100 more

[interstellar]

£379 is the cheapest I have seen mate. I took mine at £750 in October and cancelled it in Dec and took a new one at £400

I've gone with Aviva as Admiral wouldn't cover me. It's cost £360 for the year with premium courtesy car cover and protected no claims. Two things I've found better than Admiral so far:
Aviva cover me third party on other vehicles where admiral didn't on lease cars.
No cost to update with my private reg where as Admiral charged me around £13 each time I did that change.

Yes, Aviva here, cover & options that others charge for are included.
Also did the private reg for free.

Cheers, going to let it just renew.

Hi folks

Anyone that’s taken the recent deal with select inform me of the excess mileage price? Not sure to go with 5k per year and just pay the extra or take 10k (£37 a month difference).

Ta.

It's an egregious 18.46 pence per mile.

Wow! I’ll be taking the 10k then

[Jimrod]

All depends on the deal I think, mine's 10p per mile over 8k. That's for around £1750 up front and £145 per month.

Yes, this was the specific Leasys one arranged via Select Car Leasing.

Anyone asked stellantis to increase mileage after their 3rd monthly payment? Did they offer a deal lower than 10p per mile over 5k?

Not yet but I need to call them as in mine it says I need their permission to go more than 30% over my contracted mileage.

I think someone mentioned before that when they spoke with stellantis they said that clause wouldn't really prevent you going more than 30% and you could do as many miles as you want over your allowance at the 10p per mile rate. Or something to that effect.

I’d probably want them to put that in writing to be honest.

Just got a notification on the screen saying that there is an update.

Not brave enough right now as 70 miles from home and without the keycard.

Has anyone done it and is this the Apple CarPlay update?

I'm with you on this, let the brave ones update first...lol

[jodypress]

Just seen this on the UK FB page about the discharging issue. Watching this with interest.

How's everyone finding the range at the moment?

Edited by Jimrod on Monday 5th January 08:32

Getting similar (wifes car). What I have also noticed is % drops every 24 hours, we are not checking the app regularly but it would appear to be regularly communicating with the car (day and night). Losing ~2% each 24 hours - impacts us more in our case as she doesnt do many miles, school runs a couple of days per week and couple of journeys around town.

Only had the car two weeks, following our first charge to 100% it's done 105 miles as of this morning and on 14% so just put it back on charge.

I have a Tesla for 2.5 years and recall similar behaviour. After various SW / app updates the Tesla now goes to sleep and uses no energy for days if I am not using it. Have to wake it on the app rather than it automativally connecting regularly each day. Leapmotor need to do something similar. Saw on the FB posts that the iPhone Leapmotor app has just been updated. We use Android so not sure whether the latest app solves / helps this.
