Update.

After a bit of messing about with problems with the availability of the part, the job is now completed.

I had a service and one other job done at the same time, they had the car for 2 days total.

According to their master tech, they are now quite proficient at this job and can get it just about done in a full day, but tend to still book in for 2 days in case of any hitches.

I was told the cost being invoiced to the warranty company was 2.3k GBP (I am not sure if this is ex VAT or inc VAT, I assume ex. VAT) so a bit cheaper than initially thought. Nothing to pay from my side, the aftermarket warranty company picks up the full bill.

Car is now transformed. Back to how it was when it was new. I am also getting more electric miles out of a full battery now than I have done for a long time too. I assumed the reduction in real range was due to battery degradation but it would appear it was actually due to problems with the motor.

Excellent service from Riverside Doncaster as usual.

Here's to the next 103,000 miles from the car!
