motorablity car help please

[roundthebend4]

while sat here twiddling my thimbs as pickle is asleep again ,have finally got round to sorting out motorablity grant .there allowing as a master? but anyone known any more and who to go with and who to advoid?

sorry should mention am looking at a wav and need 5 seats on top of getting ds powerchair in

yes its down to the amount of addtional seats i need.plus ds powerchair and boot space to get manual in and all the other junk to

yes ap is £2785 with one of them

I have VW vectra if you want to know about that.

Its big, and none of them are particularly cheap. DH chose it.

Melted yes please is there room for 5 more seats in it?plus ds powerchair

Also the mpg as well if don't mind can I ask how long you waited for it'

they have allowed for tail lift plus tinted windows and ac

We have driver plus 2 bench seat in front then 2 more seats in tandem in back, and room for dd2's biggest outdoor power chair, and lots of luggage. All seats are not what you might call plush.

We have a manual ramp and winch in case the power chair battery ever goes.

If I did it again and had lots of money I'd go for extra speakers in the back and also an operational window in the back. And I'd go for the tail lift.

We have the aircon but in such a big space its not really effective. We have tinted windows to reduce the heat and for privacy.

No idea what the mpg is - their website might tell you. Got it from the Widnes people.

Sounds good will need compare ap on them iss dd sat right behind front row?

Wheelchair is right behind front row, clamped in.

Its staying there all day today (see other thread)

What are the Widnes people like for deliverary times? That's who am looking at

Only prob with ramps is the child gets very heavy to push up. Thats why I envy tail - lifts.

Not good if they break, though!

Sorry, don't know about delivery times - we got it 2 or 3 years ago.

Ty yes they said tail lift lookimg ahead ds is small now at 5 might nit be so eAsy at 10ut guess worse case scenario were have to use his manual chair or make sure we least gave ramps at home in case of emergencys

I wonder if you can get those hook on straps that help pull a chair up a ramp in a motability car? (like the ones on some of the patient transport)

Snowmash, we have a motorised winch to pull the chair up the ramp if we need it. Maybe thats what you mean?

Roundthebend4 - I also have a set of Unwin ramps but they are at home so no good if you are out if/when the tail-lift disaster happens!

meltedmarsbars you're quite right - I couldn't think of the right words.

ug hmm think might be case for making sure have his manual one in the car to , mind can lift him down now think could be harder as gets older though he can always shuffle to edge and transfer that way i guess into manual becuase im not lifting his power chair down

Ug so much to think about
