Hi guys,
i got offered some hand controls from another member on here, but when i contacted the fitters (KC Mobility) near me, they told me that they'd be chargng for at least 3 hours and that they couldn't fit second hand controls at all!
So i decided to get new ones fitted. KC again fobbed me off, saying that they couldn't fit an import! and that i had to go directly to Jeff Goslings. Which i did, got manual push/pull controls (without inicator) fitted for £440. Couldn't find any financial help at all. every one i talked to, including a lot of charities said they'd only help if i got a car from Motability! Which imo is a complete waste of money... if you want to drive a proper car, then theres loads of deposits to pay first, even before the monthly payments start! They keep telling you how much money there is to be saved with them, because they cover tyres, maintainance, insurance etc. but i know my costs arent anywhere near as much as they would be with them!
My advice to all wheelies, buy a Supra (na or tt) then get the controls fitted yourself! Its alot more fun and economical than going with Motability!
