Q: Why are there delays on BMW new car deliveries? I ordered a new BMW X7 which was supposed to be delivered on 23 September. It’s now 24 October with no sign of the car, and the dealer has updated the expected delivery date to 30 November... honestjohn.co.uk/askhj/answer/2…

So, what are we expecting to see in the Budget tomorrow? honestjohn.co.uk/news/tax-insur…

@PatrickChristys @Iromg @JamesWhaleShow Interesting question and answer re EVs today, taken from @_HonestJohn . First I’ve heard of this, surely it will affect hundreds of thousands of people.

I’ve stayed within Lincolnshire for this week’s launch. It’s a zeitgeisty, compact, electric SUV —@AlfaRomeoUK’s Junior.

@TerryWr43131492 Hi @TerryWr43131492, this information is still available. We record every reported fault we receive via ASK in the good/bad section of our car reviews. We will expand this section in the not-too-distant future to include the latest recall information. Regards, HJ Team.

@_HonestJohn what happened please to the website area that shared good and bad about cars, plus recalls and reports of failures please? Found that info so useful. Thanks

@_HonestJohn @DVLAgovuk Thanks. I am registered and logged in but can still only seem to search rather than ask. I’m probably being daft or missing something but any further clarification or instructions please? Thanks

@DVLAgovuk @Mark_J_Harper @_HonestJohn @LBC Continuing strife at DVLA. Proactively spoke to call centre about query with Dads car. Guy couldn’t help & suggested I write. Did that 15th Dec. Nothing. Then a threatening letter to Dad “pay a penalty”. DM’d. Nothing. Dad DIED LAST YR

@_HonestJohn @DVLAgovuk @Mark_J_Harper Thanks. I can’t seem to ask the question/outline the issue. Only see previous q&a. Maybe being stupid?? Can you advise how I send the question please? Thanks

@congruitytime @DVLAgovuk @Mark_J_Harper Hi, I'm sorry to read about your experience with the DVLA. Please contact us via the ASK function on our website and one of our experts will be in touch: honestjohn.co.uk/askhj/ Regards, HJ Team

Now told I have to wait 4-6 weeks for reply. Language for you is try/hope. For us it’s must/have. Can send screenshots. Whilst I am actively trying to sort stuff out, you are tone deaf, insensitive, & bullying. A disgrace. @DVLAgovuk @Mark_J_Harper @_HonestJohn

We're also now running a perennial small-car favourite: the new Skoda Fabia. Is it still one of the best all-round cars for the money? Time will tell: honestjohn.co.uk/long-term-test…

The first of two new arrivals on the HJ long-term test fleet is the Dacia Jogger. Starting from £17,000 it's over £10k less than the next cheapest seven-seater. What's the catch? We'll be finding out! honestjohn.co.uk/long-term-test…

Another arrival to our long-term test fleet is one of our favourite small cars of the moment: the Honda Jazz hybrid. Read the first two reports here, and is there anything else you'd like to know about it? honestjohn.co.uk/long-term-test…

We've said goodbye to our Skoda Karoq. Has the no-nonsense family SUV delivered over 5000 miles with us? honestjohn.co.uk/our-cars/skoda…

This day off adventure was brought to you by the @_HonestJohn VW Caddy Life long-termer full of projectiles and an extremely comforting warning light.
