Not mine, well not that I'm aware of.  One of the guys on the leaf forum thinks £159 down and £159 a month for the car and £159 battery is ok!

He didn't tell you the full story, so I go drop my 1 series to Maidenhead, then the drive home takes me past Nissan Slough, talk to his man with the £152 deal 750 down, take a llok at the motor, test drive, sit down to do paperwork. 

Phone call its Imy, get the hell out of there, I have a better deal  :o

So apologies for wasting the very nice salesman, kinda felt bad, not bad enough to sign up though, and called The other dealer and dropped the deposit.

So I'm sure no one will believe me, but for a runaround it drove very well, and had some pulling power too, didn't feel like a slug, but the silent driving around is just weird.

So waiting for 15 plates, hopefully March first week, another leaf falls of the branch  :))

Now for some technical stuff:-

A year ago chargemasters were installing free chargers, the magic word free so I had one installed, I have no idea what it is, does, how it works, or what type of connector it is, I can say its an oval shape box and needs something plugging into it.  Will the lead that comes with the leaf go into this box?

Just thinking if it does then I could get the other charger installed at my dads place instead.  Would take a pic but its darkkkk outside.

Your leaf will only come with the three pin home socket charger.  You will need to purchase a lead for the charger.  As a rule most home chargers come with a tethered lead to save having to connect both ends and roll up and put lead away every time you take it of charge.

By the way can you give the low down on the full deal?

Go to zap-map.com there is a seller of charging cables on there. You will need to confirm what type plug is required to fit the wall socket.  Hopefully it's a type 2.  The leaf is a type one. 

Is it a two year PCP deal?

Don't think so, no service pack either.  Will need to look into GAP unless its in there and we don't know about it.

30A = 6.6kW so you can fast charge yours.
