I think it will be my last biggish buy, as well. Might as well get a £1500 estate with 12 months MOT for what I put it through.

Plenty of choice of decent estates for sensible money

This one's only done 45,000 miles yet, I'm hoping to get a few years out of it. I do 15-16,000 miles per annum, so at least 3-4.
Cue Opti. "3-4 years? It will see you out then".

I thought you were a staunch 'change 'em every couple of years' type of guy?

I was/am. But, after 45 or so years of wasting my money driving, I think I've finally seen sense. Time will tell.

But you seem to have a surfeit of money burning a hole in your pocket so I'm expecting you to post about your 'almost new 18 plate' very shortly.

Please God don't let it be another derv.

My next car will, most definitely, be another diesel.

Was told of a Headlight Range warning.

*sigh*

Shame there's not an Omega owners club ,with members familiar with the problem ,and if someone had a 3D printer ,they could manufacture and sell a kit (bracket to hold the arm from popping off,plus a link rod replacement and a standard,off the shelf, metal nipple to screw to the wishbone) or a similar kit for the rear level sensor .
I'd buy one 

I've got a nasty feeling its the loom.  I know what it isn't...   ...it aint the arm popped off.

The missus hasn't joined the club, so it will be her nearly-new I post about.

Repent while there is still time. The madness will pass.

Derv will soon be as popular as a Frank Spencer tank top.

OK.....just so long as the dealer knows you are doing him a great favour by buying it, and lops another 50% off just so he can shift it. I'm sure he'll tell you that diesel cars are really popular.

Replaced front discs and pads, bled fresh fluid through then did oil and filter on the daily.

[Kevin Wood]

Changed the oil and the spark plugs. Well, half of them, anyway.

Changed the rest of the plugs... aaand we have a cam cover gasket failure. Deep joy.

[aaronjb]

Washed, cleared and vacuumed all three of them on Friday in the beautiful sunshine.

Felt like I'd run a marathon by Saturday and could barely see out of the windscreen of one through the smeary shite - the kosovans up the road with their brick acid do a much better job than me.

Stuck the Smart on Autotrader.
Picked up the '07 Cooper S.
Took some pictures of the Skoda for Autotrader.

Exciting...

Ahh, WFH?

  Nope, I actually booked the day off work.. we're in the middle of a crushing schedule and I really needed a break. The weekend still went past in the blink of an eye, though!
