I cannot understand why women are treated like idiots when it comes to cars. My wife was told that our vehicle needed a new brake master cylinder. It just wanted a top up as the pads had worn down! Surely if a person, male or female is not knowledgeable they should be helped not taken advantage...

Lord no, a positive child, I'm 75.

There's far more real world information on this forum than any superficial magazine review.

Wooden drum if it.

Aye lake Thet.

I vote we stop all this abbreviations nonsense so how about this for 2023 called CFCE, Campaign For Concise English. Oh bugger?

Easily done with so much hi-tech to grasp

Makes sense, but isn't there an audible warning? My van is fairly low tech in as much that you have to switch the headlights off, but it makes noises if you forget. Not sure if it would automatically go to parking lights rather than main beam as well.

You'd have thought that a car costing as much as these do would automatically switch off the headlights when the vehicle is vacated. Strewth, even our Dacia run around does that.

Of course, New Testament-doh!

I had a similar problem. In the end Igot my deposit back from the credit card company, who then chased the dealership and who after a couple of months paid up.

Ah, that would be in Genesis: In the beginning there was the Word.......

I do, and you're right!

I just leave my vehicles plastered and tell people it's a new colour called 'Urban Crud'.??

Good advice, although in the end I decided that the van was not going to be economically viable at my time of life. I use the same socket for my electric motorcycle with no problem, which only draws about 1.3 kws for a maximum of 8/9 hours.

Indeed. Personally I like red, but I take your point regarding the blending scenario. You have to admit with the poor visibility this time of year grey is going to blend in with with the road. The best solution is to have two cars and swap them between winter and summer ??

I tried that with a Nissan e-van and after only 20 minutes the garage socket was very hot.

Red cars are supposed to be involved in the fewest accidents-allegedly!

One if the best value cars money can buy, owned by Renault and will run on petrol and LPG (currently 75p per litre)

You're lucky you didn't freeze yourself to the lock!
