Theyre feckin awful. It turns up, you cram on with a load of people who seem unacquainted with personal hygiene and after 30-40 mins going round every stop in the area the 15 minutes journey you really want to make finally begins. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it blows up it blows up but then so will every other euro 6 car It’s not gonna have a hard life, it’s limited to 80 mph and won’t be seeing much mileage cos it’s only for emergency returns and those cobbled streets with basements that businesses dump their paperwork in until they can’t cope with it anymore! you got a 1.0 ecoboost then ,.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bath park n ride? Not the usual bus experience. For starters you have to be able to afford a car to use it and secondly have to be able to afford to go into Bath… you money bags 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 @Six30 you seeing many belt failures on these too? My old place of work has had a run of rotting belts jumping teeth, breaking and debree blocking the oil pick up on the eco boost and little pugs. Who's idea was it to run a Timing belt in oil. Edit, I'm also told the AA have had some of the same on the pug engined transits too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Just been on the news, the welsh ruby fans have had the Tom Jones song Delilah ban. The lyrics are responsible for a "growth in household abuse after matches", not the alcohol or all the banter against the opposing team. WTFs this world coming to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Hmm well had a change of heart on the van cos missed a trick. Had only put down the deposit, was gonna pay on Saturday so cancelled it. It’s a stop gap so why buy it? Can lease a brand new one for three years cheaper than I can buy it and claim it back against vat. That way it’s a new vehicle and we can hand it back before it blows. Winner winner chicken dinner.. I hope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
