More feckin expense!!

Eileen arrives in this morning. Says there is some kind of funny diagram on the dash display. I went out. " Possibility of diesel particle filter blockage". Took it out on the motorway and drove the shit out of it in 3rd gear to see if I could blow it out. No joy. Then just as I was swinging in the front gate, another warning message " brake pads need replacing" !!!

Their aint too many cars that keep stum for long, older the better i think

Eileen's two brothers are mechanics. Both of them drive @ 15 year old cars. They reckon modern cars have so many extra things/gismo's that it just means more things can go wrong.

Mines 10 years old I drive all sorts everyday and nothing makes me think about changing,
But if i was a nut allergy doctor i would tell everybody not to go near nuts, but some people like them

Young lad next door to Annie has obviously past his test and got himself a car, and quite a nice car it is, a three year old petrol Ford Fiesta, but he ain't run up mileage in it yet, cos all he does is sit in it with his mates for hours and I mean hours, four or five every night music blasting and engine ticking over to keep them warm, feel like telling him he ain't doing it no good, but the sooner the shit music goes the better...

Took mine for itv the other day, Bus failed, motorbike failed, new looking car failed,then a car about 15 years passed, another about 6 yrars old failed, the my passed

Yep, they dont like foreign cars Kev, thats why your SEAT passed.
