Drat and blast... it's been put back a week...... hey ho.... Still it gives me chance to offer it to anyone out there who may be interested in a one owner from new, exceptionally low mileage (27K.....!! read it right), Spruce green, auto, Galaxy. As i expect there's peeps out there who might be looking for this sort of thing. Has a tow-bar and single electrics fitted. It's Spruce Green...... that's Silver with a hint of mint green, with a cream interior (which is immaculate, no kids). Has two things wrong with it-: 1 the 'plip' key stopped working about a year ago. But the central locking is all ok. 2 the 'air bag' warning light has come on (about 8 months ago). I've made enquiries, and it's probably a dodgy earth connection (had same problem when car was only 3 months old). The MOT's just run out and i don't intend to re-new it if its getting PX'd (the garage is aware of this), but i have no fear that it WILL pass.... it always does as i use the same small local family garage to do all my stuff. I'm looking to get

Hi all Just to say that after 6 years of (mostly) happy motoring with the gal i'm off to pastures new. Picking up a new Kia Cee'd SW next week. What clinched it..? 7 years warranty...!! So when i come to change it in another 6 years, it'll still be under warranty. Anyway..... i'd just like to say thanks for all the fun i've had over the years from you guys. I wont be going for good.... i'll still look in once a month or so to see whats happening. Nick

T120....... totally agree..! It wasn't that many years ago that it was all about saving the rain forests etc. Don't hear a peep about them any more. Why..? cos politicians have cottoned on to the fact that if they spew out facts and figures on 'global warming' they 'look' & 'sound' credible. And of course being 'credible' brings a whole host of benefits. The biggest of which is money..! Which is why America have finally joined the race so late in the game...... For years they have been poo pooing the very idea of global warming...... then all of a sudden the penny drops. Money. I'm off to blat up the cul-de-sac in my G rated gas guzzler now. :lol: Hey Faz...... where in Southampton are you..? i'm H/End

I'm stuck on the second sentence too........ 250K in 3 years......!! :D

Yeah......... but what about something for the child..?? :D

hhmmmmm.......... most curious.... it was on there not too long ago, cos thats where my missus first saw it and suggested it. mind you, i did buy it around the time they had a recall of a very similar model, hence the reason why the one i bought was cheap i think....... no, not cos it was a duff waiting to be recalled model, but because maybe they had suffered from a drop in sales of all chargers (they were all on offer at the time). At the time of buying it had been reduced by around 30% if i remember rightly. It's too dark and cold to go out to the garage right now, but maybe at the weekend i'll go and have a look at the technical spec label on the back and post back. I do recall that it's good for all types of battery and that it's got a 20amp fuse in it. Nick

Blimey crike...... Admiral came in at no 17 on the list of 29. Out of interest..... it would be interesting (well, it would be to me & Steve Davis...) to know what some of you others are being charged for insurance. I'm happy to kick of with mine..... Tesco's renewal @

Just spotted the 'pinned insurace deals' by Gteuk.... as my insurance is due up early Jan, i thought i'd do a quick trawl through some companies..... ended up at 'Confused.com' who came back with 29 quotes..! But NONE of them could beat my original renewal quote..!! Who am i with..?? Tesco's dot com, car insurance. Been with them for 4 years now, i think.. :lol: Give 'em a go.......... every little helps...... :P

Hi all, What with winter coming on, and me doing very little mileage (now i've got a job thats just about a mile round the corner..... ), i thought i'd invest in a battery charger to give it a bit of a boost now and then. Was shopping around, like you do, and was tempted by the 'Smart Charger' being sold by Halfrauds, and cost just under 30 of my quids. All i'm wanting to know is.......... Has anyone got any experience of this particular device? or.... Would i have been better off saving some of my hard earned squids and taken the missus out for a slap up meal..... ok ok, i hear you all shouting..... "where you gonna get a slap up meal for two for less than 15 squid..? mmmmmhh, this is true to some extent. However, if you are prepaired to wait (and can persuade her to wait too...), then a bit of diligent searching in local rags-and-mags will eventually come up with a coupon for 'buy-one-get-one-free' at your local 'Hungry Horse' (or similar..) :P All answers on a post-card to this forum please......... Nick ho ho ho...... :lol:
