Good luck for all of the tests

It isn’t something I would have done. But I think the biker was extremely provoked. Van driver acted in a dangerous manner. Deserved what he got.

Thanks for the comments. The Peugeot was pre registered and heavily discounted. Im obviously hoping it will be ok. Some good advice about looking after the engine in the replies. I will take heed and fingers crossed.

For what it’s worth my money would be on the Mini as well. I know it isn’t a proper Mini. Or even. First generaBMW one. But still quite significant. However I need a proper car to take me places and have bought the Peugeot

So I have bought a new car. A Peugeot 208 Allure. Yeah and I’ve kept my Mini Cooper because I feel attached to it. Yeah I know that’s daft. Anyway. In ten years which one is going to be worth the most ? I think the value of the Mini Cooper is around £600 the price I paid for Peugeot is almost £20k. Interesting what you say

I think that’s a good point about the dealerships. But my nearest Suzuki dealer is over 100 miles away

I’ve got one as well. Came from Temu and was about £20. Works great! … it’s funny how folks say they would never buy a Chinese bike. Oppressive regime and everything. But we all rely on Chinese products actually. Just an observation

Slight rant. So I have eventually managed to buy a new car. It is a Peugeot. Picked it up on Friday. Really nice car. But no spare wheel. I know that isn’t unusual these days. My previous car was the same. But at least it had a can of goo and an inflator. Not even that with the Peugeot. The garage tells me this is how it is these days. Seems a bit strange to me. I have just emailed Peugeot customer service and asked what action I’m supposed to take if I get a puncture? Not expecting a sensible response … I will buy a spare full sized wheel and tyre. And a Jack and wheel brace. But honestly when you have just dropped almost £20k on a new car shouldn’t this stuff be supplied?

Petrol stations do seem to have some strange rules based on so called H&S concerns. They still seem to ban mobile phone usage. But does anyone actually believe a mobile phone could start a fire? And I think you can fill an lpg tank on a vehicle. But not a bottle.

You aren’t a mind reader. You really don’t know what people stuck in traffic are thinking. They are probably a bit angry because they are stuck in traffic! … I personally doubt many of them are thinking negatively about you taking your son for a ride. … just do everything legally and as safely as possible and enjoy yourselves. That’s my advice

I was wondering about these. Slightly off topic. But for my boat. Which is now on a mooring. So could I put the hose in the sea and jet wash the decks with sea water? I’ve been wondering this.

I’m not sure these certificates mean much. I have a jacket which is really thick leather. I have no problem with using it. I’m sure it would be ok in a spill. Of course it has no certification

Update on my situation with the car. I’ve cancelled the order. Not sure what to do now. I do need a vehicle. Might go electric

I completely agree. Probably cancel this week
