Re: Aircon - regas or leak?

The rear discs they fitted to my 70 plate were garbage! Rusted and pitted after 4k and then changed as a goodwill gesture. Replacements have done 19k without issue. As for the air-con - we always leave ours on when we drive. Evidently it stops the joints from drying out and leaking. My wife’s 2010 ...

Re: Fuel light bingo

Driving around looking for a cheaper petrol station seems false economy... The savings would be tiny... :lol: I never look at the price.. The car needs feeding, I feed it... ;) :D Nah, just schedule in a run past the cheapest local one when you're below 20% - I pointedly avoid filling up at the exp...

Re: New Ford EV teased

Toyota have a 10yr warranty ( inc batteries) on their EV's or so i was told by a salesperson the other day. Yes, my wife has a Yaris GR sport and along with all Toyota's, as long as you have it serviced by them they renew the warranty for ten years.... So few worries... :D Does that include ICE's a...

Re: What would you do? Keep current order or go with facelift?

It's a pointless discussion as everyone's circumstances will differ. I could buy the Puma outright, but there is no way I'd tie up circa £30,000 when there is no need. Up to now I've always made money on a PCP deal, granted that situation may not last for ever, but that's beside the point. When I go...

Re: New Ford EV teased

Anyone with half a brain is going to buy used EV's..A one year old EV will could be 50% or more less than when new.
As for battery warranty, If I wanted and EV, wouldn't worry about it. Toyota have batteries still running perfectly well after 20 years.
All that said, I don't want one yet... ;) :D
