Bang on and such an ugly beast. Same aerodynamics as a breeze block. Company car only.

Re: Insurance companies

I switched from LV, who I was with for a few years, to the AA. Over £100 less but didn't add the breakdown cover as it was too much. Stayed with Green Flag.

Re: Oil Life!

It's been like that for a few weeks. It happened last year and then came back with the recommended service date. Compared to 3 years ago the app is very poor.

I'm not familiar with the area...how many miles is that?

Latest mpg figures

From Peterlee to Bretby near Burton-upon-Trent. Mostly motorway/dual carriageway and all the way in normal mode. Lots of roadworks on the M1. They are building emergency laybys where there is no hard shoulder. Despite all that managed to achieve 51.51 mpg. Going home tomorrow so let's see what the r...

Re: Seat height lever broken

The glove box handle is difficult to open and th the handle sometimes needs to be pushed back when closing. I've had the whole box replaced and it's no different. Cheap and nasty, poor design.

Re: New Here - New Puma!

Like I said before body rust is the killer. I would be looking to cure that first. Surface rust is only part of the problem with 80's Ford's. I loved my Orion. 30 plus mpg, didn't use oil and always started first time.
