The salesman said he can arrange a test drive if I'd like.

  Not cheap at £41000  but comes with almost everything as standard. I was quite impressed. :)

Kia Stinger ??

Henry.......once again you have proved yourself smarter than the average OOFer. Spot on. :y

A surprisingly impressive car and for those who don't care about badge snobbery one worthy of consideration.

One to watch closely on depreciation  :)

Yep.....the list of standard equipment is a million miles from what Audi or BMW offer. To spec 'Ze Germans' to the same level you'd probably need another £10000.

Service interval seems to be left over from the seventies though.........every 6 months or 6000 miles. :-\

Nothing wrong with that M`lud, I`m not a fan of these extended service intervals, you can`t beat regular oil changes  :y

I just ordered  6 Bosch single electrode plugs for my v6 for £11

They will be just fine for the service interval.

It’s not a racing car  ::) :y
That's where I buy mine; just checked, had to scroll on to page 4 to find them; 6 Bosch plugs for Omega V6 £10.71, free postage, on e-bay.

I feel violated, I paid £11 something  ;D

Don't worry ..... I bought 6 plugs for my Smart Roadster (2 per pot) from Mercedes. £35 ..... Ker ching  ???


I`m not even gonna tell you how much they are for mine, and thats not from Nissan either  :'(

could be worse  ::)

Years ago, my brother's mate paid something £200 for a set of 4 fitted to his Corolla

That only links to the home page  ;D

They were hellish expensive for a Corrolla, 2l turbo perhaps?

Mine are in the region of £120  :D

But your average Nissan driver has no idea how to drive anyway...

Far cough  ;D
Saw the new micra the other day. Nice looking little car.

It`s not exactly little  ;)
It's all relative  :P

I had a mooch around one last year while I was waiting for my car from servicing and thought "It`s not a Micra anymore in the same way that a Mini isn`t mini anymore"

Seeing as we don`t drive Omegas any more we need something to talk about  ;D

I`m still using the Halfords -10 stuff, l bought a couple of bottles a couple of weeks ago and it was still £4.99 for 5l.

Still smells nice too  :y
The -10C is around £3.50 on trade.  The -20C is around £5.50, and I figure you can dilute further.

The premix -20C is a lot cheaper, but not sure if that can be further diluted?

I don`t have the luxury of TC so I pay the full price of £4.99 for the neat and dilute 50/50

Because they found that many drivers, who have been conditioned by engine fault lights, turned the engine off when the regeneration light illuminated. What's even more common is drivers/owners who have no understanding, and even less interest in how their car actually works.


I know that's a problem that wouldn't exist if they read the manual, but how likely is that?

When we first started to drive we could only afford cheap crap that broke down a lot and thats how I learnt about the workings of a car  ;D

I note the payload is now not heading quite where it should!  ;D

:)

Sounds to me Entwood as though the car will soon be classed as a total write off!! Do you think anyone will make a claim to their insurance company?

Can you imagine the conversation................" Hello, my car has been written off"......."Where did this happen?".............."Somewhere in the Asteroid Belt"............"Where was you travelling to?"........."eh, to Mars".............."Were there any witnesses?"............."No"................"What were the weather conditions like?"................."eh, well, space like; no air, very dry, with excellent visibility".............""Do you need the car recovered?"....................."Yes please"................. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
