Need to go and retrieve the battlebus, as its abandoned a bit to close for comfort to where the scum of the land have decided to set up a shithole.

oppsing gypos.  They all need lining up and shooting.  Nothing but a drain on society and the planet.

Battlebus collected (and had enough electricity :o).  New rear wiper arm fitted after a major struggle - the brass insert on the old one was seized solid on spindle, and the plastic had already detached, hence needing a new one.  Had to get a saw and cut the old insert off the spindle.

Are you scrapping it or foisting it on an unsuspecting victim?

Neither scrapped nor foisted :P

They don't qualify as unsuspecting either, as it goes.

All part of a greater plan ;)

You can't say that, being a diesel the DPF must explode every 50 miles after not doing a re-gen. The injectors fail more often than a fatty admin drinks a Stella and the soot chucked out blackens the earth after a few mins.

I have to ask that question again. Why does my wife's captur, and every other 1.5dci Renault (and Nissan), not have DPF problems when used solely for urban driving?
