They are complex ,way beyond sensible reason or logic ,no repair manual available either,
if they develop too many problems you're best off getting a new one   ;)

 Taking a car for a brisk drive in the wet on Branded Tyres isn't very exciting, now fit some Cheap ol', Chinqy Stonking Horse, and that'll get you old duffers heart racing, and maybe the Angels won't catch you as they won't know we're your going.  ;D
