Had any failed or aborted regens recently? (check the level, see if its rising)


When was the oil last changed?

I never have a failed regen, I am anal about it. Last oil change at service 2 months ago.

[STEMO]

probably too late but I'd advise against a flush
oil and filter change yes after a 710 pressure light scare 

He was of the same opinion as you, Dave, and didn't flush it. Got it home already, I'll wait for the next cold morning and see what happens.
I really should have a word with myself. As I said, this car owes me nowt and, if it went bang, I really couldn't complain too much.

You mean putting it on the invoice but not actually doing it?

If I get another 12 months out of it, it will be £70 well spent. It won't last forever. I was looking at the trader last night and, when the time comes, I might have a go at bangernomics. Some decent high milers out there for not much money.
This one is clean, with a 12 month MOT and, if you got a year out of it, it would be worth the money. I know people who've bought cars like this and have complained years later that they're fed up with it but can't break the fickin thing

That's a main dealer bonus fiddle: if you sell a product but don't use it, the company gets the money even if it's only a tenner. But your department quarterly profit percentage improves because you've just made a 100% profit on an item instead of the normal 10%(or whatever it might be). That makes every one in your department almost as happy as the parts department, because profitability is a vital part of the bonus calculations. They are happier because they can make that profit several times over until some idiot actually usesthe product

Probably last 5 years or more.

You said you wouldn't discuss your next car until you had it on your drive.

Forgotten already?...

I haven't discussed my next car, I've discussed a random car on autotrader.

I hope it’s ok for you I get attached to cars too🤣. It anyway if it’s not fixed now I bet it’s just the oil pressure switch as Dave has suggested👍

I can't complain about my 2004 Volvo V70.   

I paid £900 for it nearly 3 years /40,000 miles ago and I doubt I've spent more than £400 on it which includes a set of tyres. (Rainsports)

Found a garage in Keighley that do the oil pickup seal for a very reasonable price, so I'll be heading there when I get the time. Still getting the warning on cold mornings.
