General Car Chat / Re: Thinking of getting back into an Omega
« on: 08 February 2025, 15:39:57 »I knew you's be first to pounce.Hope you and the family are good ?
I don't do as much carwise these days but can still turn a spanner if I'm sensible
Alright, John. 50 is far too old to be crawling around under an omega on a cold winters day. Get yourself a warm coat, a pipe and a pair of slippers
I gave up two years ago crawling under cars, I changed the oil & filter on the Subaru we had at the time & then struggled to get out from under it ! The Range Rover is far too complicated for me & the Toyota will go to the main dealership for all work, so after 48 years on working on my cars I've called it a day.
A youngster then Rangie!
I have now got to 54 years of doing that, and I am now knackered! I am still aching from doing the HBV, oil and oil filter the other day
Simple jobs once, but not any more
I seem to have different aches every day now, all eases off once we've walked the dog 🐕🐕 a youngster definitely not..😂

General Car Chat / Re: Think I might buy an actual French Renault at the weekend
« on: 08 February 2025, 13:30:20 ».Change of heart, Mick. I'd probably be creating more problems than I already have. Plenty of time to decide, despite Opti saying my time is limited..Have you bought it?No.
It's officially the weekend.
Change of heart Steve or non helpful salesperson ?
Yes I know that feeling .

« on: 06 February 2025, 13:41:43 ».Remember to haggle....The astra will be chopped in. He'll probably try to get me to go to WBAC with it, it's certainly destined for the block. But I'll convince him he really wants it
£6250 with a full tank of derv and an extended warranty sounds about right.
Colour is good even though it is an 'ugly f*ucker' much like it's new owner.
What is happening to the Astra?
Spend £30 on a valet it will look the dogs danglies.

« on: 06 February 2025, 13:40:14 »I believe Albs swears by them. My astra is very tatty, and I'm bored with it. Cheap Kadjar might be the way to go, it's only for transporting muttley..
Our daughters father in law had one from new had no problems at all he always had Renault's, retired 2 years ago & treated himself to a new BMW & regrets it especially all the messages that keep popping up.

We only have one bin for garden waste, green bags for recycling don't have to separate anything ,black bags for everything else fortunately we have a sensible council, why change when it ain't broken, dead simple 👍

Been exactly the same system for the last 38 years , so I think I'm kinda used to it, brown bin for garden rubbish started about 12 years ago for £50 a year and is brilliant no trips to the tip anymore.
