IF I did change my car, it would be nothing that anyone on here would fancy. Big, practical and, of course, diesel.

So, what in particular floats your boat then. 8)
I don't know. I don't know why I'm even looking.
Do I need help?

Of course. :)

Most on here are a pork pie short of a picnic. :)

Goes without saying. :) :D

I spent £15.90 on petrol for the mower the other day......for a paltry 2.2 gallons at £152.9 a litre. :-\

Should be enough to last the summer, just. :-\

That is an economical mower or a very small lawn. 10 cc of petrol? ;D ;D

Tractor fuel has comedown 12 cents a litre here today. Hopefully more to come now the Straits are open! What could possibly go wrong.!

You're forgetting who you are talking too.  ::)

Our Lord has extensive grounds to mow and his mower has a V8!  8)  >:D

He has enough petrol for our one day of summer!  ;D

Just been to put some diesel in the wife's car, I'm keeping it full because she needs it for work. She's done 217 miles this week and it cost me £42.50. That's for a 1.5 diesel.

My mower comes with a tiny plastic carb. I'm amazed it goes through as much petrol as it does.

Judging by the size of the carb you'd think it would run for a 100 years on one gallon....but no. :-\

I'd probably achieve better economy by dropping a 400 cubic inch V8 in it. It would also take less time. >:D

No, about the same, dog kennel size. But I've slept since I posted yesterday. So, like a Saturday night ebayer, I've changed my mind  ;D

You just sound bored to me. ::)

Once you've walked the whippet and had a shit you've run out of things to do. Hence Ebay and a new car becomes attractive (for a couple of days) >:D

If you're replacing the Grandland for something like a Grandland, not sure I see the benefit myself, so probably the right choice.  But then, if you fancy a different colour (then you're a big girls blouse) or something newer, why not?

Obviously, 2nd hand cars always come with risks depending how good the warranty is, if out of manufacturer warranty, the mandatory warranties are usually worthless.
