loserone Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Fucksake FRV front airbag cannot be disabled, and the manual can only advise a mother on her own with a small rear facing baby to sit in the back and get some other fucker to drive. This makes this family people carrier utterly fucking useless for us. Anyone in need of a people carrier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Nope. The handbook basically says if you have children under 12 they must be in the back or they will die a painful death. Also adults who want to put children in the front are killers So instead they'll all go in the 205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Indeed, but then we'd have an FR-V.

Then I saw the photos of the undercrackers of your CR-V and came to the conclusion that it seems to be a case of TADTS. Having said that, the MOT history of the one I like the look of hasn't mentioned grot at any point, which seems to be unusual for these.

loserone Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 My CR-V has been useful this weekend, though I haven't driven it. I'll use this as a prod for @Jimbob McGregor to start a thread. The FR-V needs a tickle on the exhaust so it'll get that and a test in the next month. It'll then be for sale because it's too competent and boring. 320touring, Fumbler, LightBulbFun and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob McGregor Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I’ll take the credit for stopping and nudging @loserone to take a photo by the Town Hall. The tractor sat quite nicely at 20-25 mph on the road back up the Dale, as said above it might be the fastest it’s ever rolled! loserone, auntiemaryscanary, Dave_Q and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 /me searches ebay for MV Agusta decals. Now it's actually home and I can believe it's staying, I'm picking up where I left off with the fuel tank. It's canny rusty inside so I've had it with a bit of petrol and a ton of screws in it for a few months, shaking it up every time I remember. Today I've got all of that out (except a couple of pesky screws) and I've put some phosphoric acid in it. We'll see after 24 hours how much rust is left, but I foresee dropping just shy of £200 for a new tank.
