I’m just the sort of person those ‘magic hour’ residents’ bay limits are there to stop. Many years ago I worked for Barnet Housing as we were in a van and the dunces at the top had not sorted us out an exception we had to drive off on the magic hour. The idiot manager would then tell us we should have taken lunch then, yeah right like I am having lunch at 10am or 3pm twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 All Vxls are shit. Hence why for my new courier venture I've just bought a Combo (so it's really a Fiat) - I pick this little beauty up on Saturday (seller photo) Okay, it's done over 100K miles, but it's 1 owner (Mitie, ex-lease) and was only used locally in the last two years for grounds maintenance and carting a lawnmower around. Absolutely immaculate not a scratch or dent on it, and the lessee clearly ticked the options button as it's got everything. Is the farty 1.3 stop-start for OMGMPG, but that's totally sufficient for my needs. Has had clutch replaced, and has full service history so should be no timing chain disasters. Has a speed limiter on it too (70) - bah More proper photos and write up when I pick it up.

loserone Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I'm starting to panic that a 21 year old 150k 206 might not be the best car to drive to the south of france filled with family members, and looking at buying a sensible alternative. But I literally cannot see any cars for sale. I was bidding on a 406 earlier, had my bid cancelled as the item is no longer available. I probably want a 306/406/806/berlingo 2.0hdi, mebbes an estate. Ideally I'd like one that isn't already shagged though, and it almost looks like I can't do that for a grand. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadhg Tiogar Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I thought that only happens on cars which have been having a good long rest, but to see it on a van that runs daily is a first ? Yoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 NX have decreed that all the coaches will now have the front seats set in the wheelchair position, making life easier for us as won't have to faff about changing the seats round. Book time to do it is 15 minutes, but that's done on a brand new coach with no siezed bolts, clean runners etc. stonedagain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
