Is it just me or is that back bumper off-colour compared to the rest?

 

[sheffcortinacentre]

I've noticed a lot of new cars that the plastic panels don't match the steel ones very well

[steve_earwig]

I think if I saw that on a new car in a showroom I'd assume it had a wee small booboo on the transporter getting there.

Cheers, I think the boot itself looks slightly 'off' to the body of the car too which is a bit suspicious. It's in Gateshead at the moment, but getting moved down here for inspection.

Look at it under an old orange sodium street light any colour mismatch will be obvious then.

[Cavcraft]

Ta, will try that. It's an awful lot of money for something that needs to be spot on. Miles and colour help (though I think they look best in black) and it's a big dealership group, for what that's worth.

Think it's being brought down end of the week, so hopefully we'll know then.

Neighbours Seat was exactly the same re: miss-match. I think it is more noticeable on certain colours. 'cos modern.

I've never seen a main dealer try and pass off so much badly repaired accident damaged shit on the forecourt as Evans Halshaw

It'll have had a slightly dumb "smart" repair, and they've just sprayed the bumper rather than feathering. My Focus from AvailableCar was the same, both bumpers were slightly off colour - and they give you the inspection sheet when you buy the car. Lo and behold, "Smart repair bumpers F and R" listed on the rectifications.

Saxo diesel. Bosch pump? 2000 1.5 diesel. Thanks muchly

Check head gasket

 

Rear axles can splay out or get stiff, check rear tyres don't rub arches

 

Rot. These hide it well on the outside but check front and rear chassis rails

[bub2006]

Checked the usuals. I know the beams are a fault but this one ok. Reason I ask is Morriston has cheap veg oil on and wanted to try cheap fuel!

[bub2006]

That is a valid point but Im also now skint!

[D Spares & Tyres]

Have you pissed off any old gypsy ladies or ancient Egyptians by any chance?

[bub2006]

I honestly don't know. I try to be nice and live a good life. Perhaps I should try being a bastard!

[Inspector Morose]

Saxo probably prince of darkness pump. Ring the scrap man and bale out of the Suzy asap. Can't save em all.

[bub2006]

Not got logbook yet,only green slip.

cavcraft tried to pm you inbox must be full.

Saxo pump says bosch. Woohoo

[The Moog]

Saxo pump says bosch. Woohoo

As pointed out above I would stick to dizzle. Veg means that the pump etc has to work harder and will show any faults up pretty quickly. With your luck it will be the worst case scenario. 

 

Also as we are coming into winter it would be a low mix normally so really the hassle is probably not worth the small savings. 

[bub2006]

I know my luck is shite at the minute. I see your point too.

Nope sorry 

[TataBobu]

What is a "classic car" in regards with "classic car insurance"? Does it have to be of a certain age (which one?) or is there more to it than that?

[Craig the Princess]

How much is new Veg these days? With diesel at around 1.109 a litre around here is it worth using veg at all currently?

[bub2006]

A quid a litre in home bargains
