It's the Doc, he wouldn't have it any other way ? But, as others have already said, the easiest & cheapest solution would be to take it back now if you hate it that much.

BorniteIdentity Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 A strut brace. My Cabrio had one and I completely forgot about it. It will undoubtedly help. As for the seats? I’m genuinely surprised you can’t get comfortable. If I can help with a redraw then just let me know - it may be more popular from a more central, mainline location like mine rather than deepest Essex.

loserone Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The alternative is to get the cabrio south, see if you change your mind, then inevitably come back up on the train for the Kelisa. It's welcome in the garage for the rest of the year. strangeangel and Wingz123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Anyone else think 306 seats are uncomfortable?! I thought seats were the only thing Peugeot could do. stonedagain, garbaldy, blakey79 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehedgehog31 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Your insurer will likely have a cooling off period, think they're entitled to charge a proportional cover fee, but this would be minuscule if anything. Phone them and drive it back to L1 and leave in the Kelisa if you're that unsure about it, it will only cause you stress and it's the easiest point to cut your losses. It can then be redrawn to someone who wants it. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Was the Perodua owner going to meet you by L1's house or something and how are you going to get it home now? I'd be having a few choice words with them, mostly expletives. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Current re- plan was to roffle it from my house after Rob dropped out. However given the current situation, it can sit there until @TheDoctorcan come back and get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a big car. If you've got a calf in there with you perhaps the drivers seat isn't in the optimal position due to lack of room?

DoctorRetro Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 At Grantham again. Hey, I've made my bed, I'm going to lie in it (or should I say perch gingerly on the edge of it) Reasons I'm not turning around and going to get the Perodua (other than pride) 1. I'm more than halfway home, have been awake since 4.30am and could do without another 7 hours on the road. I'd probably kill myself or worse, someone else. 2. I've already put petrol in both cars for this trip, so I'd be making quite a loss. I'd hoped to come out of this about 100 quid up, which would be nice just before Xmas. 3. Although I loved the Kelisa, it was very small and inconvenient for family outings. I did want something larger. 4. I'm the Doctor. I've managed to get the seat a bit more tolerable for motorway driving, but it is quite laid back. Not sure that would work around town. ? If anyone has a small Asian car they want to swap, I'd definitely be interested, I'd even consider a Yaris ? Lesson learned? Better the devil you know.

garbaldy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 If i was to win ten pound car I would be grinning from ear to ear whilst chuckling away to myself even if sitting on a bucket, maybe it will sell easier down your way and you really can't fail to make some money on it to cover your costs. strangeangel, BorniteIdentity, Wingz123 and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Once you get home, give it a month, and at the least go for a morning drive round the lanes with the roof down.

Cavcraft Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hope it works out for you, Panderella. As others have suggested, flog the 306/re-roffle it, then go and get the Pernodua Tulisa back. You'd like to think whoever copped out of buying it would pay something towards your train or fuel costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
