RAV4 MoT was due tomorrow so I chucked it in for a test at the first place I could find with availability - Halfords Autocentre 😬 It passed . Now taxed and tested (it was on disabled tax, so I’ve had to sort that out at the post office and tax it for 6 months 🙄) The invoice had a link to photos of a sort of live action photo shoot Show off.

Is that now up for sale with a well worded advert? It’ll be for sale once the V5 comes back but that might be a while - tax class change so it’s off to sit in the DVLA twilight zone for a bit. Immediate plan is to lend it to my FiL so I can service and MOT the bASe Dacia Duster - thinking some “UK’s cheapest SUV 4 years/40k miles on” type stuff might be forthcoming.

loserone Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 I totally would a duster if I had the money.

Had a new drivers seat cover under warranty, that’s it. Does the front seat rock back and forth when it's at it's lowest setting? I test drove a Duster years ago, a new one, and it did that. I thought the seat was broken but the guy got me to sit in the showroom car and it did the same thing.
Kiltox Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 It doesn’t have height adjustment IIRC, base model innit.
Kiltox Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Remembered the RAV4 had an emergency fuel cap - probably shouldn’t have passed the MOT like that 👀 Found one in my parts stash, pattern part for a Passat. Fits perfectly. mk2_craig 1
Split_Pin Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Look forward to an update on your Duster. Mine hasn't turned a wheel since I had to hand it back nearly 2 years ago. Its finally been MOT'd though, possibly had an accident of some sort. With the back seats down they are like a van, quite a big one at that. A proper estate with a cuboid shaped loadspace. The seats gave me a migraine on long trips though, although pretty much anything triggers one in me😅 Kiltox 1

I'd find myself compulsively scrolling through it, gleaning absolutely nothing of any benefit. Only useful part were the car groups, in particular the Peugeot 405 owners one. I do miss that, but not enough to go back. I set up another FB account, on a newly set up email address, purely to join a few bike and car groups. I have no friends on it, no details about me on it, and switched off notifications so don't ever go onto the email account I set up. Not been onto my "own" account for quite a while, and see no reason too now. And I don't have to see some of the bollocks "friends" post up that I don't want to be associated with. Quite enjoy it now (and I leave no comments either).

Kiltox Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 For those that don’t follow the modern section - I’ve just bought a pretty shite modern - a 2013 Renault Kangoo ZE. Battery lease, slightly broken, MoT exempt goodness. WCPGW?? AnthonyG, Craig the Princess, Heidel_Kakao and 6 others 8 1
