Ah I will be sad to see it go and I really did have a lot of fun with it but 2 years is a long time and I just want to have fun in something else:)


Oh yeah Andy you could just stop looking at crappy VWs and buy my car instead. I'll even give you an easy payment option!

No reason why you couldn't have a Levin and a Glanza as daily drivers :D

My car has been for the last 7 years of its life!

I know this isn't a viable option for you out of taste preferences etc but still….

Yum yum a 516d Fresh off the boat with such extras as. .

- Colour coded bumpers
- 16" alloy wheels
- Central locking

That'd do, wouldn't want to go mad. .

I have found out the problem with my battery, the red terminal is loose, so it appears as a result that the battery has not been getting anywhere near a full charge. Had the battery tested and output was less than half what it should be so it is being replaced and the terminal is being fixed.

Well I'm not going to say anything more than that whatever my new car is it will have cost as much as a small family home when new, will be between 10 and 20 years old and have more than 4 cylinders.

Its not especially simple for my mechanic as there are three separate connections onto the terminal so he has a bit of work to do, and the battery is in the boot so its fiddly

Should be a simple job anyway really stheno and if the connection was loose then surely this now will allow the battery charge

I'm near sure that was the same size tyre I had on the Accord for a cheap really bad tire about 100 for a decent tire 130 to 150 is what you will be looking at.
