The camera is fine, it's just that the golf is actually pink. We've been through this!

NOPE NOPE NOPE NO NO NO!!!
I have another couple of fella's that can vouch for it now!

That's what you think! Andy said before that your golf was pink and 166man can't say much since alfa red turns to pink too!

Thanks for all the advice re chassis number.

Anybody that walks past your car in the street can see your chassis number, so why be worried about giving it out?

True but you'd feel worse for giving it to someone over the phone if they were going to use it for cloning or whatever than if they saw it in the street.

Get a spin in a Mazda 6 (same car) and a Focus ST (same turbo) and you'll know what it's like :pac:

My dad retired and picked up an i40 tourer yesterday. It's quite a nice car. Well kitted out too.

Yeah they are lovely cars, the interiors are miles ahead of new Jap interiors too. I love the dash design in them!

Yeah the new Hyundai and even the Kia interiors are coming along a huge way.
It's not a bad car the i40.
I imagine he'll have to leave down the car keys at some point, so enjoy the spin!

I've just been told that the Mazda6 I have a deposit on needs a new DPF. That can't be right after just 2 years can it??

This is exactly where the "savings" from buying a diesel all go to waste.

If it's been driven around town for two years with out a lot of motorway driving then that doesn't sound unusual. You still taking it?

What's the economy from the 2.2 like?
My mam says she gets about 45mpg from her 1.8 petrol.
