That ****ing French piece of plastic ****e again...

Now one of the rear lights is filling with water so it's back to the least competent dealer in the known universe for them to take 8 attempts at fixing it..

In case anyone is about to say you ain't seen a fiat dealer...they also sell Fiat's. Joint Citroen/Fiat dealer.

I had dealings with one of those one a PSA/Fiat dealer - now also sells Kia's. I can't say I would even consider a PSA car... Nor another Fiat!!

At this moment I feel a better way to spend 17 grand on trouble free transport would be to burn 15 grand and buy an old yaris...it's beyond a joke now.

It's a lease though so almost tempted to see just how bad it gets before handing it back and never dirtying my hands with anything PSA again.

You try to help others. You ask a simple question, twice, and the OP chooses to ignore it but keep asking for help. Makes me want to slap them.

Not you, silly boy, its all the others!:bang:

Been grumpy two days on the trot now...

Yesterday i banged my foot, then later in the afternoon was in so much pain, went to hospital - its broken, now in a temp cast until i go back for an operation (if its not healing well enough).

Today, Dad brought the car to mine as i couldnt drive it, to find that someone has attempted to syphon my petrol and nicked my fuel filler cap (the internal one).
And... someone has dented the rear panel under the fuel filler cap right at the bottom - looks like someone has scraped it by turning wide out of the road it was parked near.

So wound up right now and in pain, cant have nothing now-a-days, thieving damanging scum bags.

Anyhow, car is still running and hopefully ill be driving it again next week (if i dont need an op)...

Way to go Nigel...just keep the excitement at a reasonable level :slayer:

Mum was driving my car yesterday and went through a pothole and its now looking like I may need to scrap my car because of the damage

I have a mechanic coming to look at it tomorrow hopefully it can be fixed

Damn, how big was that pothole?

Hope it's not as bad as it looks.

My grumpiness today is merely caused by having to drive my crappy Citroen Nemo until I source a replacement exhaust for my Tipo. Small beans in comparison.

bodywork / structural..?
just mechanical parts / trim is o.k.

may be worth a claim form from the council

Where does my WD40 go? Back in the uno days it was more important than the car keys in getting to work but now I maybe use it once every few months on summat round the house and everytime I do I end up buying a new can...

Of course after 20 minutes looking round the shed, the car e.t.c. it was in the 1st place I looked...3 cans side by side which I swear weren't there when I started looking!

Car started making a nice waterfall sound when started. Ohh just another thing.

To achieve a similar ownership experience, buy a 20 year old fiat, set fire to a skip full of money and use a dealer who hates you, personally, like you cheated on his daughter or something.

You no longer get a replacement MOT certificate when changing the registration plates on your car.

The old certificate is still valid because it has the VIN number on but I'd still prefer to have it with the correct reg

(I'm not sure how old this change is so may be not new news to everyone!)

Wrightyy

I'm having a Spring clear out and I have attracted the eBay bottom feeders again.

Bidding 25p at time so it looks like my items have a lot of attention but in reality it's a couple of pillocks who are speculatively placing bids instead of setting a budget, bidding to it and letting the auction do the work.

Bid your budget. You will either not win, win for how much you want to spend or even win for a little less.

It's not a difficult concept to master. Unless they are true bottom feeders bidding 25p at a time because that's how much they find under the sofa every time they look.

One of the reasons I was glad the chap who has my Fizz got back to me. Some were bidding £5 a time on that.

Speculative bidders who are after something for lowest price so they can sell on for as much profit as possible. Scum of the earth in my opinion and if my Fizz had run to the end I would have canceled anyone who placed more than three separate bids. You can tell someone who wants someone from someone who wants to profit from something from their bidding behavior. Another reason I'm glad my Fizz is at a good home.

Not as much of an issues with small much lower value stuff but I still find it annoying.

Why does it make any difference to you? As long as you get paid at the end of it, that's all that actually matters

If I were selling a car it wouldn't have made any difference but I was selling a Panda so it matters.
