Kind of you to offer , but will pass.Clamp is now a stainless band clamp, so should stay, and look lovely too, should anyone wish to lie underneath.

Or dead!I find it can be quite peaceful laying under a car, you don’t have to be doing anything but people leave you alone thinking you’re busy.
My computer started spouting AI manure today so I said what to do when Ihave found a dead body in my garden,Or dead!![]()
I thought your reply would have been "it wasn't me"My computer atrted spouting AI manure today so I said what to do when Ihave found a dead body in my garden,
Try asking and you too will see the value of teh AI response.....
One story . Most people havnt seen a dead body, but I have seenlots, On one occasion when I was 11...... Is this **** real??
You might say that. (Thanks). But I couldnt possibly comment. The whole range of rot the computer thre out was mind bendlingly stupid. LolI thought your reply would have been "it wasn't me"![]()
The sad part is people accept it!You might say that. (Thanks). But I couldnt possibly comment. The whole range of rot the computer thre out was mind bendlingly stupid. Lol
Do some digging on its ride and handling too, even some of the Dacia lovers in the motoring press have stated it’s ’less than adequate’.Some of you good folks will be aware of me "going on" about the Dacia Spring - a wee car which got me really quite excited. I'm still quite sceptical regarding electric cars but this one seemed to quite fit the bill as a replacement for our Becky when the time comes for her to retire and even now there seem to be some pretty good pre-reg deals on the go. I've been reading all I can about them when stuff comes up on line and I think I've discovered something I'm not so keen on. I think it has no battery thermal management. Just relies on passing air to cool it and has no way to elevate battery temperature in cold weather. I'm not too sure how much of a problem this might be on a relatively small battery pack such as this. Going to do some "digging".
Especially as you live in "The South of France"????I think it has no battery thermal management. Just relies on passing air to cool it and has no way to elevate battery temperature in cold weather.

I quite liked the duster, when I test drove one when looking at a year old panda cross (back in 2014/5), but when you added up all the extras and the AWD option, it wasn’t that cheap anymore and wasn’t as ‘fun’ a ride as the Panda. Then came the customer reviews!!
All oh so true chaps. Get real Jock, you're not going to spend that amount of money on an electric vehicle of doubtful quality when you can buy a really nice panda for a lot less. It was just a silly dream - but I'll get over it. Oh, and I just thought, the money I save can be used to buy a nicer AV Receiver. Looks like the Spring will soon be a distant memory!From what I remember they do not charge particularly quickly so thermal management is unlikely to cause too many issues.
I think my main issue with them is they are based on a Chinese and Indian market petrol car from 2010...(Renault Kwid).
As a result safety is terrible and not in the "oh no it's got no lane assist" way in the "if I crash I'm significantly more likely to injured because structure isn't up to much" sort of way.
I understand the simplicity appeals but I'd bet the panda is a stronger shell than the spring. They are cheap but you can get a 2 year old 500e for the same money and if you crashed one into the other it would be no contest.
Is this a diesel? If so, does it have the exhaust particulate filter, and need the occasional regen? Regens tend to drop some fuel into the oil, diluting it, which is why they have an oil degradation counter.I need to chage Rubys oil as there is something odd going on. The oil is strangely discoloured and very dark, along with the excess start up rattle thas appeared in the last month or so.

Chance would be nice. I have a 2/nearly 3 year old, if there was any thought I might be dead I would get "WAKE UP DADDY" followed by a whack round the head with a toy.Or dead!![]()
Nope, 1.2. I had this discolouration with the Petronas Syntium used last time but one. I chucked that oil after just 1000 miles. I have never seen anything like the state of that oil, this Im glad is not as bad, but its not right. I was going to leave the oil for another 6 months to space the cars servicing across the year. This may be just me noticing cross contamination from that batch which was clearly duff in some way, I suspect it may have been counterfeit oil! Its not very bad but its certainly much worse than it should be after just a few thousand miles. Maybe I should flush it before changing the oil. I must recheck teh sump carefully but it was near perfect when I did the oil las year so not expecting that to be an issue.Is this a diesel?

A tale from a few years ago..Chance would be nice. I have a 2/nearly 3 year old, if there was any thought I might be dead I would get "WAKE UP DADDY" followed by a whack round the head with a toy.
At least if you are laying under a car (even if you are dead) daddy in busy, leave him a lone...... Bliss.
