General Car Chat / Re: Batteries
« on: 02 May 2010, 23:26:00 »
BE careful i had a 106 that could flatten a battery in twenty minutes,when i put a new battery on, then went for a run,disconnected the battery(because it was still draining)when reconnecting the fault made it self clear by catching fire,but on the up side showed me were the fault was.75p later and a pen top problem was fixed for good

Some cars sell for alot more than they are worth,But give it a week or so it'll back on.I think peoples friends bump up the price.I've stopped bidding on cars on the bay.If i want a car I phone up,go and have a look,Make an offer.Either get it or not.Some cars are already sold before the biddings finished,

Ive had one as a work van on and off for two years,trims fall off,broken front springs.THe clutch pipe burst,the clutch pedal is very heavy in stop start taffic,(these things have happened with all three of three vitos we have)I prefer the transits a lot nicer to drive.the vitos only get 20mpg (spirited driving of course, it is a work van)ON the upside they are not in the garage as often as the transits(for eml)

I tried yesterday at adrimal multi car for my omega,plus another omega same engine size first one was 575 and for the second one 1000 total 1575 per year,imho thats just crazy pricing, as i can only drive one at a time,so it looks like ill have to use mine for work aswell as family life.ps tell them shes a nun ,ownes her own home and married(if nuns can get married)then see what the difference in price is ,you will be surpised at the difference
