Not sure Nikos. See what's about. She has seen a 2011 Kia Sportage that she wants to drive and it's local from a good garage or we will go new on a PCP as some dealers are still doing scrapage and we will get more for her 2001 BMW 325i. It's getting some rust on the rear arches but only has 86k on the clock and has just passed an MOT with flying colours but it ain't worth much. Still goes well though. She wants something that does cost so much to run as the 325i drinks a bit nowadays she doesn't do many miles..most are around town.

I see..I am on the haunt for an old (00') van to make it to the working site, as the Alfa gets too much dust and i really don"t like that.

Morning all, working with my youngest today to get him some beer tokens. Got three bridges in Dagenham to re-string.

Have fun all...

Morning all. After a lovely day in London at the Aquarium for Joseph's 1st Birthday (where has that gone?) it's back to the usual routine of work.

On a positive note the ML passed it's mot, even after it had been failed for the headlamp washers not working (wtf?) turns out it was low (ish) on water, and Mercedes in their wisdom prioritise the windscreen washers over the headlamp ones. Which is nice of them.

Mark - happy birthday to the wee lad.

Morning, all. Feeling a bit dusty this morning after a night out with colleagues. A few beers in the office (we have a beer tap), then a couple of pubs and finished up in Covent Garden at the Big Easy for a taste of the south.

I'm very pleased that it's Friday.

A very good morning to all. Car hunting for Liz today. No work for just over a week. Nice.

I know of a smashing 2.4 JTDm...actually, you still technically own it!

Morning. Final day of the week again, Brera going for a AC regas at 2pm, I am expecting the system to be broken if I am honest.

Quiet weekend.

Not wanting to put you off Andy, but if issues are a problem the Qashqai doesn't come across as being better than the Italians... https://www.whatcar.com/news/2017-what-car-reliability-survey/n16181

Have the Spider back at last. Fun drive in it yesterday, it much better without the squeaks from the rear suspension. The weather up here looks decidedly un-Spider like, shame we didn't make it down for Castle Combe as it looks much better down there.

Not much planned for today, so paperwork and a bit of video editing I think.

Have a great day all

We have a diesel one and thats the petrol one Mick and from new. Issues fixed quickly so on a used one it should be ok. Wife read lots about them and they seem to be the better of this type car on the used market. The wiring loom is a conversation from the meal the other night....You had to be there to get it.
