Post by: Sarah Sarill on September 17, 2005, 08:58:39 pm: Andrew,

LDV's a good workhorse - had no problems with mine despite a 1000 ltr tanks and all the gubbins.

Good choice on the scenic too - wife swears by hers as she feels safer raised off the ground (its a bird thing I think)

Regards,

Sarill

Post by: 24-7 S C Services on September 17, 2005, 09:05:47 pm: HI Again

Sarill, the LDV is a good work horse; however, if you have read my previous postings, I have had a few probs over the last two weeks. First, I thought I had spilt white spirits in the van, only to find that one of the diesel pipes going to an injector had split and I had diesel all over the engine, then on Friday I had the accelerator cable snap on me. But apart from that, I am happy with it and I have loads of room for my other bits and pieces.

The scenic does look good, however, we went down and I test drove it then ordered it. But now the wife is unsure, because she has looked at loads of them driving about and is not keen on the shape (shaking that arse, lol)

Andrew

Post by: AuRavelling79 on September 18, 2005, 06:43:06 pm: Honda Accord 2.2i Automatic Aerodeck estate on a J plate (1991)- you will not see another on a J plate, they are as rare as hen's teeth. (Cuz they were as expensive as an equivalent BMW/Merc, had more stuff as standard like aircon plus sunroof plus leccy windows all round and leccy mirrors, seats, 4 wheel steering, cruise control, alloy wheels etc etc - but they didn't have the German badge see?) Looks like a cross between a Mondeo estate and a BMW 320 estate.

I got this cheap three years ago and it's been brilliantly reliable. Use it for work only and rare camping trips.

Mrs Malc G has a Rover 220Diesel turbo 5 door hatch (1996) dead reliable, basic model but 50 mpg.

Both cars have towbars ready for trailer system!
