Yes, he was given 2 months end of last year (general heart failure) so we were already prepared to say goodbye and happy he had lasted as a content cat.

I know I shouldn't laugh but... cat... had a stroke....

Yes, he was purring away at the end

holy fuckballs, that's atrocious :lol: Diesel, EGR, emissions, blah. This is what they do. Short runs are terrible for diesels, long runs better, but it happens eventually. I went for a short drive, I think it pulled slightly more smoothly. Maybe placebo. It must have been reading pressure OK-ish b...

Modern oils are very good. Unless you have a specific engine issue (eg fuel dilution, sticky rings), follow the factory intervals. I've looked at loads of Used Oil Analysis over the years and I think I would have to go back well over a decade to find a known brand oil that under performed. The only ...

Clicks.
And it's not even informative.
It's an overly generalised statement based on an extremely small, biased selection is utter FUD.

Paid £430 last year for the Previa.
Renewal for CRV £950 (One claim, me added as a named driver).
Comparison site with matching details, £710.
Putting myself as main driver (as Jen is going to do a degree) £470.

I usually have a driver* who drops me off curbside and even opens the door for me. So sideways usually.
Realise I voted wrong !

The final scenic drive before replacing the tyres is always a fun one.

Steve (CRV) got some new thingys (trim/seal things) as the seals were split.

Last one for today
