They are belts but classed as 'lifetime' so are reinforced and stronger than normal as well as the engines having oval shaped cam gears to reduce load on them. From memory the service requirements are 240,000km / 150,000mls and then only 'inspect'.

I had Eagle F1s on a civic a while back and they were poor in the wet... The vredestein ultrac sessanta i replaced them with we're far better.

Had three since 2007 and four for a while but all different... As per signature with the Civic being the fourth for a quite a while after I got the Swift...

I'm sure youve said previously you had it in the Zoe or Scenic...

That'll be one person in this thread... 🤣

Surely it doesn't really matter either way if you treat zero as zero... Which is what most sensible people do

In general no... But what it is doing is reducing spend on other things that involve travel and is therefore indirectly reducing car use.

Rather than replace it you could just get a new leather cover for it to go over the top

Interesting... Of the two I think I'd go for the Nissan to avoid the 'ooh look at me trendy' stigma attached to the Renault...

I notice the Nissan version of the Renault 5 is getting better reviews than the 5 on everything except 'looks'... It does look very similar but has better aerodynamics and range and more options and tech by all accounts.

TBH I'd be changing insurer if they can't even get vehicle details correct from a registration plate or VIN

Yeah it's done the job and seems a decent drive... I just expected to sit a bit higher in it but really as you say it's just a slightly inflated ibiza

It seems to be showing the compressor isn't spinning but I have. Vague recollection we had similar on our mkii at one point. We cleared the fault codes and regassed it making sure there was some oil too. It then showed the compressor speed ok but still wasn't working. The next day it started working again...

Another one here that wouldn't use Rainworth or Vertu... I use autohaus Dolby down near Sheffield Arena now or The Garage in town

Well... Based on previous experience bugger all... Except the pride In knowing you guessed correctly. 😉 If you're lucky I'll post a picture of it tomorrow as a reward.
