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.

Wow first guess is spot on... Seat Arona 1.0 115bhp Style manual in black over dark metallic blue. I'd argue that it's a size below what I ordered as I was quoted for a Peugeot 2008 which is 200mm longer but we squeezed the cases in ok and it's been a good little run around with far better tech than the Leon I had a couple of years ago. I'm actually glad it's small as some of the underground car parks in Spain are incredibly tight with just a few inches either side of it on the ramps.

Ok... Next one a few days later... SUV Group R (again compact crossover) hired via Goldcar from Reus airport in Spain...

Nope I'll put you out of your misery... It was a 2008 Allure 1.2 manual in that bluey green colour It was actually a far better drive than I expected, that 1.2 was a punchy little thing and the 'nagging' software was nowhere near as bad as the Nissan Qashqai I had previously. What was amusing was my mate trying to drive it after years of driving and automatic... Lots of revs, clutch slipping and jerking...

Ooh sooooo close...

Nope... I'll give you a clue... Stellantis...

Nope...Grandland too big, captur possibly a tad small and I would have been happy with a Duster or a C-HR but nope. Think platform sharing compact crossover...

Have to say .. I'm not convinced on the looks but then Ferrari have gone a bit weird recently like BMW did when Bangle was in charge of design...

Predictable as ever... 🤣

Sounds like you need to reject the car then as not as ordered and they need to get you a correctly specified replacement

Good shout but no banana

Ok it's hire car time again... UK based for work, ordered a small crossover (juke sized) for another trip down south to Ipswich via Enterprise...

Good stuff. The smell will wear off soon enough.

Ooh lucky bugger. Weve been a few times but seems to miss the puffins. Last time we wentbtere had been and Albatross around for a few days and that morning but it'd left about an hour before we got there.

Ah that makes me feel better then as our Kodiaq was the newer R1234YF.

That's a good price! Think ours was £100 for our Kodiaq at a local place

Our mkii fan gave up similarly. I was able to extract it from the passenger footwell without too much issue (one connector a couple of screws and then fiddling) and did the same with some lubricant on the bearing. It freed up nicely and lasted a few more years until we traded it in for the Kodiaq. I'd imagine you can do the same for yours.

If your going that far... Leaf blower??

Bempton cliffs is amazing isn't it... I e never seen so many birds in one place. Was there any sign of the Albatross?
