Microwear H series??

Actually looking again I reckon your right... Do away with the fog mesh things and the grille would probably be OK.

Hmmm... Not great. The metalwork is actually ok it's just the crass bling that's nasty... it would be much better with a one colour paint job and different wheels... And a smaller grille

My MIL picked up her 'new' car a few months ago (pre-reg Jazz and it came with well over half a tank of fuel... It may have been factored into the price but either way was the right gesture from the dealer.

Just noticed the Honda Beat and Suzuki Cappucino in the pics - always liked those but they look even smaller these days given everything has grown over the years!

Just on the design front I saw an image of the new i7 this weekend - looks like it's already been driven into a wall during the design phase.

Interestingly some of the best and longest lasting wipers I've had, including Bosch ones, were from Aldi. They lasted longer and wiped better and quieter than anything else but I've not seen them for years

That's somewhat different though as they are all linked and act as one, braking at the same time etc. With no reaction time. The two second rule is based on reaction time not stopping distance or time. Is the average driver takes 1.5seconds to react to an occurrence in front of them. The 2 second rule is based on that and adds a bit as a safety margin and to make it something easy to remember. Desirable Sight Stopping Distance for a vehicle at 70mph is actually 295m according to design standards and 215m at one step below. Most vehicles are capable of less though.

It's switches the lights in the steering wheel buttons on and off when the headlights are on. So you can turn them off if they are distracting.

Yep...

Tell you what... Just make something up... That's what the 'lawyers' will do... Anyhow this thread is now giving the impression of trolling...

Oh FFS... That attitude is one of the things that is wrong with the world these days. Once again WHY do you personally deserve compensation? You've already said you've experienced no impact at all, nor are you aware of any suffering you've experienced as a result of the issue. You are therefore simply 'trying it on' to get whatever financial gain you can with no good reason. Sorry but that is how it comes across and I'm not a fan of such behaviour - it stinks.

Oooh - full update required once it arrives!

Don't believe everything they say... I've heard that those who have joined these schemes have found that once the lawyers have taken their cut of the fees there could be bugger all left as a payout. Also, should the class action prove unsuccessful and the lawyers therefore not have their fees paid by VW (or the settlement be insufficient to cover legal fees) then those who signed up will find themselves liable instead. Personally I think the whole thing is rather like Ambulance Chasing for the legal teams involved and is simply being done as a money making scheme to create 'fees' - so wouldn't go near it with a bargepole... Also, it seems you are of a similar nature given you haven't identified any financial loss you have incurred personally that requires recompense...

What are you claiming for? ie what financial damages have you incurred that require recompense?

You wouldn't believe it was possible to make an already ugly car even uglier... but they've managed it!

Blimey... That's close to my mates record... He collected his new car, drove it from the forecourt round the block to the petrol station (literally about 100 yards up the road) and was reversed into by a hgv

As per the title - just seen the Pi 400 and soooo tempted to try it at £70... Don't know why but it just appeals and takes me back to being a kid when things like the Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Spectrum and the like were new...

Daft question but do these use a standard 'starter motor' arrangement for the stop start? If so then I'd anticipate it is a much heavier duty one that can withstand the extra use. O only ask as I have Stop/Start on the Swift but it uses a separate belt driver motor/generator for the motor assist and stop/start function and the traditional 'starter motor is only used for the initial start-up for each journey.

Same here!

What sort of rattle? If it's a light tinny rattle we've had a few of those and they've been exhaust heat shields or brake disc splash guards working loose

Count me in there... It was a yellow VW beetle and I was watching the chain alignment on the rear cassette

I had a look at the specs of the Suzuki Rav4 a week or so ago just out of interest... they are pretty high but the major off-put was a CVT box, alongside the price!

Oh... was expecting something a bit more 'interesting' and less ubiquitus

It'd better not be a letdown after all this anticipation...
