Huskoda

Has anyone mentioned its probably down to the gear ratios yet? Lancia Delta S4 is better btw

Will the trailer be for sale if you don't?

If you're still looking for a fitter, I used PDA Car in Harrogate, also from a personal recommendation.

There are other countries that I know require the same tyre model on both sides to pass. I think what we have here is ludicrous. I did miss construction off that list as you can't really get anything other than radials now anyway. Compound isn't recognised at all.

Close. In the UK, the law requires you to have the same size tyre across the axle and fitted the right way around if it is sided/directional. Sadly, mixing speed/load ratings, compounds or one being directional/asymmetric is not relevant and perfectly allowable by law. You can have an asymmetric summer at 1.6mm on the same axle as a directional winter at 9mm on the same axle and thats perfectly legal here. Though utterly stupid. The law only makes an exception for a temporary spare tyre as long as it is marked up as such. You would technically be limited to 50MPH with a 205/55R16 spare with the same size winters only because of the sticker on the wheel, which it is also an offence to remove or hide. This gets even more stupid for cars where that size is normal fitment anyway.

Who did you ask? Which say the opposite. http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/the-second-hand--car-i-bought-has-a-problem-what-are-my-rights A private individual is not a 'retailer'.

Does it actually not work or does the light just not come on? Earlier ones up to 2006 at least had no LED behind the icon on the dash.

Dealers keep the V5. It's your responsibility to send off the yellow slip. They generally seem quite keen for you not to do this, though, possibly for reasons such as this.

They certainly cannot be condemned for form over function The spartan interior has grown on me, especially compared to some of the shiny plastic and button-festooned monstrosities such as from Vauxhall or Citroen.

I entirely agree with you that the legal solution is both very expensive and is likely to end up in you being back in the same situation again sooner or later (since the DPF likely could not cope with your driving patterns). Which is why I got off the diesel bus instead.

And this is a surprise to who exactly? Perhaps only to those who have had their heads in the sand pretending it was ever legal.

The Levorg I drive was pretty good, I thought. Lower power than my Forester, but still felt it went well enough. I am used to the CVT though, so it didn't feel alien to me like it first did. Once you learn to use SI-Drive its a wonderful thing and other automatics feel clunky It was actually Skoda's abandonment of petrol 4x4s that pushed me to Subaru in the first place.

Have you considered the Subaru Levorg? 1.6 Turbo 4x4 estate car (170HP). Loads of kit as standard.

Its already started at an employer I know of. A new round of contracts have gone out, with the addition of some clauses that when questioned, HR said are not enforceable but in there 'as standard practise'. Relating to work hours and termination that just coincidentally might come into effect if the UK dropped some EU rights. The department is together rejecting them but HR are saying 'oh, its not going to happen, you have nothing to worry about, its not enforceable'. And completely ignoring the 'yet' part. If they're not legally binding then what purpose do they serve in the contract? It appears they are putting them in as time bombs for future use, should they get the opportunity and need. This isn't scaremongering. This isn't a what if. This is actually happening. I have seen it with my own eyes. This is what Brexit actually is bringing to the common man.

My answer was tongue in cheek at the silliness of that Brexit argument

So just like most elections then. As to property prices, wouldn't all the migrants immediately be good and leave back for their own countries, thus causing house prices to drop due to the sudden increase in supply?

23rd June. The papers havent gone out yet.

Four wheel drive on mud is a very different thing to four wheel drive on snow/ice. Mud resists you moving and tries to stop you constantly, as you're basically paddling in it. Turning and stopping aren't really a big problem. Its mostly about getting traction for moving. Snow and ice make any changes difficult, whether thats increasing speed, decreasing or changing your direction of travel. Thats why tyres for snow and ice are far more important than driven wheels as they give you the bite into the surface (which is actually pretty solid, unlike mud) so you can make those changes.

Its more down to the tyres than how many wheels are driven.

So, does this mean 16" winter wheels can be used again?

I find it very sad how many people seem to think isolation (which as has been said will be extremely expensive and paid for entirely by the tax payer) is a good way forward. Corbyn, for all his faults, is bang on about the rights bonfire. A huge number of both employee and consumer rights come entirely from the EU and I am shocked by the number of low paid people who are itching to lose these rights for the perceived 'benefits'. Are people really so naive as to think the UK will enact better laws to protect the common man? They could already do it at any time. The EU provides a baseline, not an upper limit. That they haven't for many things like working time and holiday pay says it all. Also, what, on June 24th are all immigrants going to be deported? Not a chance. The country depends too much on them. Many are very well integrated. I know a lot of EU immigrants and every single one works hard and pays taxes, to support the lazy brits that cannot be arsed to do a job (I have seen this enough in person), not because the job doesn't exist. I think its crazy to think we can shut the door to our neighbours and be better off. The government has even been rather clever here in that even a remain vote would require a renegotiation of terms with the EU regarding the hot topics. I cannot see leaving the EU as a positive thing for me or anyone I know.

Both parties have signed for the sale of the car. They owe you money and have no right to return the car as long as it is was described. Private sales are entirely at the buyer's risk, excepting that. That they have your car, the V5 has been senty off and you have their signature on a document outlining the sale is very legally binding.

I use a £10 breaker bar to loosen the nuts then whizz them off and on with a normal combidrill with a 1/2" attachment. Standard torque wrench to tighten.

Changing between summers and winters every year makes sure the wheels never seize on. I never bother adding anything any more.

If I saw found them doing that, I would go at night with the spare keys and take the car home. Then await the very awkward phone call in the morning. 'Your vehicle has been taken, sir.' 'Taken from where, your premises?' Then see where it goes from there The accident thing is a very serious risk. If the business insurance did not cover them to take the vehicle home, then the responsibility falls on your own insurance under their compulsory 3rd party obligations.
