Thanks for your reply :)
I got it for free on here a few years back but guessing now it's monetised ???? (And yep, I did check the archives first lol)
I bought my first car in spring 1964, our first year in Canada. It was a red Morris 1100 a couple of years old, which the owner had bought for the advantage of (then fairly new) FWD, rallying on icy roads. It took us 40,000 miles around north America, until we returned to the UK 3 years later.
We stuck with BLMC cars through the 1970s, usually buying about two years old, never new, sometimes privately but usually from independent traders. Because I did basic maintenance the cars rarely gave trouble serious enough for any warranty claim, and I have never done that, because I am a fairly careful buyer and I accepted that cars a few years old cannot reasonably be expected to be faultless – especially back then :-). More than once I have saved money by deleting a trader's used-car warranty from his selling price.... Read more
Last examples of the run out models has been the habit for some 57 years. Trailing edge technology is a sound buy in many cases.
Good advice. Our 'last of the line' model, a 2019 Peugeot 2008 1.2 puretech130 EAT6 Allure Premium is now 4yrs old, their early engine problems resolved. Cost £17,000, well below 'list' as they were trying to shift them before the new shape 2008 appeared. ...
Right then, because I'm on a very truncated budget (times is hard and all that) and my locking wheel nut key is currently trapped in my glove box which appears to be permanently closed. Is there a way to get a replacement key/nut without being scalped by the main dealer?
As an aside this is made a little bit urgent as apparently my MOT is due in January Read more
Deffo, there is wine gums too
I have a major service approaching which I’d like to get done within a month, 3 months before the anniversary of MOT.
Am thinking of having the MOT done at the same time , which saves visits to the garage and takes advantage of a “Service with MOT” deal.
I keep reading that you can only have an MOT done a month early. That’s indeed true if you are keen to preserve the existing anniversary date-but I’m not.
Another option is to wait a further 3 months - couple of thousand miles down the line at max-then get service and MOT done together in late Feb.
What’s best?

Very helpful replies-thanks. I think I’ll have the service and the MOT done in Feb.
That is if I’m not persuaded to trade in the car without the service or the MOT by 28/2-but that’s another story!

Anyone know if these forks can be (reversibly) stripped further?
