Yes, I'm beginning to think along those lines myself! I'd expect to do brakes and rubber mounts on most vehicles at about 130000 miles unless they've already been done. With the state of today's roads what else can be expected? My state pension and life expectancy are against me upping my funding level! I'll see what the seller comes up with.

You want a nice little Dacia duster 4x4, when pitted against a disco it did pretty much 90% of what the disco did off road.
Simple, easier to maintain and cheaper off the bat.
It's OK having a simple car or even a complicated car. The biggest problem is the lowest quality of parts ever seen in the history of motoring....
Don't forget, once it's out of guarantee... The dealers don't careand it's only got to perform well in that period

Maybe I'll have a look at that. I need a bigger car for accessibility reasons. The only other car I've owned that was easy access was a Chrysler Voyager. I'm not too worried about 4WD but living in rural Kent with the nearest bus 2 miles away life isn't always easy.

I'm no longer agile enough to lay on my back under a series 2 to fix it! I doubt the "ride quality" of it would suit my back problems either!

The Dacia is what I would go for now if I was changing but I will keep the P38's going as long as i can.

I've noticed the Jag won't go full speed unless the temperature is up or it is on the defrost setting. Could be the same?

Bought her a second new battery in 2 days New battery turned up, mechanic brought it across to fit. It was too long and won't fit in battery box. Soooo jump started and followed him to the garage. Nice new Yuasa put in. Vroom vroom went the Golden Girl
Other battery going back tomorrow. For anyone who needs to know Numax does not fit. And it's weirdly light

Got in the car this morning.. after a brief moment the SRS light and Airbag Fault appears on the dash - no warning beeps.

Turned the engine off and wobbled the yellow cable under the seat as that’s been an issue in the past.. nope. Still there.

Time to start digging deeper
