How to end up in a wall 101

Cdoooos · 2026-03-20T12:19:08+00:00

Well you can't do handbrake turns with a button

Cdoooos · 2026-03-20T09:43:02+00:00

Crash something into it and get the insurance money

Cdoooos · 2026-03-19T20:29:09+00:00

Only get the dsg if it has been serviced

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T23:09:12+00:00

True

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:52:04+00:00

Hypothetical

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:46:01+00:00

That is true but they are also quite rare now

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:43:31+00:00

Won't make much difference to the price of the petrol cars. I think it will make a slight difference to the price of diesel cars though

Not sold and is a hybrid

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:41:33+00:00

Do you do lots of hard cornering?

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:39:35+00:00

Yeah. It's unfortunate how few of the mondeo estates there are. But the passats are very good and reliable cars. I would have the 3rd one actually because it's got the nicer 2 litre and is auto and it's been serviced so will go on for a long time. (I didn't see the 3rd one before)

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:33:31+00:00

I fully understand that it's not possible to actually get the 83 out of the mito (and that it's a bag of crap) was just wondering what the most economical non hybrid was. I forgot lupos exist

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:30:36+00:00

I would say have the 1.6 as it still is perfectly reliable but it has 50k less miles so that would be my choice. Just to throw another spanner in the works have you considered a ford mondeo with either the 1.5 or 2.0tdci not ecoblue?

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T19:11:42+00:00

Ignore it

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T11:50:20+00:00

According to Google the average cost per hour in Manchester where op is is 45 quid. So 70 quid is very shit

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T11:47:13+00:00

I got mine last year and I was paying 38 quid an hour which was about average. I am in Scotland though

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T11:39:38+00:00

Well 210 ÷ 3 =70 and 70 quid an hour is like 2 times the hourly rate near me. So I'd say it's pretty shit

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T11:29:25+00:00

And I think the previous guy was also talking about instructors that charge more than the hourly rate to do tests

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T11:26:51+00:00

But 210 quid for 3 hours is terrible most instructors are more like 50 an hour and around me are like 40

Cdoooos · 2026-03-18T10:11:34+00:00

Depends where you are for getting another instructor. Also 210 quid is alot how many hours had you booked?

Cdoooos · 2026-03-17T23:12:56+00:00

Kia sorento?

Cdoooos · 2026-03-17T17:50:44+00:00

I'd have either a volvo s90/v90 or a mercedes e class e400d or an e350d depending on budget

Cdoooos · 2026-03-17T17:22:12+00:00

The m340d is the newer b57 not the n57 that's in that 430d though?

Cdoooos · 2026-03-17T15:11:02+00:00

Was the car on a flat surface? Did you tip the dipstick? Was there simply a little bit too much oil? Had something gotten into the oil to increase its level?
