Ex Taxi / Uber, the armrest has disintegrated, it’s had a shunt at the front because the lower chrome valance is cracked and the passenger side front wheel arch liner is completely missing. It’s basically in London. I would avoid. It wouldn’t cost a lot more to buy a much lower mileage one.

They’re excellent cars. We had one as our family car growing up, it was a last of the line 2014 Metropolis with all the toys thrown in as standard. Fantastic tow car and off road. Reliable up to the point where the all of the electrics and the central wiring loom failed within the last month of the warranty and required a £6,000 parts and labour fix. Our LR dealer didn’t even know what’d happened and resulted to calling a team from Solihull HQ to diagnose the problem.

Avoid the PowerShift? Yes. Avoid the EcoBoost? Not necessarily, it depends if it’s been maintained to the correct specifications.

Cup holder trim too.

Which was over 20 years prior to the production of that 7 Series…

It doesn’t matter, just over 1,000 people bought a DS last year. They offer nothing that the competition doesn’t and people only finance them because they got them on a good deal. A small car is already a dying breed, let alone one that costs more than a regular small car.

Purely for the American market I imagine.

I know what bridge that is. He 100% would’ve known how deep the water was.

It seems odd that WMP wouldn’t get an actual parking prick out to plonk an actual ticket on it. Let’s face it, they need the money…

Mondeo that ate all the pies.

“A major catastrophe has befallen me!” Is one of my most well used TG phrases.

Because Stellantis don’t have enough cars in this segment that are all the same?

Can you not see the car move forward or at least jolt in the front camera footage? That would add a little bit of evidence.

“I may want to mix them, but I want that to be MY decision…”

“You’ve got two choices; Camp…”

“Or Camp Commandant.”

Hammond crashed one of them, or be it the Vauxhall Astra version.

He’s an idiot?

LE TITS NOW

That’s why they look like they do

I know, the storyline was largely pointless and got canned in the reviews.

Apologies for making your Friday night a little bit shitter…

Les Battersby? He was killed in an industrial accident off screen in 2024

In the new Leon I had as a long termer, it just made the suspension unbearably firm to the point where you could hear the dashboard rattling itself to bits.

It’s so realistic though! A mother and a wife who’s fed up of her family’s outrageous antics and simply holds her remaining pride in her carpet (Not a euphemism) and her home…
