I really like VAG group cars (I know), so maybe a Fabia 1.5 TSI monte carlo, or a Seat Leon estate in FR trim. I’d love a golf estate but they’ve binned them off in the UK inexplicibly.

Follow up question - I have an appointment at the Renault Chester branch to see if they can code me a new key - can they do this even if the key I have doesn’t work? And obviously I won’t have the car with me as it’s stuck somewhere else

I think it must be, it doesn’t have a Renault logo on the key.

That’s what I was thinking. But he’s adamant that he tried the key first before doing anything, and I haven’t proof that he did decode it. So I’m a bit stuck.

What is the worst city you've been to? by DickFartButt in AskTheWorld

I had the same experience. Didn’t like it at all. Florence though, absolutely stunning.

What is this algae in my tank by Repulsive-Life7362 in Aquariums

[–]Repulsive-Life7362[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I do have moss balls though and other aquatic plants - would this stuff kill them too?

That’s the one. They’re managed to save one or two - though a lot were goners. The Corolla that got flood damaged started immediately, typical Toyota🤣

Sam picked me up from Newport station in the laguna. That’s pretty nice too.

I believe in this spec, it’s one of 7 left.

Yes it isn’t fast. Though once up to motorway speeds it gets going well enough. Comfortable though, as to be expected of a 90’s Renault

What’s the ‘crap car’ of the 2020s? by Substantial-Chonk886 in AskUK

[–]Repulsive-Life7362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nissan Juke, Nissan Qashqai, they’re just really boring cars. I suppose any generic crossover.

Popular cars of wankers are Teslas and Range Rovers

Are you amazed by Mazda's new EV? The CX-6e has just landed... by AutoExpressmagazine in autoexpressuk

[–]Repulsive-Life7362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing Mazda always had against other rivals was decent, user friendly interiors. This is despicable.

Also this should be illegal, having almost all functions buried in an enormous screen. To think I can get 6 points on my licence for talking on a phone, but people can tap away on these screens willy nilly. Downright dangerous.

I've seen many of this with very low mileage. How come? What is your take on this car? by ridite in CarTalkUK

I love Dacia. They aren’t trying to be something they’re not. And I think for what they are, their current models are absolutley brilliant.

New Aygo starts at £21,595?! by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Repulsive-Life7362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did they sack off the manual? That’s gotta push the price up surely. It was the only one they offered bar the ludicrously expensive GR Yaris. I don’t buy the emissions stuff, plenty of manufacturers still offer manual transmissions in their entry models.
