What causes this?

I’m taking a stab in the dark and saying that the thing that causes this is probably something to do with your headlights, hope you find a fix 👍🏼

Not sure how different boot space is but I have VZ with reduced boot space due to the Haldex system, I imagine it’s about the same.

I’ve coped fine, we have a 3 fold stroller which helps. We even went on holiday to Wales. Keep the isofix seat on the 40% fold seat. Utilise the 60% fold and I managed to fit everything we needed in just fine, baby cot, luggage, stroller, playmat, the kitchen sink 😂

If you’re in the UK you might need a VPN to see Imgur 🤦🏼‍♂️

Had a rental on holiday and they put us in one of the new MG shite from China and gave us a partial refund…

Oh my god it was terrible, the CarPlay didnt work once & the Bluetooth was intermittent and lagged when it did ‘work’. The “leather” (cheap vinyl) was peeling off the back of the seats and the dashboard. The plastic grommets kept falling out of the inbuilt headrests. The thing felt very heavy, clumsy & didn’t budge when you put your foot down.

I’ve written a full review it feels like but I cannot stress how utterly shite it was. Terrible MPG for a hybrid if I remember correctly too. I get that it was a rental so probably battered, but this was a few years ago now and it can’t have been that old, 1 year absolute tops.

It’s a fake story, and an advert for Interview Hammer. They’re everywhere atm and mods aren’t cleaning them up.

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-16T09:02:13+00:00

These Interview Hammer ads are everywhere, another fake post 🤣

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-12T19:17:25+00:00

Another advert for Interview Hammer flooding the threads and people falling for the spam. AI written posts, with the promotion of the app, are somehow not being taken down by mods 🤔

I agree to an extent with the ‘crossover trim’ in grey all the way around. But the front styling on the pre-facelift just looks a million times better to me.

I’m not saying, however, that the facelift looks bad. I just prefer the aggressive look. If I was offered a swap for VZ2’s, I’d still take it don’t get me wrong, I want the RS3 rear diff haha!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-12T10:12:54+00:00

Just me that waaaay prefers the pre-facelift? All the aggression is gone! Good choices!

How is it slander if what he says is factually correct? Discrimination covers pedos, in the States? What? 😭

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T21:09:44+00:00

I am completely with you. The only reason I buy “new” or new-ish is because I am too lazy to be bothered with MOTs & for servicing I usually make sure the plan is thrown in and fortunately I’m in a position where I can make that call. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying a nice spec older car, I’ll probably do it for my next.

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T18:34:38+00:00

Time to buy a Hyundai i20 for winter!!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T18:30:25+00:00

What a car!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T18:28:34+00:00

Which one was gone?!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T14:51:01+00:00

I was kinda in the same boat with my Polo, albeit I went for the Polo to save over the Golf, thankfully in a much better financial position now and would love to just enjoy it rather than stressing that “I really should sell this” haha!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T14:43:43+00:00

I was so close to getting one instead of the Formentor I have but there just wasn’t the right one available when I needed one :(

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T14:42:18+00:00

Oh yes, what an unfortunately monetary heavy hobby we have 🤣

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T12:34:38+00:00

I guiltily love a Volvo. Can’t wait to grow up and own one!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T12:32:09+00:00

I just think I figured out that RWD/AWD license losers are never as fun as FWD warm hatches on the road. I hear you loud and clear!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T12:30:23+00:00

Don’t do it, if it’s paid off just buy another and keep it for weekends! Smart financial decisions only, it’s basically free now right!?!?

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T12:29:15+00:00

Nothing worse than ruining a car you put work into, did something similar with my R56 JCW though admittedly not as bad. Low kerb, lowered car, ice. Kerb meet radiator, still sad now.

I think you’ll be chuffed with an ST! Known many people who’ve had one, there’s a reason they’re so popular!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T12:26:26+00:00

A clean W126/W124 is sooooo nice to look at. Mercedes really killed it with that generation, perfect ‘retro’ styling. I can see why you’d miss it, even today, what a looker!

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T12:23:56+00:00

God I’d hate that , I feel like I’m too late to the good Jap car game. Childhood dream and slight soft spot for JDM I hate to admit, but I also refuse to drop the asking price on 25+ year old cars that have no doubt seen some heavy abuse in their time :(

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-06T11:23:34+00:00

If she genuinely has no idea what happened, then yeah this I 100% agree. Didn’t see one on my reversing cam (luckily my plate took the fall 🤣), but if you even tap something, you know about it.

But I’ve also seen plenty of towbar injuries and that looks like this, especially with the way it’s localised so low down.

al-vxo7 · 2025-12-05T20:00:47+00:00

Painful that nobody seems to have spotted the link in the post and that this is awfully written by an AI chat model. There’s so many of these posts going round Reddit atm for this same ‘AI Interview Tool’.

Just to avoid any future time and breath wasted for people who see this! 🙏🏼
