What does your car say about you ?

You know, I spent £100 in electricity for one year and 8000 miles. Worth considering, isn't it?

When everyone goes electric watch the price of petrol plummet and the price of electricity go through the roof.

Apart from my Daihatsu fourtrak i have a Renault Kangoo 1.5 dci which has a lowered floor and ramp for wheel chair access. My mum can't walk any more after a couple of mini strokes and MS. It has been an excellent car for transporting her around and for moving heavy, bulky items like washing machines, lawnmowers, cookers etc.

Only thing is the fuel tank was made smaller and the fuel gauge tells lies. Need to be careful and refill before it gets to empty.

How have you been getting on with your cheap beep-beep Jeep, Doc?

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Silly me misjudged a width restriction squash point I sailed through with the Doblo, silly arse me took out a wing mirror, complete destruct job, £120 replacement as it is heated and motorised.

Apart from that brilliant, just smooth power. Trying to work out how everything works is a pain as I don't have the instruction book. I think I have finally worked out how to use the air con, but I keep popping open the back loading window while I am driving along, I still can't find what I am pressing. Haven't tried cruise control yet as no long journeys yet. And I still haven't tried the 4 wheel drive options, three of them from what I can see, inc slow speed 4wd for deep mud etc. Still cannot believe what a bargain it is.

Got a warning on my 2010 BMW saying that a rear light wasn't working, with a lightbulb icon on the info screen.
The rear night-time light on one side isn't working.

No problem I thought. I'll just open it up to see what bulb I need and pop down to my local car factors and get a couple of bulbs, so that I have one spare for the other side.

Popped off the trim in the boot and there's a load of screws on the inside of the lamp cluster.
Undid 3 nuts to get the cluster off the car and it's only the reversing light that has an accessible bulb. Undid 5 torx screws to take the back plate off the assembly and it's still stuck on.

Confused, bit of googling. It's an LED setup. You have to replace the whole cluster when the LED's go kaput. At a cost of £183 at a BMW dealer. I've ordered a used cluster off a breakers via ebay for £76.50.

So much for BMW being ecological. What a waste of a perfectly good cluster unit, just because the LED's have failed.

Their alarm unit tucked under the rear passenger wheel arch trim was similar. Battery died in the alarm unit. Instead of getting a replacement battery for £10 I had to order a whole new alarm unit (can't remember the cost, think it was over £100) due to it being glued together instead of screwed.

My car is saying I'm a cash cow for BMW / breakers yards.
And Sadiq Khan whenever I visit relatives in London.

BMW should be more accurate with their warning icons. Failed rear bulb should show a "£££'s BMW" icon...

Be grateful it wasn’t an Audi headlight, they are close to £2,000!
