I have had ONE interview and that is all it took. Have you definitely got it then? If so congratulations.

She said that she will see me soon - you have to know women and I live with 3 of them. |

Paid £5000 and sold it for £150 with a new MOT Oct 2015 with 84K miles covered. All I had to replace in 13 years were the rear shockers (my fault for not keeping the air suspension pressurised), a broken front spring in June 2015, two front tyres, one battery and normal servicing. The cheapo new tyres that were fitted in 2003 still had 6 mm of tread on the rears after 13 years. Got 40 mpg on a run, and it never ever broke down. Carted loads and loads of paving stones, cement, ballast, bricks and other DIY stuff in those 13 years. If I had a car that cost me £1500 in one year it would get shot of it, quick. |

For what you paid you could have had a Grandeur, and still saved heaps and had no repairs at all in the 12 years except the car crash which presumably the insurance paid for. No - I paid it to keep my 40 yrs no claims bonus. If you check the way insurance companies generate quotes, the maximum discount occurs after 10 years NCD, and then quotations seem to increase. No company gives any more than the maximum NCD. Why the **** would they charge more for 40 years than 10 years? It remains precisely the same. AGE !!. And I have an AA renewal quote which actually shows how the NCD discount is reduced from 10 years NCD onwards. Not a lot, but for some reason it is progressively reduced. |

I had two 156s and much as I loved them, there's no way I would have persevered in the face of that barrage of expense. My ex-workmate shelled out £2000 for new injectors for his diesel Peugeot. You've ****ed 10 times as much as that against the wall on yours. Talking of which, 5 pints of beer a night at £3 a pint for the same period, 2011-2016, is £27375 --- more than a new 159. Only a fool pays anything like that for a pint of beer and only a fool pours 5 pints a night down their throat every night too.
