Today's clean car

[Hanneke]

:thumbup:

Well, that should be Saturdays clean car, when it came back from the bodyshop... I never wash the car, so it hasn't been this clean, or this integral, in years It is already dirty again from two days driving in the muddy lanes around here

Spotted some dust on the dashboard (wipes finger clean)

Is that a diesel or petrol Hann?

[Hanneke]

Diesel Steve... good little car... Old, and now done 90.000miles, but still a good car... Managed to save it from the breakers yard twice the last 3 years, as rude blokes in towny 4x4's keep driving into it

I happily fitts 3 bikes in the back, as well as 3 people

It needs a new cambelt though :-(

After one of them as a second car so I can get up the lakes more, my mate Crumblydown has one, done over 100,000m and still going strong, the car that is, not Crumblydown, he's still going strong but I don't know his mileage?

[Hanneke]

LOL re Crumbly

2 lt HDi, should be good for another 50.000 If it doesn't get smashed to smithereens before that is...

[OneHillWonder]

Oh I really must wash my car

What do you do to your cars Hann? A 2.0 HDi, sensibly driven and serviced, should be good for 300,000 miles, surely? It's what I'm looking to get out of my Peugeot Expert 2.0 HDi van.

[Hanneke]

I don't do anything with them other than drive them... it is *them* that do unspeakable things to my poor car :w00t:

I am treating it to a new cambelt tomorrow and some new brake fluid, so it should do me another 90k at least

Bits of plastic have a tendency to fall off it though :thunbdown:

We have a Fiat Scudo 2lt JTD van and it has done about 250.000 and still going strong!

Missus has a little 206HDi, had Peugeot deisels for years (used to have the Estates, till the Missus forgot to put the handbrake on ) they keep going for ever - so long as you don't wash them, that's what ruins them and makes other drivers crash into them.

Are you hinting it is the dirt that holds them together?
