Bitter sweet.

I hate the fact that the car has died and is basically uneconomical to repair. Seems such a waste. The engine is knackered and the car is a 2009 so off to the scrap yard it will go.

I never really liked the car, but great for transporting the dogs, shopping and building materials.

The good news is that I now have to drive one of the two Coupes. These are now back to everyday cars. Amazing how they stand the test of time.

For now I will stick to the Coupe's, but in the spring I will get something else as a work horse. I am thinking to stick to old school stuff that I can fix. I also reason that a Fiat is best suited they have always been good for many years.
Probably a Doblo but I will see.

Doblo’s share the same oil filter (the longer one) meaning you can buy in bulk wink

Cheers Jamie

A millionaire pal of mine used his Opel Manta as a builder's van for years.
