Hi, in July we decided to go with the scrap deal, and get rid of our old toad, ( well we thought it only cost us £600 and we have had it 18 months and they want to give us £2000 for it )
so the next thing is what shall we get......................
a Smart cdi the new diesel no road tax
and about 85 mpg
ordered it we cant go wrong.
Then phoned Car a tow to have my A Frame fitted on it, How much £463 just for the bit
on the front and the electrics
The very same day I read on here that one of the Funsters has blow his up towing it on an A Frame.
So we put the A Frame on Ebay and brought a new Trailer.
Been away 2 months in Germany, every time we saw a Smart, we could not wait to get home to pick it up, we had arranged to collect the day after we got back.
Anyway picked it up in Norwich, Jane got a big bunch of flower's hand over was good, more than I can say for the shower at Newark when we brought the Motorhome.
We head off home and if was getting slower and slower, mind you we do live 25 miles from Norwich, by the time we got home it was doing 40mph, I rang them up......
..and at first they wanted to send an AA Man OUT
after a few words and telling them what they were going to do, they brought another car out and took our new car away with 31 miles on the clock.
They fixed the car after a while, it was said it was the vacuum pipe to the ECR, but as it's not a good start in life for something to get RED HOT
and might have cracked head or pistons we decided not to have it.
The dealer has been wonderful and could not do enough, we still have the loan car they could get another Diesel for mid December in the same spec.
But they said it would be the 2010 model with more BHP same engine tuned up.
But we are put off the Diesel now, so we cant help save the earth...........
...........and we will a PETROL.
