    Snap On lifetime warranty applies to the original owner with original receipt. Lifetime guarantee for everyone is one of those urban myths.

    I’ve bought second hand snap on tools before some have needed replacing just walk on the snap on tool van and he changes them no problem. Since working in a garage from 1992 I’ve never had to show any receipts to get tools changed snap on Mac or any others that come round

    Corrected myself- 30000 gallons and 4 hours to extinguish one electrical car - lithium is a class b fire and has to be cooled to sub ignition temperature and can't be starved out like a normal car fire. 

    A Wunder what happens to all that contaminated water in its attempt to put fire out 😬

  3. They must be made from recycled low grade steel as we used to see them rusty before the number plates went on from new. The garage a used to work at thought it would be a good idea to take the franchise on. They kicked them into touch after 2 years. There quite bad for head gaskets too. We used a couple of the demos on a shoot with the right tyres on they were good off road. Think a SE model was thick end of 20k new I’ve seen them for as little as 2.5k now be about all I’d pay for one to be honest.

    I am still contemplating going from one car (old 3 door Rav4 used for shooting and a newer Suzuki, used for best) and having just one car for both.

    The Jeep Renegade seems to fit the bill and I`ve seen one for sale on the Cinch website.

    This particular one is a 2 Ltr. manual diesel 4x4 model first registered in March 2016. (probably manufactured in 2015)

    However, reading various reviews, it seems that the 2015 and 2016 had many problems and were generally regarded as unreliable, although sometimes these reviews can be heavily biased.

    This particular one has a low mileage of just 15700 miles with 3 owners which I find a little unusual. I`ve done a check on the MOTs and it appears to have done just under 3000 miles each year. Being somewhat cynical, I believe that the low mileage could be due to the fact that the car was off the road (i.e. in for repair) more than it was being used. I may of course be totally wrong on this and all may be kosher and above board. Unfortunately, with Cinch, they do not disclose the garage where the car is for sale, so no further information can be gleaned.

    My question is, has anyone any experience of the Renegade, particularly around these years of manufacture, or indeed having used Cinch.

    There was a PW member who did own one and gave it a good review, but I cannot remember who it was or what year etc.

    Thanks in advance of any replies.

    They are fundamentally just a fiat 500x 

  5. I bought a second hand CZ 452 with the plastic stock about two years ago it’s been great. It’s done all I’ve asked of it and not worried if it gets marked out in the field with it. Cost less than £200 rifle, scope, silencer and bag  with 500 rounds cci subs. Wouldn’t think you’d need anything better really for killing vermin.
