  1. I normally do about at least a 90 mile long round motorway trip ones a week plus a longer trip in the shooting season. But it was the Covid lockdown which made me cut my longer trips and it was just my short run to work. I have a Nissan diesel which is newer and it has never had an issue but no lockdowns, thankfully! I did consider getting the dpf removed but I was reluctant to do it. It was the leaking fuel and corrosion of the fuel lines and suspension parts which for a 12 year old car is pretty poor. The fuel lines leaked in multiple places.
  2. I had a Subaru Outback for the same reasons you mentioned. Lovely big boot and could easily handle light off-roading. I liked the car but it everything went wrong at the same time. Dpf, egr kept going. But the biggest problems where the fuel lines corroded leaking diesel. I would have another 4x4 estate car but not a Subaru. I like the Skoda superb which is a strong contender.

    Portugal

    Tavira is nice no wasn’t too hilly, my 2 year old son managed. Some good beaches nearby. Most towns I have been too on the Algarve are really nice but I think most are hilly.
  4. I remember reading that all ballistic missile test launches and rockets are announced before hand so no one thinks it is a start of a war.
  5. I found something similar once. I hate waste but that one when in the bin.
  6. Once charged it on my old rover metro when I passed my driving test. The drive way took ages to get all the oil patches out.
  7. He should be charged with treeson.
  8. Skellerup quatro sport, are a good boot a little on the heavier side but £80 and give decent ankle support as well as warmth.
  9. That would be a more extreme case of a brown field site but provided it was cleaned up properly with appropriate test conducted then yes.
  10. There always seems to be plenty of derelict factories and brown field sites but no one wants to build in those areas. It should be a priority to use that land first but all the new building go on farm land.
  11. I did see Lisa Nandy in Sainsbury’s the champagne socialist 😊.
  12. Bought some of the bio ammo lux steel and tested them on the weekend, 100% successful so far and not bad at £99 for a slab about comparable to most game cartridges.
  13. I personally cycle occasionally, with my young son in a chair on the back and would not use the roads. however like most things in life it is about respecting others and not riding at speed in places where others are around and past dogs. I also would do not have a bell on but use my voice to speak to others while passing. My reasoning for this is ringing a bell might be misunderstood for me saying get out my way rather than alerting to my presence, and a lot of people would take offence. However I remember when my partner was pregnant a cyclist nearing hitting her while we were walking my dog on a public foot path. I am guessing he was trying to set some personal record and thought stopping to allow a pregnant woman past would slow the fat ****** down.
  14. 2nd time United utilities have annoyed me the week. They came out to fix the water pipe outside my house on the footpath, spray painted the ground where the leak is, then dug up next to the leak used a compactor to push it down and made it worse. Called the and they say it can be difficult to locate, not relevant I know.

    Petrol additive

    You can buy some fuel called Aspen but it a lot dearer than petrol. That is supposed to be made for lawn mowers and other small engines. I have not tried it myself. For the amount you use it won’t brake the bank.
