Merry Christmas all, have a great day! Fat guy seems to have missed us.

To you all.

I would check the known faults, that's why I would get another Dacia, know what to look for, and keep my present one for spares if needed.

Been and filled the car with £35 of Asda,s finest E10, ventured into the shop for a few fresh vegetables, with luck we can avoid the place till the Saturday after New Year. Wish I had the enthusiasm for cleaning my car like @Saul has, mine is filthy on the outside and just as bad inside too, Been weighing up my options, i will run the car till mid summer, then look for a (cheap) car (most likely another Dacia) with a full years MOT on it, what with the rear axle, clutch and exhaust, it is kinda (getting/got) beyond worth the outlay.......I know it's a shitbox, but it has been a good car for the years I have had it. Merry Christmas to you lot.

I am not good with the written word

Nope her "You just hear what you want to hear" no longer applies. As said, it has some benefits, and some downsides too, I won't be able hear the car when it's about to blow its big ends. But strangly I can hear the sodding brakes squeal when slowing down.

Back from my audiology appointment, they fitted new tubes and filters, cleaned the earpieces, a very comprehensive job that she did. I still hear next to fuck all, which at times can be a blessing!

Tough choice to make.

It won't, I have confidence in Loctite products, more than likely the whole handle assembly will pull off 1st.

It will hold, glued where the lugs have broken off, just tried the handle, solid as a rock. In other news my hearing aid has packed up but got a audiology appointment for the start of February

Well I made a effort, I started the scoot, in the shed ..........been busy repairing the outside door handle on the Dacia, the plastic cover fell off, plastic lugs broke off, wife phoned Dacia dealer for me, but none in stock, and they cannot say how long it would be till one could! arrive, so let's hope Loctite glue works.

Great to hear, and hopefully her recovery from the op will progress quickly when she is at home....
