Phew, good job mines a 2.0Caravans aren't the problem, it's the handful of idiot owners that are. Towing a ton and a quarter of caravan behind a 1.6 Astra! We've all seen them.

You would be amazed how many idiots pull out to get in front of "the caravan" causing me to brake hard and then carry on behind him....slower than previously..........and they probably say "Id burn all the caravans".
Weren't too many held up when I was towing with my remapped D2![]()
I hate it when their flat.thought I was gonna see some boobs![]()
I put a set of Firestones on my first mini - it was like driving on ice. No way would I touch them since.FIL bought 4 new Firestones for a Torino (not Yesterday) 2 blew out on the road. He was not ready to give up on Them yet. The next one blew out after backing the car out 10 ' from the garage. No surrender yet. He put the last one on a hay wagon and never moved it. a couple of days later it self destructed all alone in the barn. I still will not buy that brand.
Tow it to the west coast of France, nice little site on the beach, sitting outside in the evening sunshine with a glass of your favourite tipple, you'll fall in love with it again.
No just dump it, let them deal with unwanted cross channel dross.Tow it to the east coast of France and push it off a mountain![]()
Your not suggesting fly tipping now, are you ?No just dump it, let them deal with unwanted cross channel dross.
Always worth checking manufacturing dates, especially on oddball sizes . Not many places store them under ideal conditions, dark and constant temperature and humidity.
No, just pay back for all the rubbish they let cross the channel to our shores. Then expect the UK to pay for it.Your not suggesting fly tipping now, are you ?
I suspect the rim or valve seating …. Will have to throw it in a water bath and see.
No Not a handful of idoits. Must of them are and you get a few good owners.
Which one is the good one then?
