On the subject of owatrol, i sold my 11 plate mercedes sprinter nigh on 3 years ago and recently met the person who bought it. He actually asked what i treated the bumpers with as they looked brilliant compared to his other newer vans. I actually treated them with polytrol atleast a year prior to the sale so it has literally lasted over four years and as a bonus i still have 3/4 of a tin as a little goes a long way.

I see the registration on the Suzuki Swift is WD63 OMO. Many years ago when I was young there was a washing powder called OMO. Apparently women used to put a box of OMO in the window as a sign to the milkman meaning old man out. Ian Dury mentioned this in one of his songs, referring to a woman who took an overdose of OMO that made the neighbours talk. The song was called "this is what we find".

Tell the guy with the sat nav to reset to factory and see if that works. Also, if the previous owner had paired their phone with the car it could still be linked and think it’s where the phone is. Reset to factory gets rid of such things as the car then has to find where it is. Best sat n is the current Renault Google based system, works far better than Tom Tom live and, still provides traffic info and better still, it updates itself with over the air updates. First you know about it the car tells you it has updated the maps or whatever other software needed updating. Brilliant system. Saying that though, my Austral has to go to dealer for a software update because it has electric seats that go back nd lower into a “park” position when you turn the car off, trouble is it can crush rear passengers toes. Strange thing is the dealer said it needs a software update that can take hours to work. Hmm, me thinks there might be a physical or mechanical fix to the seat as I did ask can’t it be done with an over the air update that every other part of the car uses. Oh, stop calling door mirrors wing mirrors! The clue is you get in through the door and not the wing! It’s not being picky or pedantic at all as doors are door and wings are wings! It’s basically a sign of ignorance to call door mirrors wing mirrors especially as wing mirrors were basically banned decades ago on pedestrian safety. Another thing don’t judge customers parents by the car they drive, the Rang Rover driver you implied was picky but could afford a Range Rover, did you ask if he owned it, or was it a company car or on lease? £190 a month will get you a new Landrover Defender on a business lease. Hardly expensive is it? By your car ownership , using your metric I would describe you as a person who needs attention with look at me cars or, all show and no go cars. Think about it when you air your thoughts on customers parents. Very unprofessional. If you saw my car you would make the expected stupid comment, £40,000 car must have loads of money. Wrong! I’m disabled so lease my car for around £350 a month but, that includes, insurance, tyres, tax, well zero rated but all I pay for is fuel and it would cost me as much to have a tiny car. It’s called Motability! The basic rule is don’t judge a book by its cover!
