    I bought some flumps at the airport yesterday

    I just found them in the fridge :eek:

    Crisps live in fridges, diet coke lives in fridges. Flumps don't :o

    :rotfl::rotfl: buying a flump at the airport when you don't need it as a filler is a bad sign QOC :cool::rotfl:

    my crisps don't live in a fridge:eek::eek:

    Nice to have you back :D

    Squillz, you were talking about not buying a 1.6 td thats 3 y/o earlier.

    That is what i'm considering doing.

    The idea of 5k worth of bills doesn't appeal.

    Do you think an after market warranty would cover those known defects ?

    I've now watched the video and not too worried (famous last words:o) It was actually talking about high mileage diesels that are typically ex company cars with ~80k on the clock. The key to managing a DPF is to understand how it works and I do lots of short journeys to T etc and back but don't get very much diesel in my oil at all. The only time I've accumulated diesel in the oil was when we were stuck for two hours in a traffic jam on the M1 with the engine doing a lot of idling. Fortunately it was due a service so the oil didn't stay contaminated very long.

    Gordon Bennett!:rotfl: L'Oreal Paris???:eek::eek:
    Expensive brand alert??

    (I'll have a look; other folks: also do likewise!)
    Also being influenced by something because it's on advertising is, to me, a sure way of being led into overspending!! I recall it being in one of those 'super-scrimper' books or whatever they were called, from the early 90s: along the lines of "think, are you buying this because you saw it on last night's TV advertising??..." (may be an exact quote, judging by Savvy's memory:D:rotfl:.)
    If we are to get the L'Oreal Paris, I and others will help you to do it very cheaply!
    Triggers? ? ?

    Still catching up....backwards :o

    Some of us ladies draw the MSE line at looking good savvy :rotfl::rotfl: if we can get it cheaper then :T:T but if we can't we will buy it any way :o:o
