Couldn't fault the left, right front or anything in the suspension, but the right back looked down in pressure. Yep, 17 PSI, a ding on the inside lip of the steel wheel, & a lump in the tyre. How the hell did she curb that?
It must be the season for it. I used the missus car two weeks ago as hers was first in the drive and I was only popping out for ten minutes. I never even made it through the gates before I knew something wasn't right, I asked her had she noticed anything strange to which she assured me it was fine and NO she hadn't bashed it.Five minutes later this is what I was looking at.
Yup. Nothing wrong there.

Not a quote from my wife but clearly one from someone elses dim witted bint...
as I returned fro fillin up our daily miser. A lady asked if I could confirm that her newly purchased car needed diesel or petrol as she wasn't certain. We voted for petrol......
If unsure should always try diesel first as the nozzle won't fit in a petrol filler. This alway struck me as weird as diesel in a petrol car does nothing except need draining, whereas petrol in a diesel causes a mini meltdown. as I returned fro fillin up our daily miser.

This system has always annoyed me too. How hard would it have been to design two mutually incompatible nozzles rather than a one-way key?!Blown2CV said:

Surely the correct answer is 'It's a Hybrid, it will run on either'as I returned fro fillin up our daily miser. A lady asked if I could confirm that her newly purchased car needed diesel or petrol as she wasn't certain. We voted for petrol......

Huh? I've put petrol in a diesel to thin in out in cold weather. (OK, I was using chipfat) and it was fine.Certainly wouldn't want to put diesel oil through a petrol injection system...
