This summer I will likely also buy a Range Rover circa £35k because I’m 53 and have always wanted one. When I reach 70 I don’t want to regret anything. The Duster will be staying though.
It will be interesting to find out whether the Range Rover ownership lives up to expectations and whether or not you choose to drive the Duster in preference.The LPG thing is quite pleasant really. Today the place was between two businesses I was visiting so I pulled in and reversed up to the pumps. Very smart set up just built with a canopy covering the car and the 4/6 pumps. Attendant comes out connected the adapter and set the pump going. From start to finish fully attended and out 4 minutes later. I haven’t pumped my own fuel for 5 weeks.
Croyde it’s an eager little engine I think you will enjoy it. With regards to Lowdrag’s observation of scratchy plastics I actually find the interior superior to many in the sub £20k bracket. Our V90 feels more weighty and the materials are softer but that costs £38k so not really comparable.

I've been using mine on my 8 mile each way SW London to W London commute.
According to the computer thingy, I'm doing 35mpg over the past 3 days.
If that's true, it's pretty amazing for stop start traffic, although nowhere near as bad as pre Covid.
I also didn't expect the radio to have so many functions in the Essential. Phone, Bluetooth and today I discovered it's got DAB.
Plus buttons not touchscreen, so much easier to control.
Don’t worry it’s not Uber! I’m carrying out COVID 19 work place spot checks for a Government department. My usual income stream has suffered a dramatic downturn so this work is a blessing. I’m a grafter and whilst I could afford to not work for a couple of years I want to show my son that hard work is important.
It’s very humbling to see how hard the majority of employers and employees are working out there and help them with working in a CV19 secure way. A lot of talk about “key workers” out there but in a balanced society I see it that everyone’s work is valid and key.

These Renault Clio's, although not a Dacia have the throbber and seem great value at £11,500

Available in a range of colours, they actually seem better value and better equipped than the new Dacia Sandero it is based on?
Plus you get a five year warranty compared to the three years with Dacia.

Joey those Clio Plays look excellent value. I think a new Sandero at that price point would have more kit. I agree that the 5 yr warranty is also very appealing. I wonder if that gen Clio is due a facelift.
There are no interior shots on the advert but if it has the big touch screen on the dash then its the current version.Looking at the other Clios they have for sale (same age/mileage), I eventually found one with the interior and it is the current version with the big dash mounted touchscreen.

The Play doesn't have the touchscreen, so a Sandero for the same money would have this as a bonus. Depends how important that is, but £11.5k for a brand new Clio is great value.Looking at the other Clios they have for sale (same age/mileage), I eventually found one with the interior and it is the current version with the big dash mounted touchscreen.
