EVERYONE thinks their shoite smells better than everyone elses. That's why we can sit in a small room while emptying our bowels, but when we go in after someone else it makes us want to heave.

A friend of mine has a Skoda, one of the small hatch backs. From new and they flywheel has gone before it hit 15k. Common fault apparently. They wriggled out of covering it under warranty because he had an oil and filter change done by someone other than a skoda give us your wallet garage. Not everyone I know thinks well of them.

The Skoda Fabia is a dreadful little car. Design-wise it's a basically a VW Polo but the Skoda quality of build is appalling (with the Fabia I mean). Plastic rattly dashboard, tinny bodywork, the cylinder heads on the diesels go regularly).

Not sure if your being sarcastic. Lol

I've never driven a Ford, Vauxhall, Citroen etc. I stick to German or Japanese cars.

I've got a German made Focus estate. Made at the Ford Plant at Saar Louis in Southern Germany where they used to make the Granada and Capri. It's mint. Quality of build is superb. I gather a lot of the Foci on British roads are German made models. Peugeot diesel engine mind (the 1.6 tdci as Ford call it which is actually the Peugeot 1.6 HDMI)

All main dealer are 'give us your wallet garages' these days. Apparently that's where the money is, not the profit on the sale of the car. I bought a 3 year old Fiat van some years ago - hadn't even had it's first MOT before I bought it from the company that owned it. The sellers gave me all the main dealer receipts with the van. I went through them one day, and they had spent several thousand on servicing and repairs in under 3 years. Every time it went in, it was £100s, and small jobs were absolute rip off prices. I know it was a Fiat, but couldn't believe all the parts that were replaced. Must have rebuilt that van, and it had 65,000 miles on it when I bought it. I owned it for 10 years and apart from general service and small bits and pieces, I hardly needed to spend any money on it.

Main dealers = robbing b'stards. Stay clear!
