Keep it another 12 months and bin it after that.

And if you don't mind an element of self catering and no television I can recommend the Landmark Trust, most of their places are dog friendly. I even took Bob the dog to a couple of them and he didn't destroy them.LynehamHerc wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 8:01 pmWhy?Warren t claim wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 7:53 pmThe downgrade option will be into an Octavia. I'm considering this as due to whippet and JRT ownership that's happened since Ioniq purchase, our only hope of a holiday is towing a caravan and sadly the Hyundai has a towing limit of 1000kg.brandersnatch wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 7:49 pm Can’t help thinking that if it’s still reliable and not costing you too much you should keep it. Better the devil you know and all that.
The other side of the coin is that you’re used to the fixed cost of the repayment so replace it with a new one.
Also downgrade? Huh?
I know that was no use at all. My work here is done.
Lots of places accept dogs, Hoseasons for one and some of their sites are fine.
You can get caravans that weigh less than 1000kg, but most are either really expensive, or would be a bit like holidaying in a Portaloo.

I'm sure it'll lose 200k on the slow boat to Dublin this time next year.

It's white, hybrid and three years old. It'll end up exported to Yorkshire where it'll get a black bonnet and boot and work the ranks there.AutoshiteBoy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 9:14 pm I'm sure it'll lose 200k on the slow boat to Dublin this time next year.

If its not been MOT'd yet (are taxi rules different?) then I'd get rid of it before its last MOT. Give somebody a chance of a hair cut.

Sadly, since 2009 our MOT status has been logged on the DVLA computer.AutoshiteBoy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 9:29 pm If its not been MOT'd yet (are taxi rules different?) then I'd get rid of it before its last MOT. Give somebody a chance of a hair cut.

For private cars, only at the 3 year mark. Are you saying private hire cars get MOT'd from new?

Can I ask why you are the only taxi driver who's speedo doesn't need correcting every 6 months?

Servicing, warranty and trying to play a straight bat.
