Ninth and Tenth Commandments and all that. I'd keep a close eye on the missus....

I was out bringing in the bin when they pulled up. Apparently, they had been coveting ours for a while. Particularly nice bin, is it? |

The way our neighbours keep taking our paper recycling bin, they must really like the insipid shade of blue it is moulded from.

Do the council issue red ones to those who support the "other" team in Manchester?

Thankfully they have chosen such a naff shade of blue, no one can claim it for their team..

Oh heck, it’s happening again.
I’ve “borrowed” the Renegade a few times recently. Bit of building work going on here and I’ve been parking round the corner to allow access for works vans etc. So it’s just been easier to use one car for everything for the past week or so.
Problem is, I’m becoming a bit too fond of the Jeep. Just love the peppy little turbo petrol, and counter intuitively, even the manual box.
Even caught myself looking for another one on Autotrader a couple of times.
Oh dear.

Step away from the computer... you'll do yourself serious self-harm if you start down that road... You'll want a newer model with a bit more kit and soon enough you'll have blown the bank account on a car you didn't realise you wanted.

Erm, might have, sort of, kind of, maybe, in a way, bought a Renegade today. It's um, coming on Friday. Allegedly. 2018, Black, Longitude spec, 1.4 petrol manual. 14,000 miles. Got change from £10K after weighing in the Qashqai. Please don't judge me, I was under duress. Actually, I quite like it, and I like the group 10 insurance which should be doable if we add "him" as a named driver. Just need Llandegla to reopen now so we can pretend to have a "lifestyle" eh? 😅 Well, 50 weeks later, it’s in today for its first service and MOT in our hands. Haven’t heard from the garage yet, which is (usually) a good sign. So far so good, it’s been great up until now and “she” still loves it. Actually, I’m kind of fond of it too. Keeper I’d think. |

Is it in the FIAT dealer's for the service?

No, local indy.
Just got it back, all good.

Ooo, they can go a bit funny without dealer servicing and updates, FIATs can. Especially 500Ls. My Mum's has, a few times.

Anyway it’s a Jeep. Tough as an old (Italian) soldier’s boots. Can be serviced by a one armed ex GI with PTSD you’d think…

IIRC there was some oil related warning light in my Mum's which could only be switched off by a dealer. Local guy did the required work to resolve whatever oil related problem it was, but there was a mandatory dealer visit to reset the warning light.
Actually, you know what, I am no fan of SUVs as you know, but Mum does live in a swamp, likes her ageing 500L, so perhaps she'd get on well with a Renegade. I think she'd probably baulk at the badge and the looks though. I expect her next motor will be an MG ZS EV.

It’s just a tall hatchback really. I quite like the extra ground clearance for some purposes. Friendly sort of car if that’s possible for a car. Suits being a bit muddy.
