Qashqai?
The cars listed are probably pre 2007.
:rolleyes:
Apology accepted
Will my Datsun Cherry be affected by this?
No, it only impacts cars
I notice these cunts have been slipping the ‘Best Built Cars in the World’ back in the adverts again.
Yet another problem.
I see every diesel Volvo sold in the country since 2014 is being recalled because the engine might go on fire.
Separately I checked my Indesit drier tonight and it’s not one of the ones likely to go on fire.
I haven’t had any fires yet. Scaremongering?
Their 1.6 diesels have a ford-Peugeot engine, which is an utter heap of shit.
Are you driving a Volvo or an Indesit?
A Volvo but I have an Indesit fitted in it to wash my dirty diesel.
