Clever people will always be clever regardless of what the chair polisher educational hangers on come up with!
Usually about the right number to head home from the pub!8 is the next number after 7 if I remember correct?....get so confused these days....
I owned the same van for about 3 years. Decent van, but the range let it down, particularly in winter but for 90% of what I needed it was spot on.
They have a 3 year warranty on the van, 6 years on the drivetrain, and 8 years on the battery. You're just out on the drivetrain but it might still be worth contacting citreon in the hope of some good will depending how spendy it might get.
It didn't even get very cold.

Yea but it's typical media hype...if a couple of diesel's fail to start we dont see headlines about fundamentally flawed diesel engines!
When I was a kid there were streets full of broken ICE cars whenever it snowed. The usual trade for a lift to school was a push start!
It's been cold in London...we're using our EV because it has remote defrost via the phone so no scraping away at the windscreen

I suppose I should have given some context.
If it is -35C here and I am on the interstate at 80mph with a 60mph wind.
That would give the car an effective effort of driving at 140mph.
Wind chill would about -70 or -80C.
I doubt I could go 100 miles.

The downside of that era was kids were set at the age of 11 and some kids start to perform later than others.. Even in secondary school the third set did not move up at all and left school at 15 with no qualifications.

I don't agree, but even if so, that would have been the fault of the primary school. The problem with Comprehensive school is that everyone is brought down to the same level and nobody is able to fly, as they can in Grammar / Technical school.

Wasn't my experience either...I was a bit thick at age 11 so started secondary school near the bottom...finished at the top! I did put a lot of work in though!

CSE's round with the O levels when I was at school, it was a well documented fact GCSEs where easier than the O levels I took and yet they where supposed to be the same. ie. A GCSE grade 1 was supposed to be the same as a A O'level.

Supposed to be, grade 1 CSE was a C at o level apparently. I was predicted to get 4 o levels by the school. I have 8 grade C or above. French well…..thats another storey!

What I'm pointing out is the fact that GCSEs are easier, than O'levels but are taken as been the same academically.
When they aren't.......

I agree most educational attainment has been adjusted……or are we just grumpy old men with rose tinted glasses of the old days!

When we were younger it was when bl built cars with distributors on the front of engines where they got wet. Diesels now start first attempt.Yea but it's typical media hype...if a couple of diesel's fail to start we dont see headlines about fundamentally flawed diesel engines!

I don't recall our school sending letters out to parents complaining about 20% truancy in year 11 (that is 5th year in old money), which is what has happened recently. There were only a few brave souls who would risk the deputy head's displeasure.

It was a real shock in 1972 to leave secondary school (i did CSE) and start ONC with many of the grammar school lads who were well ahead on maths level. Once we had adjusted to being well paid (compared to 50p paper delivery) and sampled drink and girlfriends the playing field was levelled.

Sounds a lot like the user being clueless , unable as to comprehend the user manual or think things through , so squawks like a cockerel about to get it's neck wrung .It didn't even get very cold.
