  • something different- washing machines. 16 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    location has both hot and cold connections. I am thinking it would be more efficient to fill the washer with hot water we already have on storage, rather than cold and have the washer heat it up with an electric element. Would it affect the washing machine to do this? Our dishwasher is a hot fill device

  • Mystery Motorway Exit... 17 Nov 2003 (Forum)
    Does anyone know where the mysterious 'Works Exit' junction lead to that's situated between J14 & J13 east bound on the M4? I've heard that it's some sort of secret nuclear bunker or even a missile storage site. The fact that the sign is permanent - and not a temporary flimsy ?works traffic

    motoring in the early 70s. I can see the dash with that strip speedo, the underfloor storage in the back, every detail really.

  • Toyota Avensis (2009 - ) - New Avensis 16 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    each time you turn the ignition off - pain in the neck when you are used to systems which do not. This was an estate and the bolt looked VERY small for a car of this size, defeats the object. Lots of plastic storage under the floor but how do you get the sofa home from IKEA? I don't think you would

    floor storage, must be reliable and have a large boot. If it's a diesel it can't have a DPF. Hit me up with your suggestions. The only car that fits most of those criteria at the moment is a Renault Megane Estate 1.5 DCI, or a Peugeot 307 SW 1.6 HDI, but I'm rather scared of those
