Motorbike causes loss of D3
Nice weather recently I think you will all agree. Took the opportunity of enjoying the motorcycle to the full extent and haven't used the D3 for a couple of weeks.
Didn't think anything of it as it was always parked in the same place. Thought I'd take it to work yesterday...
WTF The dearly beloved has been using it, sweeties, sunglasses, shopping bags and general other rubbish has appeared
On interrogation and pulling out of finger nails, a confession was had. She loves it, has been using it and thinks it is wonderful. She thinks that I should use the little Skoda Citygo for work and she has the D3...
Series 2a V8 killed it
Series 3 ex coastguard
110 HiCap
110 rebuilt from pickup to 5 seated hardtop...got that one in a feature of LRO!!!
Disco 300tdi. White
Disco 300tdi. Iceland and back. What a trip and no frozen drumsticks!
P38. Loved that car. Still miss it.
MGZS 180 major smiles for miles. Gone.
D3...LED bulbs in and out. EGR blanked. Geoff flushed and serviced
MG TF - bought for SWMBO. She doesn't like it. Shame. To sell or not to sell.

It's easily fixed. You keep both the D3 keys in pocket at all times. Simples.
Oh, and enjoy the spare room.

Mine loves the D4, but sadly the parking spaces at her work are a little on the small side, so she doesn't take it every day.
There is no truth in the rumor that I slipped £20 to the bloke who was marking out the spaces one day when I picked her up.....honest.

Sadly I mainly only get to drive the disco at weekends as its a child transport vehicle!
But I have to empty it regularly and clean at least once a week! Lucky I love it oh them.

What is it about women and cars, all of my wife's cars resemble a skip, I have to kick things out of the way to get my feet in the foot well!
She has only had her new one about 2 months and it makes me want to Still, she didn't look happy when I pointed out she had moved from a mini skip (Mini convertible) to a midi skip (Golf convertible)!
She also gets annoyed when I tidy out the Discovery after she has borrowed it.Andy

I get bemused by the moans of how the house is untidy, which is apparently my fault. Pointing out the state of her car compared to mine results in the spare room.
