How much do you pay for a service?

[Mad Manny]

I have just bought the goodies to service Luigi, SWAMBO-Lite's Fiat 500. R840 all in, including 1.5 lt of fully synthetic Shell Helix X8 oil more than needed.

Jeez, how small is that sump.
All my vehicles take more that 5 litres.

It's a little 1200 FIAT FIRE engine - similar to what was fitted to the UNO. Actual sump capacity is 3.1 lt including the filter

You must have thought: Uno'd het ek kak gekoop..

My wife had a 1400 Uno. That thing didn’t know how to break.

I drove the 2-door 1100 Uno Fire in my first year of varsity.

IIRC I got about 17km/l consistently.

In 2007 I hit a calf 20km outside of Charles Hill in Botswana. I ripped off the plastic bumper and drove back home 700km at 80kph.

FIRE - Fully Integrated Robotised Engine.
No Italians were used in the construction process...

Because the Italians were taking a siesta...

I don’t care how they built it - it's bulletproof

[Reenen]

So bullet proof, selfs ford gebruik hulle.
Is die Ford ka nie maar net n 500 met n ander dop op nie?

My policy remains: "If it's Italian & you can't eat it - don't buy it!"...

That's my philosophy about the French (and their cars).

My brother has been struggling to sell his renault (sandero stepway) for the past six months - not even renault wants to buy that POS.

Yip, and there are many more just like him, you know its kak when the brand won't buy the car back.
You end up taking such a huge knock just to get out of the cr@p and back into a real car.

Drive it until the finance is paid up and sell it for pocket money

A vehicle for life, like a certain by product brand of Landrover [emoji23]

Hows the el-cheapo Trailer doing?

They bought ours when we got rid of it, but the price we got was not that great.

The problem in my neck of the woods is that not a lot of Renaults are sold (apart from the duster). You can easily drive 500km in Namibia without coming across a Renault, and if you do, its a duster.

Every dealer offered my brother less than the trade in value on his stepway. Renault offered trade in, but only if he bought another Renault, which he was not prepared to do.

There is just very little demand for Renaults in Namibia
