That'll be a hands free camera you were using to get that picture I take it I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Absolutely!!!
No not the above car, that was just to show that posh cars end up on RAC trucks, not just my D3!!!
Problem is jumped into my fully packed car ready for the Ribble Bonanza and got the dreaded "ENGINE SYSTEM FAULT". Thought this for a game of soldiers and transferred all my stuff into Mrs DSL's car and headed off for the weekend.
Booked her into Frank Ogg for today and drove there with naff all power and black smoke out the back when change down a gear going up hills. Is it the dreaded turbo on this one knacked, not worried as Mr Tesco will sort it out. It's why I have 2 D3s, cause one will be knackered. I blame Mrs DSL as she said last week "what's wrong, we have 2 working cars on the drive", fatal words.

Given all the Tesco warranty claims, I think we need to look out for a profits warning announcement from them .

Crikey Derek, I would be concerned about your local fuel supply or something. You are going through turbo's and egr's at a fair old rate!
