His usage pattern is primarily short journeys, up to 2 miles. A weekly 30 mile round trip. A quarterly 150 mile round trip. DPF light would come on and and he would take it for an unnecessary drive to clear.
His spatial awareness isn’t the best, as recent scrapes with solid scenery testify, so decent visibility required ! There seems to be lots of minor things currently going wrong with his car, and he’s now determined to change it. There is a different newish tyre on every corner and I don’t want to point out that it isn’t necessarily a good thing.
I’ll mention the HRV and Mk 7.5 Golf. His first experience of an electronic handbrake was on a rental car earlier this year. Sat next to him ( I always prefer to drive my own rental as he’s not the best ) I had to suggest that it isn’t necessary to ‘take off’ the electronic handbrake when setting off :-).
