We seem to have gone full circle from the early days of motoring when car engines were prone to breakdowns, then we created solid robust and simple engines that were nigh on bullet proof, but now we have gone loopy green and designed Eco engines which are unnecessarily complicated and that are once again prone to breaking down. Surely this Eco crap is a false economy and also falsely Eco friendly as they breakdown down more often and thus use more energy to produce spares of dubious reliability.

I much prefer older cars,the pollution business is a red herring scrapping the old one and then building (probably in China) and transporting the modern complicated plastic replacement causes more pollution than just trundling about in the old one. My old v4 transit doesn't get used for six months of the year and yet starts on the first turn of the key after being outside for that length of time in the winter,some of the modern stuff grinds to a halt after being left overnight.If the transit or one of my other old cars fizzles out I can usually get it home with a small tool kit and a few odd spares. I've got a modern vehicle,you need a diploma in electronics to open the bonnet. |
