when you had an accident maybe the bits that fell apart were designed to, to limit impact on pedestrians.

the other thing is ther is more of a cheaper market than before with certain manufactures, but the good ones have obviuosly moved forward.

the problem is getting info on all vehicles sold what has gone wrong with each vehicle, the costs, etc etc.

i have same proplem, people ask me what is best boiler, it depends on original installation, maintinence, prices of boiler parts vary massively between manufactures even those that are same boilers under different names. The most boilers i fix are worster bosch, is this because there unreliable or because they are so popular. without the figures you can't really say.

just like there is twice as masny transitrs on the road as any other van.

i hope i'm making sense :?:
