Indeed we have Roger. Although the Multipla passed it's MOT just before we left for Spain/France in November we had a problem in Beaujolais when the dreaded "Aaron Calder" light came on. Nothing earth shattering, just a temperature sensor. It did cause us to wonder if doing 5000 miles (last year) on the continent with a 13 year old car was altogether sensible. Neil is a good mechanic but there are too many computer gizmos under the bonnet that need a garage with all the right equipment to sort them out. So after a lot of soul searching (I loved my Multipla and I know they were ugly) we bought a new Honda CRV. Got it 31st Dec to qualify for a big back hander from the dealer!! It's white (Neil's choice so guess who's cleaning it) but it will hopefully look good attached to the Eriba. I'm just trying to get used to all the buttons etc. It seems to do an awful lot of things that cars never used to do. Daughter has already synced her I Phone to it (it's a car for goodness sake) but I will work them all out and it does seem to do an awful lot of miles per gallon.
