So what was the problem-sorry to say diesels, rubbish maintenance diesels, penny pinching owners and drivers with dirty diesels- why don't they look after their vehicles? Now if your diesel is a nice clean one bully for you but if any of the above fits, well like the old saying "if the cap fits wear it" Chris S.
What was the problem, black smoke? They have likely been modified by amateurs rather than poorly maintained. Ive got to say, I cover 12-1500 miles a week in one of my meticulously maintained smokeless diesels and rarely see the problems you have encountered in 1 day.
They didnt mostly have their wheels jammed inside their arches did they, it seems broken looking suspension, no paint and smoke is a 'thing'.
Oh, and a roofrack with an old suitcase from a rummage sale.
