Hi from sunny :) UK

A forum for new members to introduce themselves to the rabble already onboard. Not compulsory!
Tell us a little about yourself, lie if you have to but keep it to just an introduction, not a car discussion.

Hi from sunny :) UK

Unread post by Sanvish »

Hello everyone,

This is the first time I have owned a French designed car previously a Ford fan with the occasional foray into GM Vauxhall which is now in the Stellantis fold.

Bought a used 2018 Aircross in 2022. Haven't been driving much and mostly inner city trips.

I am however a Railway Engineer and would like to understand more about the cars I own to do some basic DIY and this forum seems to contain some very knowledgeable people.

I have some things I would like to understand better and hopefully be able to provide some input on issues I have been able to resolve, if anyone else encounters the same.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

As you will have noticed, if you've been looking around the forum, there are quite a few posts which are for rail enthusiasts as well as the expected car problems.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

We're all here to help each other and if I have the tools, then of course, why not :)
