All fair points of course.

I’ve just been tainted by being driven in, and sometimes driving, friends’ shitbox diesel Berlingos, two of which spontaneously committed seppuku on the side of the road and had to be instantly scrapped.

Am I the only one wondering what would cause such a catastrophic failure?

ectoplasmosis in reply to @lynx

Both were timing belts/chains I believe. In one instance, the owner had forgotten to renew her insurance, so the breakdown cover refused to tow it, and after a warning from the feds she called a cash-for-cars hawk to delete it from the side of the dual carriageway.
