Six years ago I had a new bathroom fitted, I worried about the quality of the bath and sink taps even then, well, they haven't lasted. A bath tap was dripping, took the top off to get to the valve and it was full of cream mud and bits of metal, cleaned it up but the nut holding the valve in place was seized solid.

People tell me that there are no quality taps with brass workings any more, which is a crying shame. I don't mind having to find the money for new taps I just get cheesed off when the product doesn't last.

Contractors coming on thursday to have a look and give me some ideas.

Transmission mount probably failed and I have vibration on the idle. Even the lights today lost power instantly from the strong vibration, like earthquake.

The car runs smooth though when accelerating and when it's cold there isn't any vibration.

I know someone who bought a 4 cylinder diesel Mahindra Jeep a few years ago, no other reason than it was a cheap Jeep.

He gave myself and two others a lift but the vibration at tickover was so bad that we all got out and waited at traffic lights. He said 'the good thing is that it will last for years', in unison, we said, 'why the hell is that a good thing?'
