@Seamus Thornton irrelevant reply, but I understand. It’s annoying too.

Same problems 25 years on - the recall system needs to be properly monitored, not self-regulating, where it is the individual manufacturer who issue recall notices. This could be done with a central system which can be updated by insurance companies, manufacturers and government to the benefit of all owners!!

Good suggestion from the other lad down the comments, a centralized system of recal notices on vehicle models. Could be very easily done today no bother at all. What might stall it abit is motor manufacturers not wanting current models tarnished by putting the recall info on a central, easy to access database. However, it's not as if getting it reported in the news or from owners is any worse, in fact does em more harm that way than anything else. What I would say is somebody aught to start a website for that particular thing, prob are a few already and let every manufacturer log in and put recall info on there, aswell as tie in with the insurers so that when someone is looking to buy a used motor, they search say Google and next to all the usual dealers, Gumtree and soo on, this site comes up and they can check what things have been recalled instead of havin got trail through forums and articles which takes hours. Atleast that'd pput more trust in the manufacturer, even if as ye say Vauxhall's fire's don't inspire much confidence in them atleast if it's on a central resource of info people can check out what's been done abou it or what they can do if they're thinking of buying one and what the rememdy is if someone's already sorted the problem out. Wouldn't be that hard to do, if Wikipedia has most basic info for nearly every car made and that was voluntary people contributing to it, surely a system like the one I described wouldn't be hard at all to implement and make widely known. Trouble is of course all the political and other crap that goes into these things.

Will Poundstone It blows my mind that my country of America was actually sometimes ahead of the curve on safety regulations and standards in comparison to Europe and Britain.

Its magnificent. The way its "buffeting" in the wind is amazing

still gotta get somewhere in the middle; the personalities draw in more people!

He had a full-blown afro. I'd love to have hair like that 😂
