Living with it
Reliability
Tough as old boots, but looks, smells and goes far better.
Image
Nice subtle looks. Thought to be a granny's shopping trolley, but secretly is so much more, hahaha!!
Comfort
Not great on long runs, but I'm over 6 foot, so understandable.

Security and Service
Security
Leave the doors open; saves getting them damaged by local scroates when they try to break into it.

Didn't need to go to manufacturer. Plenty of spares in the scrap yard.
