That method was stopped a couple of years later. I'm a member of a Dacia forum, and many are complaining that Dacia is blackmailing owners "full service and scheduled work or no reset will be provided".
It was £10 to get a reset from them just a couple of years ago. Then it was £75 (plus VAT) for a couple of minutes' work. Now it's "pay over the odds for a service or get no help".

A local store had some very shabby Impatiens plants on sale outside, 3 trays for £6 (18 plants).
As I walked past, the boss knocked them all down to 10p a tray. So I took a step back and found the only 3 trays that were perfect (out of the wind).

What's your estimate in £s you have spent? I've actually never bought or used one and I'm the kind of person who after watching a movie are unlikely to watch it ever again so it would be a crazy waste of my finances.

Re: What have you just bought?
My brother bought 100's of VHS cassettes, then DVDs, then BluRays, now he's given up. No point with the internet and Streaming services.

The App I use says over 50%.
It's actually cheaper to buy a DVD or Blu-Ray than for 2/3 people to go to the cinema these days (not including the food & Drink you buy) plus you can pause for a loo/booze break.

That's how I see it, all my stuff is now streamed, I don't even download movies now like I did in the dark ages.

Trouble is streaming requires a subscription to the site and an ISP, if either go down your buggered. With physical media you ain't.
My only problem is room.

You can do that when streaming too either using a not so legal app(BeeTV) or paid which is what I use, going to the Cinema is ridiculously expensive especially if you have to pay for travel/parking too.

There is a very good point to owning physical media. Preserving movies. Many of the DVDs/Blu Rays I own have either never been on streaming services or have moved between the different services and then disappeared.

That's why I mentioned the internet.
