1. He never bought a car; they were just too strongly associated with work and being on duty. Though he did borrow Edwin's when the need arose.
2. He never told the Fat Man how glad he was that that he was his boss, because he'd never be allowed to live something as soft as that down. But Wield's been a copper a long time, and even if Dalziel sometimes looked like a monster to Ellie or Peter, he knows how bloody lucky he was that Andy never cared who you fancied, as long as you did a good job. It could have been very different.
3. He's never - well, not since he was a confused teenager - wished to be anything other than what he is, though he'd often wished the world was less hostile, but sometimes he looks at Rosie playing with her dog, and feels a slight pang of regret that he'll never have a kid.
4. He never did quite convince Edwin that a house is not the same as a stockroom.
5. He never took to religion, though he did take to going to Enscombe Church now and again (because it was part of village life, and the vicar and his wife were nice people who deserved support, and no, Edwin, it was nothing to do with the fact that said vicar suited a cassock...)
