good luck with the assessment


Cheers!

It's now being looked at. I think they've pre-ordered a new gearbox and clutch so they seem confident it'll be approved.

The courtesy car (last week it was a top end Freelander)? A 1.2 Corsa - it's HORRIBLE!!

BM also currently being sorted (I'm sat in the waiting room) for a wobbly brake disk issue that's been rather tough to sort - BAD CAR WEEK!!


Two stealers in one week... Sounds like a bloody nightmare



Ouch. And those prices are for an independant. I would hate to know what a dealer would charge!!
I take the BM to an independent (it's out of warranty) - attractive receptionist, wifi, real enthusiasts that run it -TBH I quite enjoy going there! Brakes sorted, corroded hubs done, turbo vacuum leak sorted (replaced all hoses too), wallet approx £500 lighter.

I fitted my "summer" SVX alloys with KL71's and made a real mess of draining fuel filter, the small drain broke off and the filter was siezed on to the filter head, took some removing and the design is terrible, no thread but a rock solid 3 lugs to locate filter to the head... ANOTHER CRAP DESIGN. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Gave it a good wash and wax Thumbs Up

Then went for a drive in the sunshine and nearly got it dirty because of this tool:

What the photo's don't show is by how much the top skip is sliding about on the bottom one, and those eagle eyed members will note the top skip isn't held on by anything Shocked

Had a new windscreen fitted after getting a 2" hole punched into the old one thanks to a bolt dropping off a truck. Amazed at the amount of water trapped behind the rubber - it has not rained for days.

I bought some stable matting for the rear but it weighs a TON Shocked then remembered I had a scruffy TD5 rear mat in the shed so cleaned it and cut it to fit & job done for a while Thumbs Up

Also found a rear mat for a SAAB 900 up to K reg if anyone needs one.

Bob, how do you feel Autoglass (or whoever did the work) sealed your new windscreen? As we know the windscreen rubber seal is a weak point and a source of water ingress.

I wonder how beneficial it would be for any of us to coincidentally have bolts fall off the back of lorries, meaning that we could get new glass sealed in properly just for the cost of our glass excess (usually free to about £75) Whistle

I've got a nasty stone chip in mine and not sure if it's damaged the heating element. I assume insurance companies don't normally take the "we don't cover heated screens, sir" stance???

It could possibly be plugged and filled, but if the element is damaged, may as well just get a new one fitted? Craig Rogers
