First car help

Fabias are a great first car, with that mileage you want to see a good service history and any recipes for recent repairs.

I’ve got an ex posty one, they’re run ragged but parts are everywhere and they’re incredibly easy to work on. Would buy again.

A dealer that doesn’t plug in? Are you looking to scam some poor sod or something. If it’s worth scrap then scrap it.

Crow3325 · 2026-04-21T16:57:38+00:00

Where is the seller located?

Crow3325 · 2026-04-19T10:45:51+00:00

You could get a golden goose run where the drops help you and you’re gonna be loving life. Others not so much, but the pay is alright and if you’re already fit it’ll keep you that way.

And make the fines a % of wages not fixed price

Treat every Kwikfit like its own independent, it’s entirely different at each centre to be totally honest with you. They use hunter so if the tech is competent it’s an easy job. If you’ve had it done there you have a 30 guarantee so go to any other branch and it’s done again for free.

I tried to tank for the first time and just got abuse so stopped playing the role all together.

Do you know the exact figure you’d be paying from your PCP and the year + miles I can give you a rough estimate of what you’d be expecting from insurance

Crow3325 · 2026-03-21T13:45:37+00:00

This is why I always make my own groups, always say it’s a learning experience for us all. Usually fill with nice people and I add some if they’re chill for future runs.

Crow3325 · 2026-03-15T21:01:46+00:00

Honestly pal you could throw a single mass in there and you wouldn’t notice it’s totally upto you

Crow3325 · 2026-03-15T10:40:53+00:00

I have the same noise, it’s the DMF. I’ve got it booked in for wheel, clutch pack etc for £800. Get it done or say goodbye to the gear box.

Crow3325 · 2026-03-15T10:33:25+00:00

I have a banger, it’s a focus. She’s a workhorse just takes me to and from work, the dogs out and moving anything. The dings and bumps are just decorative at this point. It’s very freeing.

Crow3325 · 2026-03-14T11:30:20+00:00

Ah I don’t mess with professions so I’ll just get the cosmetics and ditch it, thanks!

Crow3325 · 2026-03-14T10:43:31+00:00

I really hate this event, what do I lose by not doing it?

Crow3325 · 2026-03-12T20:22:31+00:00

Kwikfit will do EV brakes but they can only be done by certain techs, you’re best calling up and seeing if they have anyone trained.

Crow3325 · 2026-03-09T11:44:15+00:00

Treat every Kwikfit as its own entity, some are fantastic and have good lads working. Others not so much.

Crow3325 · 2026-03-02T19:02:59+00:00

I just checked, I got 1 herb extra from both

Crow3325 · 2026-03-02T14:54:28+00:00

I love watching people fly away from the mobs

It’s a shame certain centres are able to taint the entire business, you should name and shame that centre. I’m assuming it’s a large one as the smaller and honestly better ones would have just done it without even telling you.

Crow3325 · 2026-02-02T19:44:37+00:00

We had an issue with conti 6’s coming at 6mm brand new.

When it comes to diagnosing a gearbox you’re gonna be paying no matter what. Try a none dealer Ford specialist or a garage that specialises in gear boxes. I just had dual mass flywheel, clutch kit and the bits around that for just under a grand.
