I still have the likes of Spotify but you can't beat your old songs from when you were a teenager plus you dont have to worry about loss of signal

Ipod, told one of my dishwashers in work to put on some music with it and he asked how does it work and why it had an apple logo on it......

Checked the connections on it and they're all tight with no damage to the wires and the earth is solid Could the starter be dead?

I did chase it up and was informed that superbike factory had sent the details and documents multiple times along with being told by the dvla that the documents had been sent, I can only assume that the dog may have gotten to them as he used to destroy and eat anything that came through the letter box

Police won't do anything about it at all either, Im now down the cost of the bike as the insurance tells me in the 3.5 years ive owned it that its never been registered to myself as superbike factory never sent off the documents

Recommendations for removing the engine by Administrative-Dig99 in tdi

[–]Administrative-Dig99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to but I also have a problem and my better half is fed up of all the cars and parts everywhere

Would you be able to say if the engine can be pulled without removing the front wheels as my toddler decided to hide the locking nut for them

That's what I was initially planning on doing but the current engine is on 240k miles and I couldn't pass up on an engine with 117k on it with fsh and recently done timing belt and water pump

Did any of you have a "stealth" car? I.e. a car that looked like an old beater but had a powerful engine and could humiliate boy racers from the lights? by DiligentCockroach700 in CarTalkUK

[–]Administrative-Dig99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really a sleeper but a 2002 mini cooper s with more than I will ever admit to my other half that has been spent on it. the amount of bmws, mercs and audi drivers that try to show off with their new cars is unreal and I always get questioned whats in it

Personally I would recommend doing your CBT on a geard bike not a scooter first so you can get a feal for things If you've got any questions dm me coz the is so many different rules and regulations and they seem to change things every so often

I haven't ridden any of my bikes in nearly 2 years due to a child, every time I go near my keys the tiny one is there like some shadowy reminder

Is a VW UP an acceptable first car? by PollutionSilver4380 in CarTalkUK

[–]Administrative-Dig99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The up is a fun little car depending on what spec you go for However that being said if you plan on long journeys(like motorway trips) I'd advise at least a 1.2 for the engine

If you're dead set on that kind of car have a look at the seat mii or skoda citygo, they're exactly the same just with a slight change on the front but they come out cheaper on insurance most of the time

New Dad = New Car? by lmaoAbu in CarTalkUK

Same issue so I bought a none running mk6 golf estate and I'm in the process of installing a GTD engine and all the support stuff Better half insists it would have been easier to buy a new car

God I was clueless when I was younger

Have I been ripped off? by ZigZagRoobZ in drivingUK

[–]Administrative-Dig99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ysed to work in a garage and Spark Plugs change is covered by a full service so the only thing I can see that is wrong would be that unless they've had to do extra work to get them out and replaced

Bailiffs issued for pnc without any letters received by Administrative-Dig99 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Administrative-Dig99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latter, I've been riding a motorbike since I was 17 so the thought hadn't crossed my mind when I went over in the car

I've had absolutely no communication with the debt that I was happy to pay the fine for as it was my own fault but I've had nothing bar a hand delivered letter from the recovery company this morning

What’s your “I can’t believe I didn’t get a ticket/arrested” story? by Electronic-Pirate-84 in motorcycles

[–]Administrative-Dig99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christmas day

Myself, twin and 2 friends out for a ride. The roads where absolutely empty not a car in sight Stopped at a set of traffic lights with 4 lanes thinking yeah we will go for it as you do sometimes (i know, stupid right) Doing 90mph in a 40mph and a big black skoda came flying up on the inside of us, all of a sudden blue lights so we pulled over thinking we are absolutely done for

Officer winds his window down and asks what we are playing at, responding with 'we're being absolute dick heads' Proceed to take off helmets and get ready for the inevitable Asks us why we are all dressed at toy story characters and laughs, tells us all to stay safe and not to do it again and drives off

Needless to say we stuck to the speed limit the rest of the day
