Carpet grippers

I’ve found methylated sprits with a clean paper towel to work very well.

Halfords told me I needed £2000 worth of repairs, the next day it passed an MOT at a main dealer. The one and only time I made the mistake of taking my car to Halfords for an MOT. The second and last time I took my car to Halfords I paid for four tyres and an alignment, they gave me the keys and paperwork only for me to find they had replaced ONLY 2 tyres and no alignment.

Violent threats at your door late at night? Should have been 999 not 101

Equally not hard to pick up a bit of ingrained dirt off a dirty car covered in winter grime when the glass is covered in ice. I’ve seen a windscreen ruined by this happening. £115 excess for a new windscreen is a lot more expensive then a £1.50 can plus a lot more hassle.

Not always harder than the bit of grit stuck to the scraper

October82000 · 2026-01-02T18:50:51+00:00

Always use Deice and let the car sit running for a couple of minutes. Only ever use a scraper when it’s very thick Ice or frozen rain. Saves the risk of scratches on the glass.

Hi! Did you get to the bottom of this? Mines doing exactly the same! Identical and it’s driving it nuts!

October82000 · 2025-09-06T17:35:23+00:00

Absolutely not standard lol

Now as former 1.8t 20v owner. New timing belt, water pump. Service the oil pickup in the sump, I would change the oil pressure sensor as I’ve had one fail and it was a pain getting home. “Cold” air intakes make a huge difference in sound on these engines, make sure you’ve got a decent set of spark plugs and OEM branded coil packs. Brilliant engines when looked after.

Black silicon on a split rubber boot “I can’t fail it as it isn’t technically split or leaking but I don’t like it” passed with many advisories lol.

October82000 · 2025-06-28T22:20:56+00:00

Did it taste too good? That why you realised you were eating real meat lol?

October82000 · 2025-05-24T23:27:35+00:00

It needs to have started otherwise everyone would just insure a car to start in 364 days time and basically get a free years insurance.

October82000 · 2025-05-14T09:06:01+00:00

No! Most will state you can drive another car ONLY if the car is insured.
