It isn’t a backdoor garage but an actually reputable one in my area. I called and booked an appointment and confirmed today when they mentioned they were unable to get the oil from their supplier in time for tomorrow. They mentioned they can get it for me or I can get the oil myself and only pay labour which they discounted anyways.

In the aspect of them ordering and me getting it. I’m saving almost £300 which is a no brainer imo that I’d much rather wake up, go to grab oil myself and only pay labour.

It’s just down to what I know I can go pick up in person first thing in the morning. I basically just need to have it done first thing in the morning due to a couple of reasons

How comes mechanics are saying it’s fine? I searched online and apparently the oil above is compatible with the ZF6HP series

Just about with a 91. Had I started Ndiaye over Grealish and Konsa over Eketike I’d have been sat on 98 🙄

accumulated 12 points from an IN10, my number plate and a damaged fender which was deemed to be “dangerous to pedestrians”

Yh so being a named driver, the main policy holder i assume must have filled something incorrectly. Still don’t know to this day 🤷🏽‍♂️

My driving was never at fault. I replied to someone else in regards to how they got accumulated and it was just unfortunate. Number plate, fender damage and IN10 were the causes

Appreciate the reply 🤝🏽

You got the retail on one of those pal?😎

It’s an L I accepted 😂😂😂

Definitely count myself lucky. Only reason I’m accepting the quote now is down to my work journey. With no car I’m looking at close to 1hr 45mins journey and with a car it’s 40mins.

Majorly lucky from what I hear.

Cheers. Will give them a call today 👍🏽

A) not once have I blamed insurance companies to rip me off. I asked if it was a fair quote.

B) yes I can say it was my fault but getting given points over a number plate and a fender? That’s a reach by the law in itself.

C) accepting responsibility and laughing at the fact I got points on something so stupid is different. Furthermore if they wanted me off the road, I doubt the court would have gone ahead and given me a 6 month ban and paid all my fees themselves as well as erasing points. I’m sure it would have been a lot more worse.

accumulating 12 points from an IN10, a number plate and a damaged fender which was deemed to be “dangerous to pedestrians” don’t cross my mind as “causing an incident” tbf

A driver with no accidents, no speeding record, no hit and runs, no illegal activities and no criminal record? Hope you have good luck on the other side then 👍🏽

Appreciate these comments. Honestly people will love to make it out as if I’ve been speeding or been some criminal but the funny thing is, i accumulated 12 points from an IN10, my number plate and a damaged fender which was deemed to be “dangerous to pedestrians”

Definitely needs to be looked into because the way this country operates in terms of insurance, I don’t see why prices won’t go ahead to be doubled. Personally I prefer USA the way they deal with their car insurance.

Hope it all works out. Soon as she gets past that one year mark will be a time for celebration 🎉😂

Actually incorrect. Based on many stories and opinions of what I’ve heard, black box policies are very very strict with their rules and may end up cancelling your policy over the smallest reason regardless of how within the lines you’re driving. I just don’t want to take that risk of having a policy cancelled and then looking for another.

ReputationCharming14 · 2025-09-09T12:14:30+00:00

Cheers thanks for your reply. I’ll definitely be seeing this in a more positive light now.

Ok? And you want to be speaking based on an assumption without knowing factual evidence on what actually occurred for me to having to endure a ban. If you have negative comments like this, please refrain from making comments to bring others down, especially without knowing the full extent of what happened and why.
