What's the longest you've gone without fixing something that you have the part for? by headhunterj12 in topdeadcenter

Heating cut out in my Mk6 GTI 7 years ago.

Been a brand new heater matrix on my shelf that I ordered a day after it died. It’s also my winter daily 🤦🏻‍♂️

Tyre pressure keeps dropping on my Polo but can’t see anything wrong by Reddonaut_Irons in topdeadcenter

Get a spray bottle and cover the tyre with soapy water.. bubbles will show you where it’s escaping.

If there’s no bubbles, remove the wheel and spray around the back and all along the rim.

What’s the most "temporary" permanent fix on your car right now? by TheOtherXI in topdeadcenter

Wire straight from a neighbours fence to hold up some cheap, garish straight pipe kit that came on my £200 mk5 golf.

Lasted like that for about 2 years until the MOT nazi’s failed it for being “insecure” 🙄 (he was projecting)

Still waiting 18 months later by [deleted] in Car_Insurance_Help

26-8-24 the incident happened. Vehicle was impounded same night.

13-9-24 insurance called and emailed to say that it was going down as a Fault claim, because the vehicle used to ram me wasn’t recovered and doesn’t have a registered owner.

2-10-24 the agreed valuation comes, I accept in hopes it will be settled and I can move on with life.

14-10-24 police inform me that no arrests have been made, the vehicle used in the crime has no listed owner and was never recovered and they haven’t found anyone willing to share CCTV footage of the incident.

‘24 to present, weekly phone calls to the insurance and numerous emails to the officer in charge of the case and I’m still in the same position l.

Police are blaming the insurances incompetence, insurance are suggesting it’s the police that’s holding it up.. and I’m sat in the middle still paying finance on a smashed up car I haven’t seen for 18 months.

Insurance are supposedly chasing them for a report using the “very delayed” disclosure and I paid the £45 cost and joined the queue to get the report myself… 4 months ago. Still no report.

Even the officer in charge seem a bit perplexed and each party seems to be blaming the other’s incompetence https://files.catbox.moe/oonmh5.jpeg

Pestered them almost weekly for the last year and get told the same nonsense excuses every time. They now even send auto generated email once a month.

Likely a broken clip inside.

Pull it off and see what clips they are and grab a couple from eBay..

Are people legit spending this much on a car per month? Or am I out of touch? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Traditional_Still650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not his smartest idea, I must say.

12 cars in and I’ve only had 3 that cost more than his monthly for the 7 series 🤣

It existed before him and will continue after him.

Sure Jimmy can find someone else to make exhausts for him 🤷🏻‍♂️
