    They may be dull, but infinitely better put together than Fix Or Repair Dailys.

    Maybe in the early 2000's but those days are past. They fucked up so bad with the TSI's.

    VW are dicks for making timing chain tensioners out of brass.

    And anyway, I don't pay for repairs. 3 seats.

    Mine is technically a van at the moment but it has carpet in the back so it's useless.

    I know that means little to Englandshires, but basically it's one step before putting chips in people's cars to limit the speed to 70. Proper communism.

    EDIT: It's bad because I could make at least 10 minutes speeding up to Aberdeen, maybe more if traffic allows. SHITE.
    That road already has about a billion speed cameras on it. Surely a better use is to actually make the roads better suited to the traffic, ie actually provide dual carriageways/overtaking lanes on the a96 etc. Rather than frustrating people even more.

    It's a load of bollocks. The road layout is utter bilge itself with bloody terrible junctions and short slip roads.

    Pulled over by the Police earlier.

    It's 70 here not 95, mate.

    He said he's giving me a verbal warning for the speed but it turns out that the MOT ran out on the 9th so I'll be done for that.

    Lol I also thought I was going to get pulled over, 2 fucking coppers on bikes with a gun, never even noticed them until literally right on them as they looked more like workies? They had a good fucking nosey and I saw them leaning and noting stuff down as I passed. Fuck knows if they can issue a NIP but I was in a total trance so I have no idea what speed I was going. It was a 30mph zone as well.

    I overtook them at 70 and cruised for a while.

    I then sped up thinking they were long gone.

    They clearly weren't, I slowed down and moved over and thought I had gotten away with it then 30 seconds later the lights came on.

    So you purposely were speeding around a police car. Sound logic there.

    He's not an engineer Foe.

    Mahow if you overtake something doing 1MPH less than you, you'd have to wait approximately 1 mile before they were out of sight. Then you can high tail it. Noob.

    Ahem

    Human-scale objects are resolvable as extended objects from a distance of just under 2 miles (3 km). For example, at that distance, we would just be able to make out two distinct headlights on a car.

    Yours doesn't work when reversing either or did you just think there was a big yellow sticker over it?

    FUCK.

    Apparently there is something wrong with the suspension so it's going to cost like £400.

    Going to pick it up and take it to another garage which is run by a family friend in the hopes that he can do it for cheaper.

    £400 would be mental money if it's one thing. Either they're screwing you or there's a shit load wrong. Back when I used to work on my own cars I changed the entire front suspension once, apart from the shocks, and the parts came to £170.

    Halfords are definitely crooks, so it must be that.

    They charge £8 just to change a headlight bulb.

    I highly doubt that the price of the actual part(s) are expensive.

    Throw the keys at it and tell them to crush it into a cube. You'd buy one with over 6 months ticket for the same money.

    It was only because I thought there was nothing wrong (bar a missing windscreen washer pump) and they were the only ones that said they'd be able to look at it today. Everyone else was saying Saturday at the earliest.

    It's so blatantly thievery which makes it actually funny.

    'Suspension dust cover failed? Let's replace the whole suspension'.

    Oh and Windscreem made me smile.

    Took it to a Polish garage and they also gave me a shit Ford Fiesta 1.4. The door panels on the driver side are all ripped out and the window on the driver side is purely cosmetic, it's being held in place by a bit of wood. At least I don't have to use public transport tomorrow though.

    To be fair it depends on the availability of parts. Some suspension arms can be the whole part only although you'd be able to get arms for cheaper than that.
