    Car theft - is it out of control?

    I've disabled the OBD2 Port on my car & overnight it has a disklock on it to put off the opportunist. Most of the ones round here seem to leg it when disturbed. I would hope a couple of minutes have passed whilst the ourdoor alarm is screaming away before they figure out that the OBD aint...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    Why are you bothering with a warranty claim? If the arch liners are loose due to missing clips & it's caused damage then it's thecl Consumer Rights Act you use, not a warranty. They have sold you a defective vehicle.

    Your bad driving encounters

    Straight lining roundabouts seems to be a real issue now. Last year my dad had someone do it to him, how the XC90 driver didn't spot the 40-ton HGV to his right I have no idea as he hit about half way down the truck & made contact with the 2nd axle.

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Complain about it, it's likely just a glitch & the agent is just shrugging their shoulders because computer says no.

    Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

    7% I think it worked out at but i've gone back & asked for more. I want 25%.

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Yeah, it's nit that simple. Your risk profile may have reduced as part of a re-rating procedure which has negated the increase. When I worked for an underwriter we had a base price, a starting point if you will & then different factors & loadings effectively acted as multipliers &...

    Going out Solo

    Done it when working away, in fact I always do it when working away! No point sitting in a hotel room so go out, grab a few beers, get a meal etc, doing it at home though, that would just feel odd for some reason.

    Too many credit cards? aka "The Credit Card thread"

    Handy for work expenses like travel & hotels, keeps it all separate from my actual account.

    The joy of being a landlord

    Problem is a lot of renters can't buy as they can't get a mortgage.

    Under a dealer warranty, should injectors count as part of the engine?

    None, i reported the issue to them & the following day they agreed to pay a local specialist to do the work as they didn't have the tools required.

    Under a dealer warranty, should injectors count as part of the engine?

    On the flip side, i bought my car from a dealer & it turned out to have a stretched timing chain, they stumped up £2k to have it replaced, no issues.

    At what point do you call it quits on a car?

    They are on there for your reg. Always find out who makes the OE parts & go direct, did it with the clutch & flywheel kit on my ST220. Bought from LuK, part was visibly identical other than a blank space for the Ford logo, saved myself £1k.

    At what point do you call it quits on a car?

    I'd need your reg to find the prescise part which I don't have, but that's who make them yes. When you buy Volvo springs, that's who made them, they just come in a different packet.

    At what point do you call it quits on a car?

    Lejorförs make the springs for Volvo. You can get OEM C30 T5 springs from GSF for £51 a pop for the fronts & £31 a pop for the rears, you've been done for £477.

    Today i'm facing my biggest fear!

    Sounds like your experience was better than mine. I have no recollection of coming round but apparently I ripped all the tubes & stuff out then told a nurse I wanted to steal a car. I remember dreaming whilst I was under, something about a dog stuck on a roof. The point from which I can...

    What have you done to your car today?

    Came to run the ST220 up to temp as I do every 14 days over the winter whilst it's tucked away in the garage. Damn fuel pump has siezed, that's a rear subframe down & petrol tank out job, lovely.
