Was it the workshop / service department you had to push , or the dealer , if different? Here the dealer actively does not get involved, all service ,warranty issues go through the workshop.

What do you do when a bird craps on your car ?? Get a new bird ! :p

Because the first regulated official check is at 4 years here , I intend to do the same at 30 months even though my own visual / clean and feel inspection seems to indicate no defects. I will ask the " MOT " guy to also check all the rear multilink bushes as well, basically an early "MOT"...

You can give them a quick inspection yourself. Put on full steering lock and one can be seen on top , a torch helps . It is about 18 inches in in front of the wheel and reachable to clean and get your fingers in to feel for any obvious tears or cracking. Putting on opposite lock reveals the...

May I apologise to everyone, its my fault , yesterday to my wife's anguish I sat down and watched both the Curling and the Rugby. Should have known better ! after watching the recent Cricket tests.

Trump is obviously mental, that is an almost given fact: the sad thing is that he appears , at least publicly, to be supported by a significant portion of the population , the Republican party and of course the far if not ultra right of the political spectrum. The next elections , if they...

June and September , TT and Manx GP , Okells beer ... Kellys ice cream and Devereau's kippers , and the mountain course to traverse. Glorious. 🏍️🚋

I can't remember what I had for tea last night but can still remember all the words to the "Shake and Vac " advert. Which way to Switzerland ???? I think its straight East from here with 2-3 fast charges. ☠️

Agree, wear and tear items are ambiguous, I have looked but cannot find the 3 year limit documentation which might make things clearer. Ha, Ha Gary333 has just beat me to it , if there is a link to the official document ????? Cheers.

As a skinny poor kid born 100 years prior to my eventual birth I would probably ended up as a chimney sweeps monkey , like those in Mary Poppins but without the singing and dancing. Advice : start at the top and work down and check your rope daily.

When I lived in Bury I had one of the many terraced houses around 6m in width like many of its kind. There were a few elderly neighbours who did not have a car and some families with children of early second school age. Parking was relatively simple. As the children went through school and...

If you follow that logic .......... just wait a little longer ! Quids in. :D
