  1. That feeling when your waiting for someone to outbid you after a late night browse of an auction site...

  2. VWs are better than Skodas! The fact I spent all my money on a badge and now all I can afford is happy elephant tyres is irrelevant!

  3. Set of Michelin Cross Climates for her Civic, £155... don't mind if I do.

  4. Never ever shall I remove/reinstall a gearbox in a car again. Ever! Bloody DMFs :(

  5. I have an inexplicable hankering for an A2...

      A cult car of the future? Certainly cost too much to make for Audi to save it.

  6. 'Broke Boys', is that some sort of brokeback mountain fan club?

  7. Oil Filters - Installed hand tight and a year later they feel like they've been tightened by a silverback. Whats up with that?!

      Try to loosen when cold then retighten , then go for a run , then loosen to drop oil , heat will have made it tighter

      This was stone cold. Civic exhaust is nicely placed for burning your arms when doing a filter so I decided it was better cold :) Don't have this issue on the Fabia, filters last 3-6 months and don't get so tight, despite doing the same miles in 6months as the Civic does annually.

      eBay stepped in and refunded after silly offers and rubbish spouted by the seller.

      Good to hear, I bought a knock off Samsung mini SD (sold as class 10 but wasn't), luckily the seller must not want any issues and knew they were shoddy as I had refund straight away and didn't need to send it back.

  11. ?13.59 for 2-5 day delivery, on a birthday card?! Nah she'll do without thanks!

      Yep, done about 1000 miles on a set of four, and one is scrap now. No longer available in that pattern so 2 new ones needed.

      I had to replace one of my Nokians a couple of weeks ago, about 2K miles old and a screw in the inside block of tread meant it couldn?t be repaired ;0(

    4. DanHarper

      DanHarper

      Mine may be repairable, its near the edge but not too close. Bigger issue is that it was completely flat when I pulled over, deflated very quickly.

  13. Mr Joe 3Series, giving me the prolonged high beams for having the audacity to overtake you in the snow works better if you have cleared the snow off the lights and not just the drivers side of the windscreen. Pillock.

      Quite a few people just drive blocks of snow with a letterbox scraped bit to see out, gets my goat too

      Yep. Was in work an hour and a half early just to avoid the insanity that is Bradford snow rush hour on Friday. Still met lots of people who really should have stayed at home.

  14. My blackvue is dying :(

      can the Firmware be updated? That might help fix some issues.

      If it's 3 years old it's lasted longer than my satnav!

    4. DanHarper

      DanHarper

      Possibly longer, I bought it from BossFox and installed it in my Cordoba, possibly 2012/13 :P

      Firmware is up to date. Its definitely fubar :P

  15. 2pm in a clattery old van, stuck in snow - what do you do? Rev the *******s off it for 10mins of course!

      Bradford one is terrible wait with just a few customers. Keighley one is dead quiet and better customer service :)
