Interior Door Handle Snapped
For anybody that has had a broken inner door handle a quick question please:- Do you have the automatic door locking system on and/or do you lock the doors from the inside when driving? Thanks. AG Falco

Thoughts on using carwow or similar to buy discounted new Fabia,
Ordered a new car in late July of this year from a ( VW & Skoda ) main dealer. I knew exactly what I wanted so did a Carwow quote first, and took it with me to MY preferred car dealer. ( Not the Carwow preferred dealer. ) I told them the car and the factory extras I wanted and said can you match this Carwow price. They said NO, but could do a bit better. 😀 If the dealer is honouring a Carwow quote then I would expect some commission going from the dealer to Carwow. Took less than an hour from entering the showroom to ordering and leaving. I am not selling / trading in anything so was not stitched up there. Was told to expect delivery in December 2023. Emailed two weeks ago with a build week 37 of this year. 😮 So, do your homework first, go at a quiet time and ask the question. Thanks. AG Falco

Wheel Balancing - Is it always necessary?
You paid Blackcircles to get the wheels balanced not the tyre fitter, so the refund should come from them. Did you tell them? ( Blackcircles that is ) The tyre fitter will get very little money for fitting a tyre from Blackcircles. It is almost not worth doing work for them. Thanks. AG Falco

Brake discs/pads options
My 2009 Fiat Panda at 133 K miles is still on its original rear brake shoes! Not enough handbrake turns. 😄 Thanks. AG Falco

Brake discs/pads options
If you want your brakes to last then:- Remove, clean, relubricate and refit yearly in the autumn. My 2016 Fabia III is at 75K miles and brakes are just over half worn with no lamination on the disks. Thanks. AG Falco

Wheel alignment issues?
Top half is showing the before figures. Bottom half is showing the after figures. The two in red are for O-S-F Camber and O-S-F Caster. Both are not adjustable but if you look at the correct settings and what you have they are:- The correct settings are the small figures at each end of the ( Red ) parts. In a perfect world the car wants to have setting somewhere in between these figures. Front Camber is out by 0 Degrees and 1 Minute. 1 Minute is 1/60th of a degree. This is not worth worrying about. 1 degree is 1/360th of a circle. Front Caster is out by 0 Degrees and 6 Minutes. 6 Minutes is 1/10th of a degree. This is not worth worrying about. 1 degree is 1/360th of a circle. Find a child with a green felt tip pen and ask them to change the two in red bits to green. Job Done. Thanks. AG Falco

List of EV Tariff for 2.5p/mile motoring
Same here. Signed up for 3 year fixed rated in Late September 21. Deal went from their website within 7 days. Presently paying EDF less than they pay for gas and electricity. They paid me more than I paid them in January this year. Refund for less use and government subsidy. Trying to build up a large credit now due to lower use so when the fixed tariff ends it won't be a big shock. Had to have smart meters fitted to get the tariff but these don't work so I have to supply the meter readings. Thanks. AG Falco

Wheel nut caps
The normal bolt covers will be a tight fit to stop them coming of at speed. Do you have the bolt cover puller tool? Look for part number 321 601 173, but check the colour you order. Yes you have to older type of Lockers. Newer type are bigger and are like these:- So I think you have been sent these as above. HTH. Thanks. AG Falco
