Try carpartsinmotion on ebay. there is a 15% offer on code TAKE15. They are a west country company and all the parts I've had from them are genuine so far.
I also enjoy the chase, I just hate the fact that I'm forced to do it every year, and the days of getting an even better deal than last year seem to have gone.
I remember once, when I was in my 50's Saga gave me an extra £200 off their quote if they could give me a quote on my house insurance...
Passed the MOT. WHOOHOO!!!
Only 2 advisories, wear on front discs and slight deterioration on back brake hoses.
Car has self repaired last years advisories. Damn clever these Mercs.
And if you get almost to the end of a quote without g
etting a firm offer, revisit later and the quote will have gone up. They assume that as you've come back you can't get a decent quote elsewhere and think they have you over a barrel. Especially true for holiday insurance in my experience.
Got my renewal quote from AA insurance.Increased by £200.
After lots of surfing only quote that was lower was RAC.
Rang AA, after lots of BS they gave me a new lower quote. When I told them that this was still not good enough they said "hang on a minute, we'll try another system" WTF???
Came...
We've had ours for nearly 8 years and we love it.
Found out about the possible problems with the M271 engine after purchase and was worried. I always start the car from cold with the radio off listening for the dreaded chain rattle, but she is always as smooth as silk. I change the oil...
I do this too. Reminded me mine need doing again. I buy the cheap silicon spray from lidle/aldi and give all the rubbers loads. Can stop the groaning from old rubber bushes too.
On some older models you can adjust the brightness by turning the reset knob at the side of the display.
Mine is easy to read some days and not on others. I don't think that it's worth the effort to change the display,especially if you have big hands and could make it worse.
Did jinx it. First hot day, no air con.
Off to ATS clutching my groupon voucher.
No apparent leaks, hopefully its just lost some gas over the years. There was still pressure in the system. Now regassed and as cold as.
Looks like you've got the same ingrained sand that I finally got around to cleaning out of all the groves/rubbers on mine yesterday. When did we start getting Sahara sand in April?
Had mine nearly 8 years. AC always on, always works. Every year I look out for the half price regas on groupon (ATS I Think), but never bother. Probably jinxed myself now & will need it this year.
