I can't blame your frustration, because at the end of the day - you weren't in the wrong (were you?). You've now got to find the time and effort to arrange repairs yourself, with presumably less of a leg to stand on if it's not up to scratch. By that I mean - If you have a car repaired through...

The damage to the van appears to be from hitting a 'sharp' object, or a corner of something hard - opposed to being brushed past something. Certainly doesn't look like an obvious match to your damage or section of the panel. As a guess it looks to be the corner of a bumper that's hit it. Get...

As already been mentioned, prices don't depict the quality/reliability of a vehicle. You can have someone wanting £2500 for a 172 Cup with s**t paint, moon miles and a drivers seat with more semen content than Peter North - but that doesn't mean it's immaculate because they think it is 'for a...

My first PC (early to mid 90's) was solely used to play Chip's Challenge. Windows 3.1 I remember getting Encarta 96 new. I was 9 years old. That and some DK Human Body software, was all I used it for. Nothing else. Windows 95 was a nice upgrade. When we got a machine with Windows 98 I...

I'm looking at replacing my Windows 7 netbook but unsure what I should be buying. The main usage would be internet browsing, office applications and go pro playback/fiddling. The current thing has 2gb of ram but won't play back my go pro videos so it needs to be something powerful enough for...

They are made of aluminium so can oxidise if the paint's been scuffed.

I often call them gutter strips or roof trim

Genuine Apple £35 leather cases kept failing on my 5S within months (the port at the bottom would crack beneath the leather) so this time I shelled out a mere £8 on a Spigen case which has been ideal so far. Give Apple their due, they did replace FOC but it kept happening which got boring.

Unbelievable.

Take it to a specialist and ask for a health check. They'll be able to check the car over for you. You may even learn of some deteriorating parts that you can have refreshed now before they actually fail to keep it in good shape. A decent specialist through here will look after you.

6k is a lot of track mileage... Oil is cheap enough. I'd personally drain it every couple of thousand miles or after 4 track days or something. Will depend entirely on how the car is used between. I always laugh when I see what Mitsubishi specify for Evo engines, and then read on hatchback...

Always try Carparts4less - ECPs sister company. Often slightly cheaper. In this case only 48p with discount code but worth comparing.

I think you'll probably end up getting a refund and be out of pocket for the work you had done. Think of it as a lesson and learn from it.

Z4, S2000. Couple of cars that come to my mind that I wouldn't mind trying for that money (although I can't fit comfortably in an S2000 FML) Any particular brief that needs fulfilling, like boot space or ability to carry passengers? Whilst thinking of cars a girl may find acceptable, a Fiat...

Mine aren't too shabby at all for 7 years old an 60 odd thousand. There was a passenger side bolster repair done by an upholsterer due to a tear, but it's hardly noticeble that it's been done so if/when the drivers side eventually goes I know it's only an £80 fix. I just personally detest the...

Top of the checklist should be Recaros, IMO.

Condition of alternator. :wink:

If you're not in a rush - polish ones on eBay

Ones plastered in under seal are exempt from this IIRC.

The 205 GTI took almost 25 years to really show an increase in value. And now you can buy a half decent example for not a lot of money. An average Escort RS Turbo increased much more in recent years than a 205. The Ford badge plays a big part in this.

No chance at all.

Can I get this for my TV?

It doesn't sound so much that you can't afford it. It certainly sounds like you can't justify it. Plus you are thinking/talking about it too much. What you should do is get involved in a low cost form as Tony Hunter suggests. If you throw a couple of grand at it and realize its not for you...

I can see where you are coming from with the recaros. I make an effort to get in the car without intentionally brushing past the bolsters - and every time for a split second I think to myself 'easy does it'. I do feel the kangaroo and flat spot can be 'driven out' with a bit of thought/careful...

Sounds like a Clifford.

Give your Mrs a hammer and ask her to hit the disc from the back, hard. Sorted.

Map notifications appear to be on, and showing in the lock screen. Change the setting. You've obviously looked at a route and gone out of the app.

Yeah, I had the same. Filled a 4s 16gb, had around 20gb on my 32gb 5s (therefore would have had to get rid of some stuff) so didn't want to bother with a 16gb 6s. I've a few friends who have 16gb versions of either model and fill them easily. Yes I probably should back it up and clear the...

It's worth noting what capacity you are getting for these prices. Naturally the cheaper deals are for the 16gb version - which is you are new to the iPhone may not be sufficient enough. I don't keep music on my phone and with images and apps could easily fill a 16gb so went for the 64gb.

I believe (from what I read a while back) that as the phones get older, the battery percentage number becomes out of sync. My 5s used to die at 7% or drop from 7 to 1%. I pay £39.20 a month with Vodafone (£49 contract with 20% employee advantage discount) - on a 64gb model with just £69 down -...
