    Question about claiming for accident

    She's either trying to pull a fast one, or is a massive idiot and has gone to a body shop, mentioned the 'I' word and they've pulled their own pants down whilst reaching for the bubbly... Suggest to her you get a second (or third!!) quote, or failing that her insurance will claim off yours...

    Ant (scrooge), in Tilbury. Drop him a PM and see what he can do for you. Failing that, Two-Techs in Dartford ? How far do you think you could get...?

    Loud Bang?

    Was it raining/cold/snowing between parking and attempting to move off ? Sticky pads I bet. Wouldn't worry ! However for a precaution, check there's meat left on the pads and if you can, jack it up, handbrake off and ensure the calliper isn't sticky/fubard by rotating the wheel.

    Insurance! How much do you pay?

    Without wishing to sound like a bore, there's about 9,000,000,000 threads on this already, there's an insurance section on here and this is about as useful as comparing the colour of your bedroom ceiling. Sorry...

    Different springs

    You want a bit of rake (nose down) to help the handling anyway. They look stupid flat...!

    Started to clean my filthy Turinis- advice needed

    Depending how bad they are, and how arsed you can be .. clean them, iron-x them then maybe a quick rub down with some polish you have. Even a going over with SRP from halfrauds won't hurt. Going over them with C5 will seal them for years, so you've nothing to worry about there.

    Started to clean my filthy Turinis- advice needed

    I suggest you read the guides on here a little more often... IronX gets rid of iron .. metal contamination in the paint - on wheels, 99% of it is going to be from the brake pads/discs. It's not for 'dirt'. Sealing wheels / paint is your LSP (last step protection) Wax is a LSP...

    2012 Macbook pro running hot etc...

    Take the batt out and run it off power cord only .. (used to do this all the time with mine to save the batt cycles). If the problem goes away, i'd suggest you complain to the "genius" brigade that the battery is duff.

    2012 Macbook pro running hot etc...

    iStat worth a download too.. you can check fans are working etc. Doesn't sound right !! If the battery is taking time to recharge, take it back. Sounds borked.

    Windscreen wash marks

    Water is very hard in the SE of England... that'll be most of your problem. Correct and seal the paintwork... that'll help anyway.

    Tyres pressures 185/55/15

    LMAO. Its telling you that pressure for a reason. Over-inflation will lead to less tread on the road and wearing in the middle... possibly blow outs as they could potentially get too warm. Put them as they are supposed to be and leave it alone :S

    First Play with New Toys

    Not very foamy, Charles ;) Should look like shaving foam and stick/dwell for a while... More practice needed ! Approx 1" of foam then about 3/4 full of warm water and see how you get on. Wind the throttle/mixer screw on top of the lance all the way in, then come back 1/2 a turn and adjust...
