Re: That there London

I did the Bermondsey beer mile a couple of weeks ago, that was pretty decent.

Just sooooooooo much traffic everywhere.

Re: The Music Thread

Anyone got any decent gigs lined up to go see the end of this year?

I'm off to see Elvana at Leeds O2 academy at the end of this month, who are supposed to be pretty decent and good fun by the sound of it.

Oh and Madness in the big arena in December, thats for the boy (9 years old) as they're his ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Yeah I'd imagine the Eco ones might make a difference, but having said that, my Kuga PHEV came on Conti Eco Contact and is now on Premium Contacts and that's made no difference either, other than it actually has some wet grip now :lol:

Re: Your fleet running reports




My wife asked about winter tyres for the R5. I suspect the eco tyres wouldn’t be too great in snow and ice. But the car is too new for used alloys to be available on eBay yet.
Fortunately I was first to reply to a chap on a Facebook group who has replaced his wheels with aftermarket ones. So ...

Re: Your fleet running reports


First failure of the Golf.

Charging flap actuator has stopped actuating.

Email to the dealer, booked in for the day after, currently being served coffee for the morning whilst it's fitted.

Can't argue at that service, a lot to be said for having a newer, warrantied car, CBA with the messing ...

I'd just get the train Saturday morning, have a night out, cheap hotel, then pick car up Sunday and drive back.

Win win.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Autoelectro have always been my go to for recon alternators.

They've been going since the 80s and I've never had a problem with them, been buying off them for 20 years.

Re: Redundancy

Looks like we have a Business Analyst role, Operational Risk Lead role, and some Underwriting Vacancies.

I can get details from someone and email you it if interested, not sure where they will be based.

They're massive fvcking cowboys.

Ive seen with my own eyes 120k of motorhome being rocked around on some kind of fork lift.

Went in for a water damage. Ingested only.

Ended up cat c, engine failure was literally the only issue prior to it arriving.

Damage on every bolt on panel appeared for some ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Once it's at copart it will be damaged, all cars are moved around on forklifts , regardless of state, damage, value etcs.

Check underneath very carefully as I've seen countless cars with ripped out fuel lines, brake pipes, HV cables, damaged batteries etcs.

About as much finesse as toddler with a ...

Re: Test drive report

I'd love one of those A110s, I think they're a superb package.

Not sure what colour I'd go for though, I love the proper blue ones, but I followed a grey one with a big spoiler to Whitby earlier and it looked equally excellent.

Re: Your fleet running reports

I'd buy a 1.0 Ecoboost, if it had a proper documented service history, 100%.

It's not a bad engine, it just needs care more than most normal people would give it.

My XF never put a foot wrong engine wise, lots of stories about snapped crankshafts, spun main bearings etcs.

Its luck of the draw ...
