Welding tip worked

You welded your tip?

Jeez, how fast were you inserting it?

Under a hard braking event due to a blind people carrier driver, the Clio had 6 duck eggs launch into the footwell.

I held onto them along as I could but at the last minute needed 2 hands on the wheel due to bad road maintenance.

Sadly, 2 eggs didn't make it and the floor mat will need a good scrub.

Who do I contact for a proper and correct financial solution to this ?

Dave!

I think you can only claim financial reimbursement in eggceptional circumstances. This doesn't sound like one of them.

This crime against nutritious loveliness is Fowl, time to duck out before it gets too emotional.

Dave!

If you’re carrying eggs you really need to replace it with a 2CV.

R5 air con stopped working nearly 2 weeks ago in the previous heatwave. Finally went in today and it’ll be about 3 weeks to be repaired - condenser and pipework coming from France. It’s 14 months old and has 13k miles on it so it’s a bit disappointing; it’s under warranty because there is no damage from stones or whatever.

That’s frustrating isn’t it. Does it have to share work cooling batteries or other duties given it is electric?

Also, hope you get the parts before the French go on strike for August!

M3 - MOT passed last week, no advisories. But they reckon the emissions are quite high? Not sure why, it had a new airfilter and oil change over winter and I run it on SUL. 1400 miles between MOTs, so pretty low amount of miles.

Airconditioning was also regassed a few weeks ago and is pushing wonderfully chilled air into the cabin again.

968 - a fellow 968 owner who I've known for years happens to have a spare bitsa exhaust, so hopefully we can fit it this Sunday. Feels like it's taken too long to get it sorted, but then I doubt I'd be driving it much during these heatwaves.

As the M3 is just 2 Citigo engines just do what I did with my Mums car, pop some v-power in and give it a sound thrashing.

Had a horrible feeling that I'd missed the cars MOT by a huge amount this morning. Turns out I did in February, I jus forgor

Pinged the local specialist anyway as the passenger side window regulator has done what all BMW window regulators do, and carked it - and oof they ain't cheap if you avoid cheap chinese tat that'll fail in a year, so that'll be the thick end of £500 out of my pocket to sort that, all in.

Still, if the window doesn't work, how am I supposed to blast acapella versions of songs from Muses Black Holes and Revelations album out of the car, to enhance and enlighten the locals with pure art? So it has to be done.
