Apologies I don't get on here much to reply. Where the road closure is leads on to a roundabout. Plod stopped him as they were coming round the roundabout when he's obviously gone through the road that is closed. Given a green ticket and told to expect a £60 fine & 3 points in the post within...

It is extremely annoying. Luckily however the detour isn't THAT bad outside of peak hours so I'll know myself not to risk it. Made worse by the fact they could've just put temp lights up as it's only 1 side of the road they are doing any work on.

Hi all, legal boffin question here Friend of mine has just been stopped driving down a temp road closed road (roadworks closing road for 11 says) the road was still passable obviously. Now the signage is temporary, just the red banshee signs. No cones or anything. He's not bothered by the...

Always have a nosy on FB marketplace when I'm on holiday. Spotted an Opel Corsa b (rough as a badgers ****) 3000 euro. Mental

A query following on from this I can't seem to find bilstein dust covers for the front B4 shocks, only the rears. Can you use febi front dust covers or not?

Hi all. So got myself a new daily polo 6r 1.2 TDI, and picked up a new old stock set of Vogtland 30/50mm springs for it. While I'm there I'll probably replace the shocks as I suspect the ones on the car are the original 10 year old components. What are people's recommendations? Been advised...

No, because they are nothing but an expensive headache when they go wrong. Taste the fumes??? What do you think happened to pre 08 non DPF diesel's? Or did you overtake everyone?

Got my polo 1.2 TDI remapped and it is noticeably more responsive and overall drives better. I was in a forced position however as I needed to delete the DPF and EGR as both were faulty, and a remap, a large drill & gutting of the dpf and an EGR blanking plate later and it's running perfectly...

No it's 12, in their terms it states they act as 2 seperate policies. Ive logged in and checked and it starts on 20/08 (date I chose as was the cheapest date) and ends on 20/08/2024. Thankfully it worked and I've saved myself about £300!

There are definitely still bargains out there. I've just picked up a 2012 VW polo 1.2 TDi with FSH 110k miles. No MOT and had a running issue (turned out to be a blocked EGR valve) rather than replacing, £4 egr blanking plate and an EGR delete & DPF delete remap (£130) and she's running great. I...

Hi all. So in a bit of a conundrum. I've just purchased a newer daily (polo TDI) to replace my on its last legs seat arosa TDI. Currently insured with Sheila's wheels for the seat, haven't got insurance yet for the polo. having priced up insurance on confused, new quotes are coming in at...

Not particularly, the thing that sways me towards cheap and cheerful cars such as a Celerio or an Alto is cheap maintenance. very little to go wrong. (e.g. a clutch for an alto is around £40, compare that to my old 1.9 CDTI astra that was around £600 for clutch & DMF at the time)

Are there any genuine 60mpg cheap used petrol cars out there? Currently use an old 1.4 TDi Arosa which is returning 50mpg - surprisingly good for a 23 year old diesel. Was thinking of getting something a bit newer and comfier - Its an A/B road blaster, averaging around 16k miles/year. Use it for...

cars a 19 plate. just finished its manufacturers warranty.

Buying my next car through them, solely on the basis of them offering me a ridiculous amount for PX on my old car (over £1k more than anywhere, condition considered) and going for a Focus ST Line X for a little under 19k (I could probably find similar age/miles for a touch less, however the APR...

I'm baffled to be honest, my credit score has dramatically improved (clearscore 830/1000) over the last 18 months. Very little debt (£300 CC thats it) homeowner, married with a healthy earnings/expenses ratio. However, I tried moneysavingexpert/moneysupermarket and clearscore and the only decent...

Wife is after a new(ish) nissan micra. Test drove one at a stealers and loved it. Thought I could get a bank loan as had a 80% approval rating but was declined. Finance works out pretty expensive (13k for a 2020 Ntec sport but with finance works out at 18k over 4 years) Considering a 2 year...

Yeah definitely get the biggest semi decent panel you can reasonably afford. You won't regret it. Either a 48inch A series LG OLED or a 50-55-65 inch 4k LED. Sub 350 get a hisense 50, Top end of your budget definitely get the a1 oled.

My living room won't be massive to be honest, space is a tad limited so definitely won't have room for a sub too. I just read some reviews that suggested for the money the yamaha mentioned in OP was a great improvement. I dont want to get a cheap and nasty but likewise having just dropped 1280...

As per title Ordered a samsung qn90a and wondering if a soundbar is needed. I've never owned one and I am not an audio extraordinaire, just unsure if standard speakers will suffice Example of one I'm considering is the Yamaha Sr c20a. Thanks for your help
