  1. some garages record the whole service for you to follow on a tablet if that kind of thing floats your boat. Customers have been known to complain about dashcam footage when they can hear techs swearing in the back ground. In this instance id say it was removed for mot and then not replaced.

  2. Just ask them to leave it on next time. See if they will comply.

     

    When I took my car to Halfords I checked my dashcam footage after. They had left it on, and it showed them being useless and abusing my car. :shrug:

    Did you complain about this? Big company that is scared of bad press. Although each branch is treated as individual, its still the halfords banner. Id say bring it to mine next time and ill look after it, but Burton is a trek from Wakefield

  3. My MOT tester used to remove them all together for the MOT sighting that they obstructed view, he did the same with air fresheners too, but he also put on the advisory that he removed items from drivers view prior to test. Most testers don't bother at all. In my exp footage just shows a close up view of the bonnet for the most part. I'd be more inclined to check before and mileage if you suspect joyriding.

  4. I'm going to put in my thoughts based on no scientific evidence whatsoever too. The air pressure over the bonnet would be affected by the shape and angle of the front bumper, something wedge shaped would put high pressure over the bonnet as less turbulent air, maybe why few gains/losses on rx-7s. But a flat fronted something would cause a lot of turbulence and a lower air pressure flowing over the bonnet than that of a wedge shaped car, maybe allowing bonnet vents to be beneficial if placed properly. But I don't actually know anything, I'm jus guessing and want to feel involved.

  5. Absolute swines. Sorry mate that's awful. With the insurance I think it changed so it depended upon whether or not your goods were on display. If they were covered and out of sight you were good, if not they wouldn't cover. As to how they'd know its hard to tell, they employ people to avoid having to pay out. But all insurers are different. With your glass I think it applies to all glass, not just front screen.

  6. I had a similar dilemma with mine, but unfortunately the tyres had seen 20 miles of road use and I didn't want soapy dirty tyres on the drivers seat. ..or them falling over with my occasional exuberant cornering. Fortunately I don't have such concerns with my work car.
