  1. Sounds like the pads sticking to the discs after raining or washing to me.
  2. I just got the first one. And yes, it is as clever as everyone has already said and I feel like a mong 'cos it took me so long to get
  3. So much better now you've matched the front bumper to the back, looks excellent mate
  4. Zackerly. Do the best you can, but you cannot take into account every eejit in the world. Tbh, I tend to park near nice cars too, working on the basis they're as careful as me. They may not realise that when I park next to them in the truck, but I;m actually doing them a favour.
  5. Silly question, but what does the Axa paperwork actually say? Check the details out on that (ignore whatever Pru are saying and even Axa over the phone), because that's the contract you're signing up to. If you have any questions, get the answers in writing from Axa.
  6. It was written off, I assume he's bought the car back. If you add up the cost of replacing all the broken bits + labour it'll easily come to far more than the cost of a new car.
  7. Crazy. I don't understand that at all, it's only a car! How do you manage driving on the roads, all those crazy madmen speeding past you at 30mph must be awful!
  8. Ouch! Glad to see you're okay, could've been really nasty.
  9. I used it a couple of weeks back, but I didn't use it all and the bottle is still fine.
  10. Wait, what? So if there was no end space you'd just turn around and go home?
  11. We're with Pru Health at work, and our policy is excellent. It might not be the cheapest, but they certainly cover everything and are a pleasure to deal with over the phone. They're who I claimed through when I had my back operation last year, and that was as smooth as I could've hoped for.
  12. Must be you, my bottle was fine
  13. I was told that all those yellow flowers in the fields in the summer were mustard plants. It wasn't until I was 23 when I asked my girlfriend at the time why she was allergic to mustard plants that I finally discovered they were rapeseed. I argued the toss in the car all the way home until I could google it and discovered the sad truth that I'd been lied to by my parents
  14. Need? Never. Nice to have? When you've done all the breathing mods you intend to do (exhaust, intake, plenum etc).
  15. Of course they can. Anyone can request your details from the DVLA assuming they have a good reason: How else do the private ticketing companies get your details?
  16. Not a problem at all, as long as you handle it in the right way. Correct way is for the remaining finance to be paid off over the phone by the purchaser with the owner making the initial call, that is then followed up immediately by a confirmation email from the finance company confirming that they consider the debt settled and have no further interest in the vehicle. Purchaser can then take the car knowing the car is clean, and the ex-owner is sure that the money was legit and the finance company won't come chasing.
  17. £20 for a quality form of photo ID that lasts you for 10 years? That would seem to be a bit of a bargain to me. Can tell where you're from
  18. Who on earth told you that? They don't have to honour anything if you've not paid them a penny.

    Will they be ok?

    I wouldn't bother upgrading my brakes just for 15mins at Japfest Better off investing in new mirrors, keep an eye out for all the numpties that will be on track with you! I've tracked on stock brakes, they're fine. If the pedal starts to go long, just back off your braking a tad.

    am i mad

    It's a 300bhp sports coupe. It has plenty enough power.
  21. I may not agree with you, but fair play for your man maths!
  22. I had decent phone coverage everywhere, just very little data coverage. You'll be fine if you need to make a phonecall, less so if you want to check out film trailers on the go.
