  1. Gained a customer recently, she booked a 21 plate Aygo in for a clutch (!?!) because my quote was less than half the main dealers price - they'd just done the first mot, charged her £400 for front pads and a handbrake adjustment and told her it needs a clutch. Found myself looking at a 7000 mile car with a very high pedal. Drove it and found the bite right at the top so... Looks like I found the only 2021 car where some shit can wind the manual cable adjustment up to con someone into getting a clutch job. Set the adjustment to spec, checked pedal, charged her £40 and sent the clutch back.
  2. I've always found VW have the largest reserve amount after it says it's empty, there's often still over a gallon remaining in the tank.
  3. I think she's probably right, I'm surprised the land registry accepts applications that aren't hand written on vellum! For example, if you use a conveyancer you can prove your identity by showing them your photo id/passport. If you don't, you need your passport, a passport photo, form ID1 and get said form signed by a conveyancer.
  4. Yeah definitely angel dust influenced.
  5. Was staring at this print in a hospital when I realised there's a car in the middle of the picture I have no clue about. It's the LHD thing between the consul and the Daimler bus.
  6. Actual grin - went to Beamish museum yesterday for the first time in ages and found in one of the houses a playable, in tune piano that didn't have a "DO NOT TOUCH" sign so I sat down and played it.
  7. Someone did the "Welcome to Hebburn" sign once with "where love comes first" which I thought was quite good.
  8. Ffs I wonder about some people.
  9. Rusty and siezed, rounded or snapped.
