Roobarb Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Look at the fuel gauge! Didn’t know we had rich shitters on the site ? Or is it just appropriately broken? ? I guess keeping it in a tank in the car is as safe as keeping it under the mattress and about the same return as a bank these days. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might work like my gas gauge- disconnect the wire for immediate happiness, the needle goes straight to FULL when you switch the ignition on then.

Jon Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Was just perusing my business bank account when I noticed 3 repayment had been made to the account from my car insurer. Naturally, I think the Autoshite way and assume the worst and invent the scenario that my insurer has decided to cancel my insurance and isn't this an outrage, etc. After calling the insurer, they've informed me that they've refunded me 40% of my policy for the 12 weeks of lockdown, due to reduced risk associated with reduced usage of cars at that time. I'm only paying £12 a month TPFT with windscreen cover on a 2006 Mondeo as it is (could pay less if I bought a yearly policy, too) but I'll take back £14.something or so gladly! This is not the first time NZ car insurance has made me comment positively on here - it's so much easier to deal with when it isn't compulsory and there's no whiplash claims etc. that the insurers are liable for.

andy18s Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Scooby is in for it's yearly check over.... Starting to get a bit rough around the edges but keeps on plugging away Even though I've just had to weld up its exhaust, which was still on the original Subaru back box! I'll treat it to an oil and plug change soon enough once it cools down a little weather wise Roobarb and rainagain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
