It's an almost identical response as the middle aged red faced man who drove into the back of me had a few years back. Nothing to do with them being 'modern', young or presenting as a woman; some people are just cunts.

I had the same problem with a Subaru key/fob. Took it apart and sprayed the switch with electronics cleaner. pressed it a few times and it started working.

somewhatfoolish Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Insurance madness; an acquaintance reversed into an S-Max, smashing the rear windscreen and knackering the tailgate, no other damage to either vehicle. A simple enough repair on the face of it, but no; the repair came in at over £4k and as the wait for a replacement tailgate was 9 weeks(where was it shipped from, the moon?) meant the carhire was over £5k! mitsisigma01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that if it's someone elses fault and you are entitled to a car, you could ask for (a reasonable) payment instead and make your own arrangements. Would reasonable look like £80 a day?

New POD Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 That said my mate had a Duster under warranty and the number plate lamp went. It wasntbthe bulb. It was a problem.with the wiring. They let him drive around like that until it's MOT was due and then he refused to drive it. They gave him a suitable hire car for 8 months whilst the part was on back order. It was a length of cable.at one point. they tried to get him to agree to them getting an auto electrician to make up a new cable, but he reminded them that he suggested that to them and was told that wasn't ever allowed. Dacia will have paid more than the cost of a new car for that rental. mk2_craig and paulplom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 In aerospace, there would be a technical variance raised, because air craft on ground justifies sending a one off repair scheme. I used to do a little warranty cost analysis on parts for diggers and that would have been flagged and vigorously returned to the dealer with a note saying WTF no.

Timewaster Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 More madness, my outlander got a van door whack on the passenger side on a windy day. Company admit full liability and arrange repair and a hire car. Body shopsay it will take a week. Hire company say "Mercedes A class okay for you? I say" No, not really. 3 kids and I can barely get all my work stuff in the outlander, I need an estate or an suv or something " They gave me a 19 plate Discovery HSE 3.0tdi. List price £65k! I"ve had it 2 weeks now. I'm quite bored now of : A: Putting diesel in it. B: Explaining to customers that it is not my company car, and that they are not paying for me to drive around in it. ? People assuming I'm in charge of whatever is going on when I appear. D:My colleagues calling me a spawny bastard. E: Putting diesel in it. yes oui si, loserone, BorniteIdentity and 7 others 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's one of the things that's actually better about the new rules. Came in handy with the A4 - the bulb on the nearside light had gone and there was no way the retaining screw was going to come undone. twosmoke300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Snipes Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The peugeot crossed give-way lines whike the BMW was on the main road. Clear cut, one and done. Next! Edit: it's not possible to "plough into her" when the other car hits your door. You might say the BMW "ploughed into her path" but you'd be wrong.

eddyramrod Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Live update! I'm listening to Radio2 and Zoe Ball is playing the new Bond song. It confirms what I've believed since Casino Royale: that Daniel Craig's excellent portrayal has been hamstrung by the worst possible selection of themes that any Bond has had to suffer. In my innocence I thought they couldn't go any lower after Mad Donna's Die Another Day, but time after time I've been proved wrong. How low can they go? The answer seems to be always, Lower. louiepj, Kringle, Stevebrookman and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
