The grumpy thread

The main whingee has enough clout here to ensure it will never return. That’s neo liberalism for you. He’s Won. Like it or lump it.

No single member should have that level of influence. I fail to see any grounds for a legitimate complaint. If I have enough evidence I'll happily name and shame.

Tirelessly trying to dig people out with nonsense like that, as well as keeping on re-opening this 'debate' is just going to cause more arguments. You (of course) know this, so you just carry on. I wish all I had to worry about was two threads being removed off the entire internet (one of which a message was sent to the OP who didn't have a problem with it being gone). I honestly hate to say this, but to anyone who wants to moan there isn't any politics/tits/freedom of speech on here is quite welcome to start their own forum, invite everyone to join and crack on. This, of course, includes myself when the day comes I go.

Eurocarparts. That's of the first order.

Ordered a PAS pump for the XC70. Made sure it had the correct unions. Drove in 20 miles have a peek in the box to double check the pulley flange is broken off reorder for this morning 20 mile drive, new one in the box check pulley booked.

Just ordered one from local motor factors sadly 30 quid more but bet it's right

 

They seem to be getting worse - choice of two fuel filters for my brothers Navara - took both. Both wrong. Mouthbreather says they're right despite showing him picture of the damn thing.

Ecp look like they may be going down. Who will fuck our orders up then?!

Wirral still has a branch of Motorworld so we're still sorted for fucked up orders.

I'll have to get you to ship down my parts then when I order a wheel bearing for a Toyota avensis and actually get a thermostat for a horsey horseless

Looking forward to the closing down sale, not feeling too good for the poor sods who might end up jobless. 

 

Cutting staff rather than improving their service and being a market leader. Brilliant.  :roll:

It's never great for the poor buggers who are left out in the cold but provided the head honcho is ok it's all good. A case of I'm alright,screw you.

That’s the end of my ratty Nexia.

 

Anyone need any parts off it, before I weigh it in?

The Cactus was supposed to give me an easy life.

 

I parked it at work Wednesday and only just collected it. I don't think this is condensation.

 

EDIT: It is condensation and a known fault. But can I be arsed to take it in?

Oh crap, hope you aren't too shaken up, aren't the insurance going to want to see it to prove you aren't responsible for the whiplash claims?

What a shame, can’t be many of them left. Hope you are all ok.

This - I wouldn’t be too hasty to bridge it. It’s almost fixable but where would you find panels?

Hi,

 

Sorry but CBA to read any of the backstory about this (yet again) but there are   "  96 user(s) are browsing this forum " and probably only a few going on and on and on and on (yet again)   so if you want to kick them out please have my support.  I'm off to try a 6 pound bottle of k seal in a k series engine before the scrappy arrives.

4 hrs A&E cos I lumped my head (& existing meds etc). I’m ok. Sore, bumpy, stiff neck, cuts/ scratches etc. Nowt serious

 

I’ll be claiming off the twonk who hit me. I saw it coming and steered into a bollard, so I’ve damaged no one/ nothing. They’ll pay out pennies so I’m not keeping it around, waiting.

 

It might indeed repair, tailgate and bumper at the rear. Wing, light and a light hammering, at the front.

 

But where are the parts, and is it worth it? Engines a heavy breather, car is tired way beyond its years. I’ve a much better Nexia saloon doing nowt, and 4 Esperos if I feel the need to Daewoo.

 

‘‘Tis a pity. Move on..

There's a difference between offended and annoyed.

Thank f*ck somebody is still aware that offence is not the only negative emotion - I was beginning to have my doubts.

What an absolute bollocks, Nigel.

 

Keep an eye on yourself over the next 48 hours or so.

I've noticed that, but I'm not sure it's necessarily a question just of political views.  I think it may be just that those on the left tend on average to be younger than those on the right, and thus more inclined to see the world in black and white.

 

 

Like the old saying "I wish I knew as much as I did when I was 18".

That's a bit of a bump Mr B. Hopefully not to hurt

How can a walking clothes-hanger become a Dame, it must debase it for great actresses like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith.

It’s all a bit of a joke anyway. The best ones this year were the medics and police etc responding to the terrors attacks.

Utter shit on the Daewoo. (without trying to sound like a twat) the damage on it is now why I leave a too big a gap in traffic, at lights so if I am hit from behind I don't loose the front too.

 

As someone says though it looks very fixable if the lasts can be got or even beaten back into place, we'll OK not the boot door.

 

Or why not a a group save like on that Visa?

Glad you're ok chap.

 

Parts probably the biggest issue? Availability rather than price?
