I pay £18 a year for a cheap and cheerful, yet comprehensive breakdown cover which includes national recovery.

The downside is that I pay a £40 excess if I call them out and they don't know how to break into an Omega.

yes i can recommend them www.rescuemycar.com, prompt and no fuss national recovery.

if you want to break into an omega just type 'how to break into a car' into google for free - 176,000,000 results, uncensored

It was quicker to wait for the spare to arrive than wade through that lot.

General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

Realised today (Sat) that I've hit a pothole or something during the week as it was pulling to the left on the motorway.

The tyres are already scrubbing, so better get it realigned sharpish!

Omega General Help / Re: price enquiry

A good alternative to GM is the Contitech belt kit from bypartsby, which many of us use.

So depending on your engine it's either £97.70 or £105.12. They also do a QH waterpump for £22, not sure what their like though. I had a Circoli water pump from these guys last year for about the same price.

In my opinion none of them needs to go and that includes SWMBO!

Just tell her the score James! You're keeping all the cars, so stop bloody nagging me woman!

Expect things to be a little frosty for a while, but she'll see sense eventually!
Ah, to quote Rodger Waters, "it,s the bravery of being out of range".

Yes and if anyone else wants relationship advice just send a PM entitled "Dear Tigger"

When you think about it, your life is like a piece of toilet paper in some respects......
