Wife's astra went into Vx for a service yesterday, £249.

Couldn't you have done it for her with 20% family discount ?  ;D
And get my hands dirty do some work? Behave yourself.

 :-X ::)

Sorry, Al, it's past banter and abuse now. It's more pity.  ;D

Get a blue badge to deal with the council ones :-X

Difficult these days even if you have a disability.  My condition is covered by the disability act but as I can walk 200m unaided I dont qualify for a blue badge.  Admittedly I dont need it all the time, just when I need to rush to the bathroom without worrying about getting a ticket.

I’m sure you’re aware but you need to keep an eye on the situation.

Regularly.  No change to my local authority qualification criteria, yet.

It should be coming Nationwide soon... Hopefully  ::)

Regarding Tunnie getting a haircut - remember that his employer has an on site barber, so they positively encourage people to get their hair cut during work hours. ;)
So do we if you work in webbed finger land (lazydocker country).  However, the "barbers" there would make me feel uncomfortable if they started running their 6 fingers through my hair.

Stop exaggerating!

It’s Norfolk folk who have 6 fingers :D ;D

Omega General Help / Re: LPG in our omega

Having an estate makes it easier as you can put the tank in the spare wheel well  ;)

Although to get a decent sized tank in there you have to do a little bit more than just drop it in ;)

To answer the OP’s question. My first Omega did around 75k trouble free miles, my second did about 70k and was running fine when Bambi jumped out ::)

I’ll be very surprised if they don’t have a clause in the contract to confirm their right to change terms with 90 days notice  :-X

As for legality... It’s probably legal, even though unethical, but perhaps it is being put in place for repeat offenders

When I first read the title (without my glasses) I thought this thread was a pop at me ::)

£350 sounds like a full fat dealer price even for an AGM battery. I would have thought a Varta or Bosch equivalent is about half that.
ECP reckon this is about £70 discount:

Silly money for a battery. :-\

Yet here you can get the same spec for £87 or slightly more :-X ::)

I’m sure Lord Opti can help... We all know he’s a closet “canal boat fuel” fan :-X :D

Why am I not surprised to see something like this in the Red Tops?

NFN I suppose :-X ::)

We were totally screwed from the day the referendum was wonn by lies and deceit.  ::)

May has done the best she could get... Could Corbin or Boris the Buffoon have done any better? I seriously doubt either of them could negotiate a party in a brewery :-X

Like many, I’m fed up with the scaremongering BS and just want it over with. Revoking Article 50 will be as bad or worse than any deal/no deal Brexit as the EU will recognise that they still have the upper hand  ;)

Stock V70 is also available with AWD, but rare  :y

Not really, as long as you’re willing to travel there are plenty of XC70s - mostly in Scotland  ;)

I think Al means V70's like this, the XC70 is a different beastie.  ;)

Ahh. Essentially the same car though, just the XC version has more rugged looking bumpers etc

As is always the case, they’ve mostly been to the moon and back at least once ::)
