General Car Chat / Re: Water in Astra J Fastback Boot, year 2010
« on: Yesterday at 18:46:14 »
The spare wheel well used to become a pond in my Mondeo hatch as well, and I found that behind the rear bumper there are two vents on each rear quarter where the bumper wraps around and the seals had failed on both, letting water into the boot.
Removed the bumper, refitted and resealed the vents with silicone, and that sorted the problem.
You may or may not have a similar issue, but worth finding and checking the vents are watertight.

I fervently hope that come the General Election people will wake up to the catastrophe that a Sir Starmer Labour Govt will be, and they actually turn out to vote to keep idiots like Streeting firmly on the opposition benches.

Obviously there's more to this than meets the eye.
Maybe the iPhone was solid gold encrusted with diamonds?
Or maybe he's a deviant perv and had 'up skirted' her in the gym?

General Car Chat / Re: Omega seat swap - questions
« on: 02 May 2024, 16:54:46 »It was when the Omega was being repaired following being reversed into in traffic. Think it was a 1.8tdci Edge, possibly '58 plate.
Horrendous build quality from shit materials.
The '22 Mustang I had a couple of weeks ago felt like a reskin of the 2005 one and the facelift '24 one I had a couple of days ago was the same except with better screens.
Everything feels like shit after the mighty Omega!

« on: 02 May 2024, 11:36:32 »Are you moving to Canada thenAfter you reach a 'certain age', they hammer you again.Relatively inexpensive insurance quotes above.
Being an old bastard can be a good thing at times.
Can't wait until I'm 34 and can get cheap insurance!
By the time I get to that stage they'll probably be routinely euthanising people of a 'certain age' so I won't have to worry about my car insurance.
No but our shiny new progressive Labour Govt will bring it in, and by the time I get to a certain age they'll be offering euthanasia as a cure for the common cold or anything that makes you a mild inconvenience.

« on: 02 May 2024, 11:16:01 »My Mondeo Titanium X's drivers seat is a bit flat as well.It wasn't me
I've always assumed that it was a cab before I bought it, as although it had a reasonable mileage, a few of the switches like the AC, Hazards and the heated seats, were worn, so I think it had a fat bastard sat in it for hours going nowhere very far.
Had one briefly as a temporary replacement... Hateful bloody thing.
Can't imagine my Mondeo Titanium X is much different to an equivalent Insignia?

I've lived abroad for more than 2 years a couple of times, and a call to the insurers when I got back to explain the circumstances sorted the NCB quickly and without hassle both times.

This relentless effing shitty cold wet weather! 
It's May tomorrow and it's about time we had a bit of Global Warming/Heating/Boiling or whatever they call it this week!

Someone who wants something a bit quirky?
There are currently 10 bidders. If you want something with a bit more ooomph, how about this?
You'd need deeper pockets tho...
