General Discussion Area / Dodgy or not?

« on: 16 May 2015, 20:54:48 »

Driving along today and a car parked on the roadside suddenly pulled out no indication soi couldn't avoid hitting it
Exchanged name address phone numbers but on asking his insurance details he couldn't remember who he was with
Fair enough
I'm no expert but it looks like my car need a bumper, bonnet and possibly a wing

Get a phone call of the guy 1/2 hour later asking if we could settle without going through insurance and he would pay for my car to be fixed
1/2 passes again and I get a text saying he would pay for my repairs AND give me a grand as well
Hahaha
What do you reckon?

Omega General Help / what do you think?

« on: 13 May 2015, 18:14:51 »

Had new timing belt,water pump and kit fitted last month
There is now a squealing sound just started
Took alternator belt off and noise stopped so that tells me its NOT the new timing belt tensioner
Just changed alternator pulley/tensioner and noise is still there
Does this mean its the actual alternator? I'm thinking so
What do you think?

General Discussion Area / who has right of way?

« on: 15 April 2015, 22:49:32 »

Your on the motorway and your in the fast lane you overtake a car in the middle lane
and indicate to pull into the said middle lane
At the same time
A car in the slow lane needs to overtake the car in front of him so also indicates to pull into the middle lane
hence going into the same space you are
Who has right of way?
Anyone/No one?
