General Car Chat / Warranty work on the Mexican tomorrow.
« on: 03 April 2024, 12:01:05 »
Nothing serious.
The plastic grill/grille in the front bumper has cracked and one of the cheap flimsy mounting attachments has broken off. They will be replacing two plastic parts at no cost to me.
Also, while the car is at BMW Boston I will be taking an extended test drive in a late 2023 M5 Competition with just 664 miles under it's wheels being sold at £35000 below its original invoice price. They have offered me an excellent P/X deal in for my car. Hmmm.
It'll be a fun few hours regardless.

Our internet connection has always been poor.
It is presently run through a Huawei router.
Anyway, the name Starlink has come up as an alternative.
Anyone with experience of Starlink?....I know it's not cheap but if it works I don't mind.

General Discussion Area / Consumer rights after warranty has expired
« on: 22 March 2024, 18:25:33 »
Lenovo laptop.
6 months out of warranty.....but with what I believe to be a manufacturing defect or design fault that is well known and documented.
I seem to remember Martin Lewis commenting on free repair or replacement after the warranty period has ended.
Lenovo are offering a 'billable repair' which will probably cost more than a new laptop.

General Car Chat / Signum ATF.
« on: 05 March 2024, 18:49:58 »
Can members who know more than me post a link for the correct ATF (and amount required) for a 2007 2.8T.
The job itself does not look that difficult.
Mrs Opti says drop it at WBAC and run.

General Car Chat / Hey STMO

How is the search for a new car going?
You made us all jealous by posting about potential new motors in the form of a Honda and Mondeo.
However, now the trail seems to have gone cold. The car jungle drums have ceased and all is quiet.
Are you still looking?

Can this 'kid' really only be 16 years old?
His girlfriend is 21 and he looks about 35.
Surely somebody is taking the piss here.

Time for TB to rid the forum of those wanky santa thingies.

General Car Chat / Petrol consumption.
« on: 22 December 2023, 15:58:12 »
TB mentioned in a recent post that he needed a 'planet killing soot chucker' because he couldn't make a reasonably powerful petrol car achieve double figures.
Well, I don't drive like Tunnie or the scouse whippet owner, so I reckon these figures are pretty reasonable, with 40 MPG possible on a long run.
I can remember an elderly aunt boasting that her Morris Minor would do 'almost' 40 MPG if she didn't see the dark side of 35 MPH.

First Trump banned then Vivek Ramaswamy pulls out.
US politics is even more of a basket case than that in the UK.
