All the staff were amazing, was explained it all and given options before hand, Opted for the gas/air, Procedure no where near as bad as I thought it might have been.

If it's still the same as when I had it done, they request that you hang about for a while afterwards if you opted for anaesthetic. I opted for the quick exit option. 

Thanks for torque info and other tips, too. Let,s see how it works.

All clear as I hoped it would, Talking to the Doctor originally I thought she was going a bit OTT, but as every one suggests we not getting any younger, but the results gave peace of mind.

Honestly I doubt it, I suspect it's all about the money. Also, my lardy EV is only about 50kg heavier than a diesel x5. Which isn't really a material amount at those kind of weights.

Am booked into hospital for a camera down my neck in the morning because doctor has concerns from a chat we had, was booked in at 8am,  so whilst on the phone to ask about something to them and it seems they had changed my appointment and no one has bothered telling me.

Not nice, Skruntie. I've endured two such procedures of this type. The gag reflex is hard to ignore.

No sedation for me.

Could be worse Skruntie. Could have been up your Chinese eye or the other side.    Joking aside, hope it all turns out well for you. 

Had the camera up the trouser snake a few years ago.

Yes, but that wasn't a medical procedure, that was a trip to Thailand....

Yes.....Old Tigger needs to be sure he can tell the difference between 'the two different types of lady' in Thailand.

And ShitFit will know how to get extra out of said corporate.  For example, claiming this tyre was unrepairable, so have to fit a new one.  They probably make a few more quid on the tyre than they do on a puncture repair.

Funny you should say that, when I eveballed it, it certainly looked repairable, but apparently it was not  .

I wonder if they're more cautious about repairing EV tyres due to the weight of the car? 

Green machines!

Got to hand it to them though, they had the correct one in stock, and looking around the place they carry more tyres on the shelves than probably every other tyre place round here put together. Again, I wonder if this is something to do with their corporate gig...

I would urge the OP to carry a spare sensor in the boot, along with the torx socket (E8?)!

I used to do that & when the CSS failed on my Omega I presented the recovery driver (there was snow on the ground & I had a caravan attached to the back of the car) with a the boxed sensor & told him the fault! His reply was ... 'no one has ever done that before!'
