Their breakdown cover is actually really good! It's cheaper if you add it onto your policy

Flipping oil filter wrench has snapped. Oil pi**ing everywhere and had to resort to plunging a screwdriver into it. Don't you hate it when a 5 minute job turns into a 1 hour nightmare!

For the record, I've found getting a rag and a pair of mole grips and twisting it as tightly as possible, also works for extra leverage to get oil filters off without the mess :)

they shouldn't be that tight.. most should undo by hand and mole grips get the ones that are over tightened

It was mainly due to the fact the engine isn't an A-series. On my Vauxhall engine it's positioned horizontally which makes it really awkward.

Miracles will never cease to amaze me... walk into an autofactors shop, ask for bits for a mini and get the reply.. Yes we've got them in stock!!!

Cool! I liked the Maestro. And a Maestro with ice cream is just the business. I'd like to run an ice cream van in the summer, and then in the winter have pastry cones filled with mash and a sausage for a flake. Covered in gravy sauce and sage and onion sprinkles. I'm going on Dragon's Den ...

So annoying when an ebay purchase arrives and the muppet selling it hasn't wrapped it properly and is sticking out of the packaging and no bubble wrap!!!!

Well and truly! Unfortunately though, this isn't a Pun this time. I have had to leave the car at a mates house while i try and sort something out. and my back hurts too :(

Can't fault the supplier though. They are sending out the dearer correct ones for no extra charge and collecting the wrong ones at the same time. Should be back together and on the road tomorrow after i have got a wishbone for it

Since I had my car accident last year, I have been inundated with calls to claim compo. I don't want to, I didn't suffer any injuries and the other driver admitted full liability. In the past week I have spoken to them 4 times and each time I have drawn out the conversation and really played about with them and then told them I'm not interested. Liam at Total Claims Direct a very unhappy little ambulance chaser this morning :-)

Was surprised how rude Liam was. Told me I was a "waste of space" for wasting his time! Nasty little sod. I shall quite happily keep wasting it though. I'm quite angry that this persistence is responsible for hiking up my insurance premiums.

just tell them to hold on put the phone on the table and waste their time

Done that to "answer the door". They wait about 30 seconds then hang up. And phone you straight back.
