I think the barrel lock needs a proper fix , rather than the fix from last time. Luckily I got the full part from GoS when the barrel came out a couple of months ago. I didn't use it as I had also bought the small part that had come away from barrel and it did the job.
I took the Numax battery back on Monday. No matter what the motor factor's computer says , Numax do not fit
The Numax is massively out. I'll look at measurements in a bit but it was visibly too big on opening the box.I went off measurements on the website
RAC renewal came through yesterday. HOW MUCH I screamed , gone up about 30%. Been with them over 16 years and always been happy . Got a quote like for like from AA and a lot cheaper. Just phoned RAC to cancel and give the being a pensioner sob story. Immediately they dropped the renewal to cheaper than AA's and many apologies given. Got a big grin on my face once again
I might try them next year. When at home in Narnia , we only have one recovery agent, who responds for all,companies. So makes no difference who I am with. The AA went up around 100% this year, thieving gits, which why I went to RAC. RAC are a substandard rescue company. I nearly rejoined AA yesterday due to RAC handling of breakdown.
I think its horses for courses as they say. I left AA to go to RAC for same reason.
I'm with them, 3 yrs now I think. Had to use them for the first time a couple of weeks back, I posted about my experience on here somewhere. I felt they didn't have many recovery agents, 3hrs until they got to me and a £25 excess has to be paid as the p38 is over 20yrs old or summut.
Recovery is included in my insurance here in France but it only covers to a suitable garage.
that would be 'home', then
No chance! Only ever had to use the service once, they took the car to the nearest dealer. They did say they would take it home, some 90 miles, if I paid the mileage. I had no time to mess around as I was on route for the ferry and the insurance covered provision of a hire car.
i'll just have to order another.. 'right' one this time!
Can you stick it in the boot for a second battery optioni'll just have to order another.. 'right' one this time!
anybody want a brand new size 020 battery?
theres an idea... i dont know the sizes. its 4cm longer than the 019
I usually get a good price with AA. The gold membership, plus associate discount, plus asking 'can you do better please',usually meant a close to new member price. But this year they were not from budging from over £300. And that was supposedly including my associate discount. Thieving
does it all fit back together so you can put the boot floor cover back in place? or is it too tall?
3hrs doesn't sound bad. RAC said 4hrs plus on Tuesday. With all windows open in -3° freezing fog. If it wasn't for the fact I was next to Pets at Home, the ambulance would have been called before they arrived.
