PWL Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Not that it still annoys me or anything......but car passed its MOT today. That's third MOT and servicing since Macklin Motors told me I needed to change all the brake sets on a 2 year old car that hadn't even done 9k miles - which I obviously didn't do. Shysters!

scottsdad Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 The wife is in a panic. Her car apparently isn't going into gear easily, and keeps sticking. And as she is away, our normal garage is a no go. She doesn't want to drive it home till it is fixed. Her pal is recommending a garage near her to look at it, but I have no clue if they are any good, or rip off merchants, or actual good guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the gear change like with the engine off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she were here we'd have this sorted by now. At times she imagines problems with the car that don't really exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Looking to get 6 tyres fitted (4 on one car and 2 on the other) how much should I be looking at to get a local company to fit these, balance and dispose of the old ones if I supplied the tyres? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get an online quote from blackcircles, then another from national tyres, that'll give you an idea of what £ to expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black circles were £200 more for the exact same tyres so I imagine I can get them fitted for cheaper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
