Chris Kane is still better although less reliable than worn out brakes Aye just as well it’s a new month on the credit card a kicker all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Car insurance renewal up by >£100 Still saved £50 on the renewal quote I was getting by a quick comparison site, but inflation creeping in across the whole market is really annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 For a long time I’ve used NFU. Don’t have to be a farmer. You get grilled on how many guns and shotgun cases you plan to carry but always found them very cheap and with really good service. They’ll even insure your black lab to drive your Land Rover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It recirculates the cabin air rather than drawing in fresh. If you’ve a problem with misting up in the winter it’ll help by recirculating the ever drying air rather than drawing in fresh moist air that needs to be dried out. Also useful when passing the honking landfill site at Polmont on the M9. Hit it adequately before and it’ll stop the methane pong from offending your nostrils. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 On the strength of an earlier recommendation for NFU I tried them myself. It seems they are indeed quite happy to insure most Land Rovers, just not a new one… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - familiar with the action, just never seen that symbol before. 6 minutes ago, Shandon Par said: Fires the nuclear weapons. Having to endure driving among the glut of Aygo/C1/other tiny car drivers in FK5 every day, this would be a far more useful option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually seems quite superfluous, as I also have this dial, in a far more accessible place on the dash, which does exactly the same thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renault Kangoo van. the one with the wee A symbol? on mine (car tbf, not a kangoo) it turns off the automatic start/stop if your engine has that. far left is presumably collision detection or something, not sure what the one on the right is, all i see is a mans head with wee ears and his arm, holding a tiny tree edit: got a bit too much time on my hands before dinner tbh but something like this, does it summon this dude when you press it?
