Not sure if all would change over just topping it up. Quick check on Halfords and they will only change on a major service, top up on full service. best to ask the garage first.

They sent me a video during a service of a suspension spring falling off the rear of the car. I thought it was going to be the most expensive video I'd received until they sent another text telling me it was under warranty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomCat Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Has anyone ever got their MOT done by the council? Never considered this was even a thing till looking online. Surely less likely to get usual garage BS as they can't do repairs but you can bring car back within 10 days if some are required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Had to get a new wheel bearing last week - there's now a high pitched sound coming from the back of the car, and the noise is worse when reversing. There are no girls tied up in the boot, so it's not that (this time) - any c**t have any idea as to what could be causing the noise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I want to buy something that is a little higher in the driver's view than say a Fiesta, but nowhere near as expensive as a Land Rover or such like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renault Kadjar. My father in law has one and your quite high up in them. Only downside is they’re Renault’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a Vauxhall Mokka when we were on holiday in Spain last time and it was a wee bit higher up. I really liked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Glasgow, they have to advertise that they can MOT the public's cars as it's part of having the mot licence. Reality is you won't get an appointment as they are fully booked with their own vehicles and taxis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 My ancient astra is hanging on by a thread, theres a hideous rattle in the gearbox which is likely release bearing but it's done 140k on all original clutch etc and its nor had an easy life by any stretch of imagination. Also the frontt struts are pissing out fluid and it's generally run down and ready to meet its maker. Anyone got experience of a focus 1.6 diesel around a 13 to 14 plate. Aside from the usual diesel issues like clutch flywheel and injectors anything else to look out for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just traded in my citeron Picasso for a 3008. Both have higher drivers view. As does the 2008 and 5008. The juke does too but I didn’t like how it felt sat in it. Mokka would be another. My mums just bought a Q2 for the higher drive view. its yellow so I’m sure other drivers will see her too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
