  • Seat Leon - Kwik Fit, something positive! 29 Apr 2021 (Forum)
    for home fitting for only a fiver extra. Now my daughter, like so many these days, is working from home so was happy to get the cheapest price for this as waiting in all day was not a problem. 5 quid to save the hassle of driving into branch, waiting around town, the usual nonsense about needing new brakes

    with regenerative braking or any other adjustment or control I could have. . Please tell me this isn't the future. It seems like we are reverting to fairground dodgem cars. We'll then hate them so much we'll beg for automated self driving cars from Gxxgle map directions. Then we'll realise that a Zoom call would do
  • Many - Workshop Manuals 5 Mar 2020 (Forum)
    Recently downloaded a Daihatsu Mira manual, which seems to have similar front brakes to my (AFAIK undocumented) Daihatsu Skywing. It can be frustrating and risky searching for manuals online since a lot of the sites are fake clickbait and some of them are well dodgy. This site
  • If you could choose one foot operated device... 16 Feb 2020 (Forum)
    Now that we're heading inexorably towards a world of automatic hybrid/electric propulsion and within a few years manual gearboxes will be a distant memory... Without wanting to get into the left-foot braking debate, if you could choose one foot-operated car gadget to give the soon

  • Skoda Fabia - Hiring Cars abroad 30 May 2017 (Forum)
    but when we arrived the hire company said the car had no damage. Wrong it had and this was noted including an attempted break in on the drivers door.
