UK: Halfords are still offering their fully synthetic oils at £12 for 5 litres. This usually goes for a solid £36 and there is nothing on the market that cheap (even Tesco's no-name stuff is £20/4litres) Don't know why they are selling it off so cheap (it's not like it goes off in the warehouse) - perhaps they are bumping their year end figures? - but it's time to stock up. At that price, I wonder if I can use it to cook my chips in.

cakesmith handyman posted:Any UK goons got home CCTV? I'm thinking of putting a Swann system up incase my neighbour escalates his dickheadery beyond passive-aggressive but I'm open to recommendations. I got a professional system fitted, so probably not what you are after, but I will say that you should definitely spring for HD cameras All those ones with smartphone apps look clever and useful, but check reviews on the basic DVR software as to how easy it is to search and retrieve video files. I get the impression that a lot of them are shite.

Just been down a bumpy track and my suspension started making a hell of a racket, so I diverted to the nearest garage. Better safe than sorry. I'll get them to check it is nothing serious, then I'll drive home and get it fixed there. Turned into the forecourt and there was a comical 'boing!' and the top of the coil fell off. Just as well I did stop, really. Now how to kill the next 3 hours until they swap the springs.

I've worked out that, excluding a gearbox, I've spent more on coil springs than all the other repairs and maintenance combined. (Buy a car and I'll have to replace a spring within a year) I'm seriously considering buying a range rover, just to avoid this.

Darchangel posted:My Cutlass did that once. Fortunately the spring stayed in (double a-arm with the shock through the middle, and I just continued on the 1 mile home, carefully. Literally that noise, too. The broken spring came out of the cup on mine and the mechanic believed that even a 10 min drive home stood a good chance of the spring ending up shredding the tyre. I was 1.5 hrs from home when it happened. Fair play to Kwikfit - I rocked up with no appointment during a busy time and they ordered the springs in, fitted them and did the alignment in exactly 3 hours, as promised. It was a loving hilarious 'booing.. clank!' Sound.

InitialDave posted:Actually, that thread is why I've got it. We were going to use my mate's car for a journey, and then it got bummed to death by a Transit. I recall somewhere reading that forgetting to tell the insurance company something (such a a mod) will not affect a claim unless that mod had (or potentially had) an effect on the incident. e.g. telling them the car is red not blue will not prevent a payout for your being rear-ended by a tranny (phrasing) However respraying your car with invisibility paint could prevent a payout

If it is any consolation, you have not missed out on a car in CKD condition that you can put together into a working vehicle: you've missed out on some boxes of spare parts that happened to come from the same car.

Mine would have been paid off a number of years ago except that when I first started working hmrc lost all my payments for 3-4 years (until I noticed) and then it took months to sort it out and they still didn't get it right. I've just spent a week trying to complete my online Self Assessment Tax Return for HMRC, due to finding a bug in their system that they didn't know how to resolve. The last page of the form has a free text box to include additional information about your tax return. It doesn't accept the '%' or '£' symbols in it.

Liquid Communism posted:On top of that, this whole EO regarding travel bans was never run past the DOJ or DHS before a couple hours before signing. It's just something Bannon and company cooked up and realized they'd never get past anyone with a legal background, so pushed it straight to signing. I'm almost more offended that this action was done so incompetently, rather than the horrible, bigoted nature of it. It's like you expect politicians to enact policies to discriminate against people and screw over the vulnerable, but the fear comes when you realise that a badly thought-out order from above, which was possibly written in crayon, can affect the entire machinery of a civilised country.
