    Small plastic bumper connecter part - can anyone identify it?

    Hey, if the plug fits, what can I say lol 😇🤣 I can't see clearly, but what you are looking for is a hole on the adjacent piece, if you can feel this there (bearing in mind one slip and your in the 💩), then you shouldn't need another part, but not knowing the exact positions\places I can't be...

    Small plastic bumper connecter part - can anyone identify it?

    I can't name it, but the image titled Scraping side looks like it needs one of those plastic butt plug things, usually most noticeable under the bonnet holding the insulation to the underside of it, also used to hold internal plastic panels in place in some cars, not much to go on, but hope it...

    London Congestion Charge and ULEZ to Recommence

    I haven't read through the entire thread, so apology's if this has been listed before, but as I am looking for a car myself this has become something that is concerning, I started to look for cars that are listed ULEZ on car sites, but I was shocked to see how many of these ULEZ advertised cars...

    I will also take offers for the DAB radio head unit, it's the model number; Pioneer AVH - X3600DAB, I just bought a multi head unit removal tool set, so I 'should' be able to remove it, although what I don't understand is the tool set spells it as "Pinoeer" lol, I attach a few pic's for you, if...

    Advice as to costs prior to looking for someone to do it Please

    Well sorry to bump this again, but it's a massive update, and given all the help I thought it fit to let you know, got an email earlier from an adjudicator that said I have had my claim upheld, so I'll be getting my money back, and the kicker? I sent a message to the adjudicator yesterday with...

    New (to me) car model advice please

    Well there's one for the books, I now have another £2k according a notification I got earlier, still not sure when or how it will arrive, but it looks like my claim has finally been upheld. 😁🤑 So does another £2k make a significant difference at all?

    Damn, tell me you ain't serious, that blows chunks big time, any idea when this happened? Just wondering if I could get something not as new(ish) that still had that, other cars with memory seats can do as suggested, if Merc's only have half of the dream I found, and now lost 😭 lol Well as much...

    New (to me) car model advice please

    Yeah this is the quandary I have, these days I don't do many miles, I always quote 5k for insurance, but not that I track it, my days of doing 1000 miles in a weekend are behind me, But, as I mentioned further down my daughter is\was (well will be past thence soon) a 100 mile round trip, and...

    New (to me) car model advice please

    Yes but the way things are I was ready to go that route as a trade off, I'm a little surprised about the concerns of high mileage diesel vehicles, these are (or at least were) capable of going round the clock at least twice, as it was always said that they go on forever, obviously this is with...

    New (to me) car model advice please

    Sorry I didn't get back sooner, had a bad night, anyway yes it is always the dream of what you want, but sometimes if your patient you get them, I thought my CLK was fitting with that, then the truth unfolded over the year, I was looking for 18 months before I found it and had saved enough for...

    New (to me) car model advice please

    I am now in a position to look for a better quality fully loaded car, and most importantly reliable etc, I need a fully loaded car, and I want a balance of power and economy, cars I have been looking at are around 0-60 mph in 7.5 seconds give or take, and a return of around 80mpg cruising, 70mpg...

    OK quick update, someone kindly pointed out an issue with the tyre sizes I had put up, and correctly so, in mitigation I was noting all the cars facts down to take action against the credit card, this was over a period of time, and quite simply I was dying at that time, I was not even able to...

    OK I had a message about the wheels, so I finally got to do some better pictures of the whole wheels this afternoon, just in the nick of time thanks to the wife reminding me and saying it was starting to rain, so I got out there and took some quick pictures, as the rain started, but isn't...

    Following a suggestion I am listing my car here, to save wasting anyone's time, I will start with a statement, the car is 98% fully working the way I see it (approx), But, the rust in the rear underside is suggested as being to bad to 'fix' so I am omitting the typical Spares or Repairs line...

    Advice as to costs prior to looking for someone to do it Please

    Yeah I know it has 2 values, the one you get by a straight scrapping of it, but the bit that gets me every time is the price you can get stripping it down, especially the wheels, if only I had the ability this would be a no brainer move, but the best I can hope for is someone with the space and...

    Hi people, I'm sorry to bump this thread, but it is the most logical way in my view given the next question(s), because any fact required to aide anyone replying is contained in this thread, now I don't know the exact rules here, but I am aware of using varied sections for set purposes, but by...

    Smart Meter reading

    There is no end of 'Price Hike' warnings going around, but that affects your bill not your reading, if this usage is out of character, and you can prove it with previous bills, then approach your supplier with this detail, and tell them you are not satisfied that the meter is working properly...

    Well not so much turned a corner, I have a very rare muscle-wasting disease, only this one affects every muscle in your body, including those you don't think of like heart and breathing, it took 25 years to fully diagnose it is so rare, and I am literally the 'poster child' for the UK used in...
