Andy Dufresne Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 2 hours ago, ThatBoyRonaldo said: Out looking at new cars today. What a pain in the c**t the whole process is. Traipsing round the country listening to pishy salesman patter for the privilege of spending thousands on a depreciating asset, and taking hours to negotiate a price down to an acceptable level. Does anyone actually enjoy this? It's amazing to me that no upstart company or whatever has come along with a view to doing this in a way as to actually make it a non-infuriating process for the consumer. The prices for cars just now are crazy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 My cars getting on a bit so probably in about a years time barring the thing dying in between I will be buying a new one. I'm tempted just to order it online and collect it. f**k the bullshit of dealing with these c***s in shit suits. I have a matrons idea what I want how much I will pay, how I will pay it and the term. So why do I need to speak to anyone about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 My 14 plate Fabia is about to clock 40k miles, does it need a service? Also it squeeks going over speed bumps. Too scared put it into a garage unless j really have to after last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 40k services are usually one of the bigger services involving all the filters being changed. If you look in the service book it will tell you what's involved. The noise over speed humps might just be drop links on the front suspension. They aren't expensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Apparently it's an electronic service log so I'm stumped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfCutNinja Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I need oil, power steering fluid and coolant. Can you just buy any type and pour it right in? I topped up the oil yesterday but is still way below maximum. The other two are low, do you just buy whatever and chuck it straight in there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) "Cars" is the debut solo single by English musician Gary Numan. It was released on 21 August 1979 and is from his debut studio album, The Pleasure Principle. The song reached the top of the charts in several countries, and today is considered a new wave staple.

SANTAN Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I just use water for the coolant and fizzy juice for the steering fluid. Works a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
