    Insurance Queries

    If you want to insure with them then give them another ring and make sure you know precisely what they are asking for, and whether it does need to be an approved make and installerbefore you start any work. I`d also be tempted to ring round a few specialist brokers and see if they say the same...

    Bumper Mounting of HI Lift - Legalities?

    How would you open the vent panels and/or the bonnet ? The other thing to consider is security - the more visible it is the more likely to get pinched, even with a locking bracket

    Is this a reasonable price ?

    The 1.8 can be a lot of car for the money but this one just doesn`t sound right - converting to 2wd for better economy sounds as if it is masking some underlying problem with the 4wd, and taking that into account its not a bargain at this price. For that kind of money you could fix the...

    Bumper Mounting of HI Lift - Legalities?

    PS if you are going to do any serious wading I think your frontrunner cover will potentially be next to useless - there`s a reason people mount them inside or high on the back

    Bumper Mounting of HI Lift - Legalities?

    A tricky one. Logic suggests that if a winch on a winch bumper is legal a hi lift jack should also be legal, but logic and the law are not always good bedfellows. I can see there might be criminal issues around construction and use ( inherently less safe in an accident than mounting it further...

    They aren`t mutually exlcusive - so you could send another letter once the time limit has run out (I assume you gave him a time limit ?) then small claims if you get nowhere with the letters. I don`t know how Scottish law calcualates damages but of its the same as England and you claim...

    300tdi - how to get off rear bumper with a tow bar?

    Try penetrating oil on the fixings first - be generous, and leave it longer than you thought, overnight for example, if that fails then its resorting to heat as Fanatic says and/or hacksaw or grinder if you can get access. Top tip if you have a decent spanner or socket which fits well -...

    Passenger side wing mirror

    If your mirrors are like mine the arm is adjustable forward or backwards on a ratchet but the mirror is adjustable towards or away from the vehicle and tilt up or down because its on a worm and ball type arrangement - the combination of the two should give enough adjustment. maybe the worm and...

    So instead of looking to show negligence by causing the fault, can you show negligence in servicing the car and not fixing the fault ? Does your expert`s report say that for the kind of work that was done any reasonably competent mechanic would have spotted the fault and fixed it ( with the...

    Alarm/immobiliser fault please someone help

    Firstly - are you sure its the factory fit alarm and immobiliser, if not the Factory code isn`t going to be much use ? If not , try the key plus code again Finally , have you put fresh batteries in both fobs and tried re- synchronising them to the car again, following the instructions in the...

    I think the satisfactory quality argument looks like the the one to concentrate on , and I also think the negligent servicing is potentially a good alternative, but you are going to need someone who is prepared to give you an experts report admissible in evidence, better than the suggestion you...

    You can see the issue in the CAG advice - proving any kind of statutory warranty claim, like fitness for purpose, is always harder on used goods. The test should therefore be that taking into account the reasonable wear and tear expected for a Land Rover of this age, affected by whatever was...

    110 insurance at 17

    Tom, you should make some phone calls. I`m assuming you want to insure in your own name as main driver and that you want to insure a "standard" 110 CSW V8 with a value for arguments sake of 4 grand. The insurance will be loaded for 1) your age; 2) your sex; 3) your location; 4) security when...

    Load bed length - carrying motorbikes

    why not look at a Hi Cap pick up - no door to worry about, just a tailgate, easier to ramp a bike up (its still way high off the ground though), and bike can go in diagonally if it has to and be very securely strapped in ? Other alternative might be a 130 or 127 but again the door on a van...

    Poor grip on grass a surprise

    Wet grass is pretty interesting on any tyres, particularly on a downward slope where you might need to be precise and the underlying ground is hard (I`ve had a few dramas with farmgates and dry stone walls when its just been raining after a dry spell).I wouldn`t necessarily put it down to the MT`s

    Can we just have a quick reality check ? Why aren`t you seeking professional legal advice given the amounts at stake ? If you find a good litigation Solicitor from a Socttish firm, it doesn`t need to be a partner, to give you some advice and write you an initial letter for a sensible initial...

    Anyone insured with Frank Pickles?

    Just because you do not formally accrue ncb on a Pickles policy does not mean that they cannot be asked to confirm in writing that at inception via them you produced X years of ncb from a previous insurer (in indeed you did) or perhaps of more relevance , that whilst you have been insured via...

    Defender Parking restrictions

    If you are searching for over height car parks I usually use Google to get a more specific website to earch properly - so Town or District Council website, airport website, national rail off the station specific menu and so on - usually works, and if all else fails I phone em up first if I think...
