Depends entirely on the quality of the job the tech has done. If he/she has used brake pad feeler gauges that are colour coded red/amber/green, and a digital tyre depth gauge (with an explanation that the legal limit is 1.6mm but the recommendation is to change at 3mm), it’s pretty self explanatory.
If they’ve whipped around the car in 12 seconds flat to satisfy a KPI of making x videos per day then their value is limited.

Heard the RF tax was expensive in view of the emissions from the range extender two cylinder engine.

Any idea if this is correct ?...

Been watching a detective series on TV about Sicily in the 80's called Maltese the Mafia detective. It's a car spotters's dream if you like old Alfas and Fiats etc. even a Renault 4, used to like them for some strange reason. Read more

I did watch this series, can't remember exactly when, but either late last year or early this year. And while the story itself was OK (if not exceptional), i spent a lot of the time 'car spotting', especially any scenes involving a car park!. For anyone thinking of giving it a look, bear in mind it is Italian, so if you can't deal with subtitles it isn't for you!. BTW, it is actually set in the 70's....

I doubt that Dom is a back-roomer, but just in case: if you did 'stop for petrol' on the way back to London from Barnard Castle in your 69-plate silver Disco Sport, you might want to check if your insurance covers misfuelling. Because it's a diesel.

Right, my vision's a bit fuzzy so I'm just off to drive for 90 minutes or so to make sure I'm OK. ... Read more

Main enquiries at Renault/Dacia dealership have been for Sandero PCPs priced at £125 a month.

Still demand for cheap A to B motoring.

Was I the only person to wake up today who didn't realise it was a Bank Holiday? TBH, I'm finding it hard to remember what day it is at the moment half the time, given one day seems very much like all the others. At least with the 'Clap for Carers' (no comment) on Thursdays I know which day it is once per week!

Maybe I should visit bored.com again. Read more

Very good. My cousin does a few days at a CAB too. Invaluable work to help out those who can be daunted by the system or are being fobbed off.

I expect your legal background was instrumental in your employment. Experience is a wonderful asset....
