Button should have still worked on the fob either way, I reckon the latch was just a bit stiff and using the key has freed it off again..?

welcome from not nearly as sunny wigan :D

ok title may have made it sound a little more interesting than it actually is, but here goes I won nearly £200 in Argos vouchers from work so I spent hours trawling through their site for house stuff as i'm moving this week into my first house, anyway, having missed out on most sale offers I found most of the stuff that caught my eye could be found cheaper elsewhere so I typed in Argos in the search box on Hot UK Deals and changed the sort order to Newest, up pops a Samsung UE40F5300 full hd smart tv reduced from £474.99 to £249.00, bargain I thought, the deal was voted cold as all the members moan when theres no stock anywhere lol, i'd seen similar spec models in the sales over xmas but still over £300 so I was lucky to find the tv in stock locally, reserved it and collected this morning enough waffling, heres the point: the tv I got was a slightly different model, UE40EH5300 (older model, no pvr feature is the only difference), they'd just stuck a sticker over the original catalogue number with a different one I checked both catalogue numbers when I got home and none are in stock pretty much anywhere, so, given the bargain price, do I kick up a fuss? for those nationwide, catalogue number I bought was 109/1678, but the covered up number is 529/9696

its really not an easy car to replace, lol, i'm currently in the process of buying my first house too, so its been my secondary focus really, and every so often another car crops up that I hadn't considered i'm full of excuses aren't i? I know I don't wanna sell it but its currentlly the sensible option reflected by my situation

my dreams are a little wilder then cos i'm aiming for as close to 3 as I can when mine goes

Hadn't looked at Civics as I hated the shape when they came out, but it's grown on me and the type S looks really good inside too, fuel economy on the 1.8 petrol seems pretty good too, and they are quite cheap to buy now too

Reject the car for a refund, refuse any repairs, stand your ground, then buy another car, it's not worth any more hassle

What's everyone's thoughts on the Honda civic 2006 onwards shape??

the 2 litre auto is only a 4 speed box where the 3 litre has a 5 speed, so is not really any worse on fuel economy for the bigger engine and power, get a 300 :)

may be staggered tho so check the width of the rears as i'm not sure if that matters

Anyone have any recommendations for a garage that does a proper wheel alignment near Manc/Lancs?

I drove past a VW Caddy this morning with S3X BJ and i'm guessin they'll be happy to pay the fixed penalties rather than correct the spacing I like my plate, its tidy, compared to the original 7 characters

mine warms up in about 10 mins, i leave it set at about 22

I used to say to my boss I was gonna get one when I could drive and he always said I never would, at that time it was back in 2001, i'd only just started a new job and had no money at all, and I was aiming to save £8k for a T-reg, simply as it was the cheapest i'd seen for a reasonable example, I wanted it in Aztec Fire, went off that colour by the time I got one tho

really hate ebayers that chat shyt in their ads, its running 600 bhp but can reach 800 with the right turbo, I could advertise my stock one at 210 but say its capable of 800 with the right mods, pointless, if its not running 800bhp don't bother putting it in the ad puts me off buying stuff when people have to blag for a sale

finished the game now (Main Story and Main Add On Missions), its not long enough, my characters are rich, just wander round buying and modifying cars and stuff, I don't do the online bit cos i'm really not bothered about it

is that a photoshop job?

mines still the original so i'm always polishing it

Are Toyota franchised? I have 2 local Toyota dealerships near me, one is RRG but the other is HW Moon, they've never said no to doing any job i've asked, all service requirements fulfilled and a check on my EML when my o2 sensor went

were they not just havin a wee?

I never recirculate air if I need it warm, it switches to recirculate on its own when I turn the temp down tho I only use air con when it needs demisting quickly, but I do use it all year round as I I believe it's not a good idea to not use it at all for months at a time

O right, I might stick with preset, see if I can adapt

Just a couple of car controls are different, I used to use x to accelerate and now it's r2

Wasted 2 hours just faffing about on it while I get used to the controls being different, need to get into the missions now, I never pre-ordered either, seems there was no need, my local tesco had tons of stock
