    RE Warranty, I would consider selling the car with the warranty which makes it more desirable (and which is transferable and bundling your outstanding balance into the deal) and then taking out a new one. I mentioned in an earlier note I took out a 2 year warranty and 3 year service plan funded by a 0% 20 month c/card deal from Virgin which I amortised over 20 months therefore zero charges. And you have Section 75 consumer protection.

    I agree with Barry14UK on this one. Just ordered a complete set of wipers from Lexus direct for less tha£30 (exc delivery) bargain. Had a problem with the order site it wouldn't accept expiry date on my c/C? But phoned through spoke with very helpful chap, Josh, who took order over the phone and should be here Tuesday.given it's Easter that's fantastic service don't you think?

    The card is actually the property of Halfords so yes you need it. But in terms of the Gold card benefits in general it bought me a tremendous discount on a three year service plan but not on extended warranty. Upshot is I now have 36 month fixed price cover for almost all eventualities which incidentally I funded via a 20 month interest free credit card from Virgin. So I pay back one twentieth each month to the card company leaving me 16 months for Black Swan events

    Strangely enough I always felt Grappa to be to people what aviation fuel is to Cessnas🤭 in other words it has a lone purpose. Whereas Tsiporou is for celebrating the conviviality of friends and always with a little octopus or fish or pickled veg. Bravo 😋😋😋

    Answered; get the family to move to Derbyshire 😎 because like me, you must feel highly blessed for living in this most wonderful of counties and environments!

    I would agree totally if the rendition was one of Andre's Segovia and if the Spanish had anything remotely as good as Tsipouro 😎

    Am driving UXE as a courtesy car today and initial impressions are its a fantastic vehicle. Quiet, very fast acceleration but with initial information overload! The main binnacle combined with the navi screen and multi colour HUD takes a while to synch with your brain. As a highly practical efficient and impressive EV I would certainly give it consideration if you wish to go the EV route.

    How long did it take to assemble 2500 files 🤔😎

    Edit, cars in dealerships not on here🤡

    Blessing, the best time to buy a car is when you don't need one, sounds obvious but true. And as you are on a fixed budget warranty, warranty warranty should be your key must have and before a sunroof especially in england 😊 Next, look up Kevin Hunter the homework guy, on YouTube and what he says about leverage. This will definitely get you a better deal. As Cyclone said on here there are cars on here that aren't moving as quickly as dealers would like so there are deals to be done. Best of luck.

    Renato, didn't know it until now - one word - Beautiful. As a committed grecophile I hopefully shall be able to play this later this year at sunset over the Aegean with a tall Tsipouro. 🌅

    Oddly enough I was loaned a copy, RCA Gold label as I recall in 1971 by a work colleague and was smitten, and have played it ever since. Pity is on Classic FM and other ways they only play the adagio and I feel it loses the whole identity as a result. Bit like they only play from the 1812 the sequence Tchaikovsky wrote with the cannon in it 🤡🤡🤡

    And Julian Bream?

    Super choices! When you get a minute listen to Miles Davis Sketches of Spain, terrific rendition of concierto de aranjuez.

    That's a great Army tip Barry. I go to isight, a manufacturing optical firm in Shepshed near Loughborough. Gayle who works there is ex Hoya and very knowledgeable and being manufacturers they will fit lens to existing frames. However due to current circumstances I am not sure of their current status.

    Only if there's an off-licence en-route 😋

    Edit, before I had my cataracts done that is

    Barry14UK, before I had my cataracts I couldn't drive at night, the oncoming lights were just too overwhelming, Since then I have discovered two great brands. Firstly, Hoya EnRoute, incredible lightweight lens that make driving at night no longer a pain. Secondly, Serengeti sunglasses, these must be the best daytime drivers in the world. It's like looking at the world in HD. Check them out, neither are inexpensive but the difference is astonishing,

    The solution is clear Ed, get a housekeeper and use your saved time on here and salve your frustrations on breaking some cheap china from ebay 😂

    Referring to an earlier note from someone on here, since owning an RX it definitely alters my auditory preferences from nothing to Mozart or John Coltrane all at a sedate pace. Whereas in my XKR and listening to John Fogarty and Travelling Band its really difficult to keep it below 100.😎

    Ouch indeed 🤑🤑🤑🤑

    Just tried the link but it requires a company name and number? Does the LOC legal entity meet this requirement? Can anyone answer? Thanks Phil
  24. Phil xxkr
    No, unless you pre agreed terms and conditions that said you were part exchanging. Alternators are commonly refurbished and sold on for a good price. See eBay for examples. Did you buy new or refurbished?

    And if you bought 4? Seems odd policy but then they are American! As to ATS they start out at higher price point and the discount is in Amazon vouchers which is fine if you use the service. I have just bought a Faraday key case from amazon and it looks OK.
