Car D.I.Y.

Spent a couple of hours stripping the van of christmas lights and tinsel today following Sundays Illuminated tractor run.

Passenger wing mirror is no longer adjusting electronically. A problem to sort tomorrow.

Whilst were on lights on cars....I can’t stand the latest trend of light-up badges on cars...or even the grills lit up as seen on latest BMWs
Look crap to me.

You would hate the rear end of my van then

They`re on a switch and rarely get switched on but its getting sidebars with lights next

Got new battery for my little Citroen. More than 50% greater CCA and AH
On charger now overnight

You know its a good 'un cos it says "Premium" on the label.

 

[CXRAndy]

Yeah, It was £66, Bosch of same capacity was £84.

Or I could have got the puny 400CCA 40Ah for £46.
It came with 4 year warranty, which I'll probably forget where I bought it from if it fails-unlikely

 

[Drago]

Bosch are made by Exide anyway.

 

[Pinno718]

Bosch are made by Exide anyway.

Just the premium one's aparently.
...and Bosch comes with a 5 year guarantee. Go figure.

Completely agree, they look shite

I suspect it's not just Mazda but all car brands are getting like this.

I took my daughters Mini for an early oil filter change. The service guy on the desk looked perplexed that I would want an oil change so early. Hes says the oil is good for 18,000 miles between services. I said what's the oil sump capacity- just over 4 litres.

I said it's a small turbo charged engine with a tiny sump.

He was rather peeved when I ordered and collected 6 oil filters and ancillaries.

I changed my oil every 5k miles or once a year if less than 5k
