In Topic: Removing Radio Facia

12 May 2013 - 03:56 PM

Hi

 

I used a tyre lever from a cycle puncture repair kit I brought from Tesco which has two plastic levers which are very useful for facia removal and repairing trim. I have removed the section around radio with the tyre lever and it was fine.

DAB radio is still to take off, FM is still by far the best transmission
standard in this country and DAB doesn't sound any better than FM. Radio stations
can only make profit transmitting on FM that’s why the take up for DAB is so
little.



 


In Topic: £100 Per Hour Labour, I Must Be Out Of Touch?

I was booked in for a free brake check; I asked them how
they carried out the check without taking a wheel off their reply was we forgot,
once they found an item they could charge for my safety brake check was not
carried out. I did tell them it was losing brake fluid when they found the leak
they said your brakes are fine as the clutch also uses the brake fluid and the
car stops if you hit the brake pedal..

Hi

 

I got a local garage in Sheldon Birmingham to quote and do the work the total cost was £135, they completed it in 1.2 hour. Very please with the service. I have learnt my lesson from using these autocentre chains with there half price MOT and then they add headlight alignment never got away with a half price mot the total always comes to the original price or more...

 

maybe in these hard times we should go local?
