not saying he's not qualified to talk about it, more just griping about how irritating and obvious what he was saying was is all.

I get this all the time at work. Most people say "well my car is sitting there". Its the law to log details, so no docs, no plate. I had a customer burst into tears and scream at me because I wouldn't make a plate.

Cost of a front brake fluid reservoir. Extortion.

It's only a little plastic pot and I only need the outer not even the diaphragm.

The cheap universal pots have the fixings in the wrong place, so not universal.

Yeah absolute pants as you don't need 'retrospective' info when it was delivered very often, only good thing is out local sorting office is only a couple of miles away and open daily from 7am and on on Saturday.

With Amazon delivery they tell you the day it will arrive and on that day you can actually track the delivery van on a map and watch it move in your area in real time - magic................

Changing my emails and not getting notifications off here anymore. This is a bait post, to see if it gets replies and if the emails show up in the right place!
