I might be able to pull one in over the weekend...

what's the issue - DIY job [i'd advise against] or you plan to take it to a 'reputable' garage and use it for reference?

again personal preference [and incl, the time/cost factor in as well]... these days i only do 3k miles a year and that includes 2k round trip to Europe. However, I tend to service my cars regularly once a year - oil+filter+pollen etc [with fuel filter being done every other year]. to keep everything...

Yup found couple in the West Ealing store... Guess others would have them too.

cheers... FYI - bought one from Lidl for £12.99 [on offer from 19.99  ] and it had worked a treat.

I also tested the same on the bike and all I could say that it's been brilliant so far. 2 years guarantee, did a job on two distinct batteries/V's for just over a tenner... brill.

Stupid q... Can you charge the batt. Via terminals under the bonnet or it has to be plugged to the actual battery points (bugger to get to in the boot)? Ta

[quote="bigsanj"] Hi there, i have the WD policey and touch wood no problems. I have it covered for BMW rates and also wear and tear. So far i have claimed for calipers, suspension bushs and finally a whopping £1800 for ac condensor. [/quote] Have they covered it in full or...? Any contrib...

Had a chat with them today and it seems that as the car is 'used' [obviously] and due to wear and tear they would only cover 50% for the cost of parts. However both labour [up to £200 p/h] and/or any diagnostics will be covered in full. So not bad after all isn't it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi... I've been thinking of getting WD. for nearly 200quid a year it seems like a no brainer with 50 excess. Now... Although they cover bits such as engine, g'box, transmission etc... Is it really worth it snd would they cover both parts and labour if anything goes 'wrong'? For instance... Is Vanos ...

never heard of it... i'd suggest to go for reputable brand as quality and expectations above all should/would be met. Even a 2nd hand/used branded tyres are [in my opinion] better than budget equivalent.

Hope that helps.

Front diff. went at 139k and g'box is still running strongly
