General Car Chat / Remap questions
« on: 11 March 2024, 19:16:31 »
Hi all not posted on here for a while since my Omega finally became beyond economical repair however I have been lurking in the background of the to see whats going on. I now drive a Insignia Elite 2.0 ltr Bi Turbo diesel and am considering a remap so looking for advice should I just go for a remap done by a specialist or a plug and play tuning box which suppliers claim will give the same gains as a remap any advice would be gratefully received. TIA Tony

Hi all this morning I observed two airliners overhead flying a similar course and as far as i could make out the same altitude and at one point they were side by side one was giving out the usual vapour trail but the other one had no trail what so ever got me puzzled.

Mrs May has been interviewed today saying there is no correlation between these crimes and police numbers. Absolute rubbish!!!!!
She is just protecting her past record as Home Secretary when she cut police numbers. The Police need another 20,000 officers nationally and until we get those numbers all of us will see ALL crime escalating and crimes going unreported/unactioned.
Police officers are tearing their hair out, if they have any left, fighting to keep us all safe and for justice to be done.
Mrs May now must go for many reasons!!!
Agreed Lizzie

As with most dog insurance it is not just the vet bills to consider. Although this is a main consideration a friend of mine didn't take out insurance on there new dog and have had several uninsured dogs before and have been lucky with no major vets bills however there last dog needed a hip replacement and as a consequence his bank account is now £6,000 lighter. The other thing to consider is third party liability cover.Imagine if your dog got out caused a car crash which resulted in a claim for personal injury and property damage resulting in a huge claim against you. "food for thought".

« on: 26 October 2018, 19:21:59 »
The penalties for using a mobile whilst driving should be raised 9 points plus mandatory £1,000 fine in Addition the police officer involved should have the right to confiscate and stamp on the phone with his size nine boot. Mobiles nowadays are much more than a means of communication they are to some their lives, these measures may make them think twice before using them whilst driving. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of drivers on the phone sat in very expensive cars when a hands free kit can cost them well less than it costs to fill there fuel tank.
