I used to fight their corner because they were genuinely better than the Yodris of the world but now their service is dire. Might be a NE issue, I can't say. But yesterday the customer service telephone twit told us to go to the local delivery office for one of the oarcels. Went down today and their system doesn't ever show it being in the building at all. Ludicrous.
Nothing but trouble those Yodris.

We know that some EV’s are fast off the lights but why oh why is every EV in front of me going so pigging slow. The last few weeks it’s been a Tesla of some description doing 20mph under the NS limit and today it was a Kia of some description doing 39mph in a NS limit and then slowing down to 35mph when we hit the 50mph signs, like that made a difference. I was too many cars back to attempt an overtake
Do they have to drive like this to preserve their kilowatts or are the ones I’ve come across just driven by annoying people.  :-\

Pot holes have pissed me off today, the bloody things are everywhere so nigh on impossible to avoid them all. The front left wheel hit one hard and it’s bulged the tyre sidewall slightly so that will be another £240 down the pan (PS4S). There’s 6mm of tread left which is annoying but I’m hoping the alloy has survived any serious damage because wheels ain’t cheap. The joys of 20” alloys I guess. Might stick a pair of tyres on so that they’re equal, but there’s nothing to stop it from happening again with the shite standard of roads in the UK now. ::)
First photo shows the damage between 3 & 4 o’clock but I rotated the wheel after the first photo to see if it looked worse at the bottom.  ::)  I’ve not looked at the inside yet so I hope it’s not any worse.  >:(

I know that feeling well  ;(.  Though usually, I can see rim damage as well when it happens to me.

If it makes you feel better, if down to under 6mm, they are approaching half worn.  And what else would a rich man like you do with £490 ;D


Fingers crossed on the rims  :y, given the bulge, the strongest side of the rim took the brunt.

Tescos.  Close their petrol station a week early for refurb.

Sainsburys was chaos, and I'm banned from the BP.

You need an EV. No need for petrol stations then.  ;D
