Another Broken Spring - Pothole Advise

Hello all,

Anyone got any advise on trying to claim for repairs to suspension due to potholes?

I have a mid 00's Passat that's snapped a spring. This is the third car in a row (granted, they've all been shitters) that I've had to repair suspension on.

And it's about time I tried to get the ...

Smith and who? Will have to have a listen. I find it really hard to find any good car podcasts. Maybe I should start a thread on here for Podcast suggestions and sticky it?

Re: Hybrid BMW M5 - Chris Harris Review

I know what you mean. I cannot see how that much weight is not noticeable in the corners, though I guess all new sports cars have super smart suspension that might counteract it?

Re: Electric Car Thoughs?

I was thinking more any future issues with software, sensors, programming etc.

With everything being updatable over the internet, surely all car ...

Re: Electric Car Thoughs?

Good point on the second hand market.

I do wander what maintenance costs outside of warranty will look like. There are some examples of some super high mileage Tesla's, but no mention as to what the overall cost of running was (200k with no battery replacement).

Not that I'd buy a Tesla.

Electric Car Thoughs?

I have mixed feelings about the whole Electric car movement.

It seems like they are the best move from an environmental point of view (I read a report on the comparison of lifecycles of all eclectic vs; hybrid vs. ICE and Electric was the best even when including energy for creation and excluding ...

Re: Building Split Rims

Cheers Chris. I've heard Tiger seal is what to use, but then conflicting reports that just black sealant is fine too.
