Re: Engine violently shaking

Sounds like a misfire for some reason. Could be brought on by damp weather and while it isn’t right, I wouldn’t worry about it. You might be due for some new plugs or even an air filter (if it gets clogged it will run very rich at start up). See how it goes and get somebody to cast their eye over it...

Me too.

It’s becoming a lawless shit hole and the offenders know it. They just do what they want in a lot of cases, knowing nothing will be done. It doesn’t need a few cops, it needs hundreds, if not thousands.

Re: Brake disk + pad replacement

They aren’t all crooks - they have massive overheads at dealers but they will see if a customer will pay retail. However, I might prefer the dealer to an independent unless I know them well enough.

Re: Brake disk + pad replacement

Get a few prices from local garages then go back to your dealer. They will compete if you barter.
