Mottie guessed it and robin. I left the bonnet up. Locked it then shut the bonnet. Won't do that again.

You think I might be able to get to the cable? That'll do for me.

The lock works fine it's the handle that isn't doing us job. Cheers

Unfortunately the battery isn't connected.

I saw a couple of videos about that this evening. Air wedge they're called apparently. You have to prize it open a little to start with apparently. I might see if I can in the morning. Not sure what to use as a jemmy though.

Not a member. I might end up having to get a breakdown company out I suppose. The boot doesn't have a lock unfortunately.

Hello I left the car at a friend's house for a couple of weeks. Thinking I was being clever I disconnected the battery in case the alarm went off. When I tried to open it with the physical key it didn't work. I remember a couple of years ago the door handle wouldn't work which I put down to the...

Cheers. Would have been good if there was an online calculator where you enter your number plate and got a price.

Yes you're right. Id like to know a bit in advance. At the moment I'm paying on the monthly. I might try and start a years one just before this starts. Cheers

I've been trying to find out of what my car tax will be in the spring. I've found web pages saying it's only for new cars and others contradicting that?

Any idea how much someone might charge for putting in a steel? I'm not sure my insurance company is happy with the customer working on their own house. A very rough guess will do?

I think they're about £300. I don't use them enough for that. £15 to hire. I need 4 though.

I imagine the XL strong boys would be perfect to reach the far side. I'd have to do that from the inside and have the steel outside. Cheers

That would be my choice. But I've heard and read that's only really safe on a bungalow.??

For me they could be worth it. Instead of a piece of 4x4 timber these are about 60mm high apparently. Which would mean I can possibly get them above the steel and under the floorboards of the bedroom above. Otherwise it would have to go higher up and sit on top of the bedroom floor.

As it happens I've got that problem with the inner hollow blocks being no where near level with the outer brick wall. Was thinking I might have to find a tool that can cut the block neatly all the way through to match the arris of the brickwork. I am tempted by using strong boys on both walls...
