  1. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=tie rod&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512X22312a9321813d4fefb542ecf8afaf65&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
  2. The inner tie rods possess an adjustable mechanism to guarantee that the steering wheel is centred. If misaligned, the steering wheel will be off-center. The probable culprit is that one of the rods is somewhat bent, rendering it slightly 'shorter'.This can be rectified through adjustment, namely by gently shortening the opposing side as well. The outcome will be a centralised steering wheel with a little tighter turning radius on one side than the other. The tie rod requires replacement alone if it is visibly bent; a slight bend is OK and can be adjusted as previously mentioned.

  4. The issue may likely be the thrust bearing, which can become loud yet function effectively for many years.
  5. I would examine the number 4 bushings or the springs.
  6. Affirmative, they are permitted, but just for new registrations.
  7. Indeed, in the past, the paper disc was inscribed with the expiration year and month; however, we have not used paper discs for many years. The only motivation for their continued actions is to generate further revenue.
  8. That is the least of my concerns. The genuine deception is in the need to pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) from the first day of the month in which vehicle ownership commences, whereas refunds for VED are only issued from the first day of the month subsequent to disposal. There is no justification, given the prevalence of electronic transactions, to accept (and return) pro-rata amounts depending on the transaction date.
  9. My wife used Halifax for banking, and their application facilitates check deposits. If only the DVLA would not endorse their checks as "A/C Payee Only," I would have deposited it into her account!
  10. Should the Nationwide app let me, I would proceed accordingly.
  11. A little observation on the accelerated pace of operations at the DVLA lately. On Tuesday, September 30th, we exchanged our two vehicles at a Mercedes Main Dealer and acquired a replacement on the same day. Notification of the sale of both vehicles to the trade was conducted online at the dealership, along with the registration of the new vehicle in my name and the payment of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). I was slightly astonished to get the replacement car's V5C (logbook) in our mailbox on the morning of Friday, October 3rd, and even more astonished to receive the confirmation of disposal and reimbursement of VED for both swapped vehicles on the morning of Monday, October 6th. Excellent work, DVLA! Now about the "predominantly" aspect. Why is it not possible to request that any Vehicle Excise Duty return be paid straight to the bank account from whence it was withdrawn by Direct Debit when reporting them online of the disposal, along with receiving confirmation of disposal via email? Individuals who want a check and a paper confirmation may still get both if desired; nevertheless, it would be far more convenient for those of us who prefer not to visit the bank to deposit a cheque.
  12. recommends that personnel use soapy water externally and utilize an air line from the inside
  13. The leaking windscreen is likely the cause.
  14. I just changed the primary battery. I am inquiring if the white font 4-digit number located on the center top surface of the battery represents the week and year of manufacture (e.g., 46 15), akin to the etched code on the battery connection of the main battery. I suspect that my auxiliary is the original battery.
