Moin Moin, I left my Ford Focus last night at the Ford contract workshop and threw in the key. Date was set for Friday. Actually wanted to pick up the car until max 1 p.m., because I need it for work at 13.30 (deliver packages). The aggregate belt should be checked/checked, because it made squeaking noises in cold condition. At 11 a.m. the workshop calls me and says the belt and a tensioning roll must be changed. emen is already starting. Cost point 300 €. I give it ok and he says he will make it by 1 pm. 10min later I will be called again and I am told that the spare part is not in stock. Would only be there by Tuesday at the latest. I think great. I would have had a tour on Friday, Saturday and Monday. Altogether I lost almost 300 €. So I wanted to have a rental car. But that also only for 20 €/day and with 50 free kilometers. That doesn’t bring me anything. Our. At the prices I drive for free. Had actually hoped that I could get the replacement car at least for free but then Pustekuchen. Why take off the belts if you don’t have the spare part in stock at all to carry out the repair? He wouldn’t recommend straps on it again or only under exclusion of warranty if something happens then. So 300 € lost earnings and 300 € for the repair does 600 € damage. Do you find that so ok or how would you have I was the first customer there, so the car was always on Ford’s service before.

Insurance, who pays?
Hello, short version – After my friend has turned off my motorcycle she has fallen over, who “holds and/or what kind of insurance is responsible for it? “Long speech, short meaning” I drove today with a friend motorcycle. Of course you would like to see how the other one drives and have changed the motorcycles. Everything good up to the parking of the machines. My friend has parked my CBR with side stand, has gone away from it, but she has rolled through the slant forwards and d the side stand has worked up. As a result it has fallen to the left side, quite “softly but no big damage. But the left handlebar and the shift lever are bent. (The handlebars are two-part, left & right are not directly connected) The good thing is that the engineers have thought about it and there was a setpoint breakpoint installed so that they do not damage the fork bridge in such cases. Thanks in advance for the answers!

RAM 1500 from 99 with 164KW ? Search for the TSN in vain
Moin moin together, I have a question regarding a key number for a Dodge Ram. The vehicle was imported by the previous owner from the USA and therefore has as type key number 2 only as so often known zeros. However, if I enter the first registration date of July 1, 1999 in the car letter and in the search 164kW machine I get the notification that this vehicle was built only until 06/1998 in this version. I suspect that the vehicle was built 98 However, I still lack the key number for 2 as repairs have to be carried out. According to Google, the 5.2 L V8 with 164KW has only been installed until 06.1998. In this respect, there is now a small puzzle and hope that someone can help me further. I look forward to your answers Best regards Sascha PS: I am looking for a side window front passenger and for a C1500 Stepside a gear converter, if Since someone can help out please PN to me. Thank you very much

Springleg Camaro 1978 in front sufficient?
Hello all, I am currently restoring a 1978 Camaro and have some questions and hope you can help me. I need new dampers and a new spiral spring in the front, because the parts are defective or almost rusted through. While browsing on Rockauto.com I also found a combined unit for my Camaro (see picture). Now the question: When I install such combined shock absorbers, do I still need the original spiral spring?! Or can I do all this? leave it out and simply install the shock absorber/spring element and everything is good?! Thank you for your answers, I hope you can help me. Greetings Cam

Jazz and Automatic: No ESP
Hi guys, I’ve been keeping an eye on jazz with stepless aut., but the message that ESP is now offered for all models “with circuit” irritated me. Also a call to the Honda hotline didn’t bring out anything – they had no idea. Now it turned out for good that the Jazz automatic is unfortunately not available with ESP. Too bad – I don’t really want to buy an A-Class, but if Honda doesn’t get it in line… Here’s more info:http://forum.la ngzeittest.de/read.php?f=434&i=112&t=112

Oil change with old Chiron compressor without manual
Hello dear people, we also took over a compressor with us when taking over a workshop, which throws without complaint and powerfully. I would now like to make an oil change. However, I did not have a manual about it, nor did I get an answer on request from the manufacturer Chiron in Tuttlingen. It’s understandable… the part has now already been on the hump for a few years. The previous owner had definitely made a change, but I can’t reach it. o simple. The filling quantity should be indicated on the crankcase if I see it correctly. And I suspect that the oil drain screw is the one that has a red dot on the side of the photo. Maybe someone has a similar compressor or even a chiron, and could help me if that fits. Next problem would be the oil…because unfortunately I don’t have any documents and I don’t find any manuals on compressors with a similar machine, I’m now at a loss what kind of oil ic h. Maybe someone can say something. I would be very grateful to you. Greetings Ben

Tyre filler sought
Hi guys, I’m looking for a tire filler for a compressor. However, not the standard equipment. Background: This should also fill tires of bicycles, pedal cars and trailers. Unfortunately, because no air on the tires, push, at the present (such a part to clip – i.e. the standard things), the valves fail in the rim and a pumping up. Incidentally, I found a hand air pump in the hardware store, where the connection is screwed onto the valve. Unfortunately, the L aftpump no indication and the hose does not fit to the tire filler. I can unfortunately only find the standard parts in the net. Does someone happen to know such tire filler and know where to get such a thing? Or does he have another idea? Thanks already in advance.

Accident without damage still 500 euros?
Hello, Last night, when I parked a parking car, I was very light, the driver was also at the scene of the accident. No damage could be seen. The rear bumper was at the place where the touch took place a bit black, but this let itself be wiped away without any problems. After the driver was a kink on the bumper, which is not to be seen. The police were not called but pictures were taken. The car of him is a leasing car and he himself is on He said we should leave the insurance out because it would be better for me. He wants to have 500€ and offers me to sign a waiver. He wants to fix the damage (which is not present in my view) himself. My question now is if I should turn on the insurance after all pay the damage itself, because I don’t think the damage is 500€ high.

Incident -> no visible damage (cavity)
Good day, yesterday evening someone drove me in my beloved 316i. Accident occurred at a speed of 30-60km/h the accident causer drove a t4 and drove me up the rear. Visible so far is only that the back apron probably has a way because the downwards is pushed obliquely (column measures on the wheel boxes thumbs thick). I have an AHK and when I lay under the car, I noticed that the carrier recording is bent and at the tank only thumbs wide fre i is what was definitely not before, the exhaust endpot is stronger than before and I have the feeling it pulls to the left and wheel distance does not fit according to my eyes any more in the wheel boxes. Now comes my real question: The opposing insurance has to pay an expert from 750 euros damage. But who is the damage only 700 or 500 euros? Was my first accident. Therefore I don’t know. Help would be nice. Will have the car check tomorrow but have the can I sign a cost assignment?
