I have found a way of blocking the posts of abusive or detrimental members. if you go to your account and settings, friends and foes then type in the posting name of the foe it will automatically block that persons posts. I have just done this with silverhairs and it works a treat. What a tool. It feels just the same as turning off a dripping tap. Best part is its a waste of their time posting things you can read. It is brilliant. :D :D :D :D :D

Seeing that "Monkeyhanger" and "mike SEL" have now blocked me, I'm unable to ask "monkeyhanger" what company gives him a mortgage of less that half a per cent. I don't need a mortgage, but I would think there are many members who would like to know. Can somebody else ask in the forum for him to divulge the name of the company?

Still We'll be getting our Polo with a bit of luck before Christmas, as it's the wife's Christmas present, she should have got it by 29/11/2018, well that's what they promised.

yea what a tool. Anyhow more on the polo. I have my centre seat bely so called repair booked in for tomorrow, I also pointed out (at the time) some wiper judder. the judder has cleared up so I don't know if it was some substance on the new car or if the extra hot weather caused it. I have warned the dealer the judders gone but to be fair to them they said they would still fit new wipers. let you know how I got on.

I hope it works. I have tried most things suggested on here by actual owners somehow mine are cured, even the rear one. so I just don't know what cured it. I was out in very heavy rain a few weeks back and the judder was there before and during but seemed to die down after the wipers went on to full speed (it was raining hard). funny thing is that seemed to cure it. I hope the dealer don't screw it up now. Best of luck with your fix especially with winter coming on. Let us know how it goes.

Yea no judder since, my wipers are auto and tonight in the light rain they came on intermittent and no judder! I think you need the wipers on full pelt for a good few minutes.

Somehow I doubt anyone cares.

So do I leif, you can no longer apply for it, so useless information to anyone now. :)

Second hand trolling via proxy, that's a first for me :lol:

For Silverhair's curiosity, the answer to his question is in my original post. I'm on a baserate +0.19% lifetime tracker mortgage with Woolwich/Barclays (as I already stated). When the baserate dipped to 0.25%, I was paying 0.44% (0.25% + 0.19%) interest rate, and now at 0.75% i'm paying under 1% at 0.94% (0.75% + 0.19%).

No wonder he doesn't like percentages, when simple arithmetic like that seems beyond him.

This is the last time I feed the troll, first hand or second hand.

Ok just got back from the dealer, and they swapped my wiper blades all 3. and used a vinegar mix to clean the wind shield. they also gave me a 1l of the correct oil for the 116hp 3 poy petrol so that was handy I can ensure I buy the same spec in future. 5-30 fully synthetic.

Its supposed to rain tomorrow in this part of the world so I will see if the new wipers work.
