Clutch replacement
I am pretty certain that, after 11 years, nearly 97000 miles and and a year of stop/go driving around the A4174 Bristol Ring Road, the clutch in my faithful and much-loved Mk.2 Mondeo is slipping.

Charged Wrong Price For Petrol!!
I have just put some Petrol in my car at my local supermarket petrol station. As you get points per litre (not £s) i put 10 litres in @ 106.9/litre. This should come to £10.69, but the pump said £10.70!! I pointed this out to the pump attendant who was taken aback by this & said he hadn't realised this as he never took…
