In July my Seat Arosa broke down. My garage said the throttle body needed to be replaced. They said on the phone it was £418 inc VAT. When I turned up to collect the car, it was actually plus VAT, so was nearer £500. I complained but the owner just said, you should have checked the price with me, not the apprentice. I paid it simply to get my car back, didn't know what my rights were.

Its broken down 3 times since, going into limp home mode, with exactly the same symptoms. They replaced the throttle body twice more but didn't know what was causing the faults. They spoke to the dealer, who didn't know. When it broke down last week, replacing the throttle body didn't make any difference. The garage ended up taking it to the dealers, which I agreed to. They didn't ring me at all throughout the time it was at the dealers, & next thing I know, the car is fixed but there's a bill of £213 from the dealers to pay.

Should the warranty cover this as it was the same as the previous fault?

I asked my Christian friend this once

"What if someone lived a good life, donated money, wasn't selfish and all in all lived as good and noble life as humans could , would they still got to heaven if they didn't embrace Jesus"

He replied pretty bluntly "no"
I was sort of taken back
I mean I believe in some sort of God, but I find the idea of Jesus being Son of God sort of weird.

does that mean im destined to rot in hell for all eternity?

Would appreciate some opinions and answers

Thanks

Couldn't the matter of the teacher letting the children call their teddybear Mohammed have been dealt with by the school? Surely there must be more important things in the world that need sorting out.

ok, the past 2 months of my life have been a NIGHTMARE. one night i went to sleep and my bf of 5 years told me how much he loved me and asked me to spend forever with him and were planning a trip to boston. And the next day i woke up and got "hit by a brick wall". I found out from the other girl that my bf had been cheating on me for 8 months. He knew this girl had hpv and he still continued to cheat on me! when i found out he begged, cried, pleaded. He went completely physco for a few days and when i told him id give him a second chance.(stupid me). he said nevermind and already had another GF!! He even turned his family against me, which we used to be close. I have never done a single bad thing to this guy. What a nightmare. What is this guy doing? Does he know how horrible this is?

A bloke kills a deer, takes it home, and serves it up to his family for dinner, but doesn't tell his kids what it is, telling them they have to guess.

He says to them "I'll give you a clue, its what mummy calls daddy"

His little daughter gets a horrified look on her face, turns to her brother, and says "Don't eat it! Its a f..king @rsehole!!"

Sensible answers only please. I include a link to my previous question (apologies if you've already answered) about what weapon the soldier is firing from the hip at 5:00-5:07; a .50 cal seems to be the agreed weapon but I have never heard of them being fired from the hip like this before- I thought they were much to heavy and recoil was a wrist-breaker?

Thanks!
