The insurers agree with me.

No wind up. The T&Cs are in black and white, and are serious business should you make a claim.

You will be able to prove your ignorance ?
No. On the internet, as well as in your drawers.
It was proven already that only approved parts are covered by insurance.

Just show me which post and i will go and look and then accept it.
Or if its not there, then it proves you wrong again.
The AC was like new as hoped. This was like winning a minor jackpot because that wooo noise had been annoying me for years. Now I just get whoosh noise of air.
I went to see an old friend I hadn't seen for many years. Looked like it still had 10 years of life left. I gave it some ointment and left it. No way and no room to do this without dropping the exhaust.
There is now no longer urgency for disc jacking. Also, it has been proven today that lifting the car up one side is not very useful unless done to an extreme degree. So my disc jack plan this spring has been cancelled. I will resume the plan after revamping my jenga. It's made from MDF and very strong. But it's not water proof and can't be used for longer jobs where there is risk of rain. A 16 inch lift on all four corners begins to be useful.

Mods, can you please delete the above reference to a car being jacked by the brake disc and supported on mdf?
Some poor soul could read this and think it's a good idea (to end their life).

If it is not deleted.
I agree, and repeat, it is a very dangerous idea and should not be done.

Yes if used correctly, not how you do it though
A long while ago I had my car written off by a driver whose insurance firm refused to indemnify him because he put a wrong age on his proposal form. He had put 26 when in fact he was 29 !
I discovered that my policy had a new for old which covered my one year old car. So I claimed on that.
It was another benefit for me because I had bought the car as imported from Belgium and converted to RHD as that was a lot cheaper. The replacement car was UK provided.
But the new one was not as nippy as the original. That had twin 11/4" SU carbs and the replacement car had a single 11/2" SU.
