  Am I going mad?
Posted by: bhalay207 - 2:nd-Oct-2015, 23:22:48 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (6)

I seem to remember my seat belt reminder chime going off if my passenger didn't put their seat belt on. Today it seems to have stopped... Now either I have thought wrong or the car has stopped doing this.

If it's stopped, what's the cause? I have no warning lights/messages etc.

  Alloy Colours
Posted by: sheppy1 - 2:nd-Oct-2015, 20:34:10 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (19)

Hi All [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

I'm wanting to have my alloys sprayed a different colour and have a few questions :

1. Whats a good price to pay a garage to have all 4 done?

2. Anyone got any ideas what colour would look good with a gunmetal grey car? I wanted black but black, grey and silver chrome is a bit much and mismatched!

Cheers

  Discount on UK Breakdown Cover for members
Posted by: ChrisKnottIns - 1:st-Oct-2015, 13:15:12 - Forum: Chris Knott Insurance - Replies (6)

Our 'Awesome Autumn' Offer - £5 OFF UK Breakdown Cover

Chris Knott Breakdown Cover normally costs £59.50 for a single vehicle and there are extra discounts for covering multiple vehicles.

However, to help members as we enter the misty mornings and cooler days of Autumn, we're offering £5 OFF these rates until further notice.

You can arrange cover by calling FREE on 0800 917 2274 or you can use our 'quote and buy' facility online at https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/rescue - this seasonal discount is added once you've entered your quote details.

Cover really is comprehensive - you'll benefit from all of the following:

HomeStart - to help you begin your journey when your car won’t start
UK Roadside Assistance - to get you back on the road
UK Recovery - to take you and your car back home or to a local repairer
Onward Travel - to take you and your car to your original destination
Overnight Stay - to help you continue your journey the following day
24hr Hire Car - to get you home or to help you continue your journey
Relief Driver - to get you home if the driver is taken ill
Message Relay - to let loved ones or colleagues know you’ll be late

In addition you'll be covered for eventualities such as flat batteries, lost or broken keys, accidental damage to tyres and running out of fuel. 

With an average call out time of just 35 minutes you'll be glad you're not left stranded like those who don't arrange cover before the really cold weather sets in.

So, either call Chris Knott Breakdown FREE on 0800 917 2274 or use our online 'quote and buy' facility at https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/rescue for competitively priced UK Breakdown Cover.


  WIN a Karcher K2 with Chris Knott this October
Posted by: ChrisKnottIns - 1:st-Oct-2015, 13:12:57 - Forum: Chris Knott Insurance - Replies (2)

WIN a Karcher Pressure Washer with Chris Knott this October!!

Get a quote from Chris Knott Insurance's special car insurance scheme in October and we'll enter you into our draw to WIN a Karcher K2 Car Pressure Washer. It comes with all the car attachments so you can keep your pride and joy in tip-top condition. 

Either call us FREE on 0800 917 2274 or request a callback using our online form at http://www.chrisknott.co.uk/CarQuote - all calls to the Chris Knott Quoteline are free even from mobiles.

When we quote you a price, that'll trigger your automatic entry into the draw. Simple as that.

This draw is for new policies only and doesn't include Chris Knott renewals - you have your own year-round benefits. Genuine quotes only please - we will ask the winner for proof of their due date just to confirm they are eligible.

Whether you win the main prize or not maybe you'll be saying what this satisfied car club member said:
"Thanks for insuring me with such a great quote, I purchased there and then! Nearly £200 cheaper than my renewal!" dolphinfriendly, JagInfo

PS. We'll be announcing the winner of September's prize shortly. Someone has won £150 mods/car parts/accessories of their choice and we'll be letting them know early next week.

And there's the Virtual Show & Shine Competition which has now closed on our social media pages. The winner of this Summer's competition will be selected tomorrow and they'll receive a £100 Amazon Voucher.

We hope you'll agree that we offer more than just boring old car insurance. Give us a call and see how much you could save and maybe you'll win this month's prize.

MORE HAPPY CAR CLUB/FORUM MEMBERS
Feedback received about the Chris Knott scheme in the last week or so:

"Big thanks to Chris Knott - spoke to Kathy was a lovely person knew what she was talking about and an excellent quote of £350 for me Many Thanks." Ash1990, FiestaSTOC

"Wow just got a quote from Chris Knott beaten everyone else and then some. One very happy soon to be new customer. Highly highly recommend giving them a call." Triggerboos, VWAudi Forum

"Got my documents thankyou and thankyou for making it really easy, Cathy. Declared mods and you beat my previous insurer by over £100, £250 if you add the mods on." Shel, Hyundai Coupe

"Must say, I spoke to Rebecca today who was very helpful, not only did she match my already very good quote from Admiral, she actually beat it by about £60 with all my modifications properly declared. Definitely worth the move to Chris Knotts, it was nice saying my car has a remap without trying to explain to an Indian that a remap is not a suspension change, nor is it a chip that goes on the side of the engine. Will be ringing up to confirm in the next few days." Alex121, Volvo Forums

"All mods declared and got a lovely quote of £300 today! Lovely stuff! Beat Sheila's Wheels by £12, but it's still about £140 less than my Swift Cover renewal. I prefer having my insurance with a modified car insurer anyway. Happy days!" JaceMindu, Hyundai Coupe OC

"I have just renewed my EP3 cover with yourselves and my Mrs has just swapped her FN2 cover to you as well. Very happy with the service.  She is only 26 and saved over £200 with yourselves so can't argue with that." al_typeR, Type R Owners

  Double Din Fitting???
Posted by: doug143 - 28:th-Sep-2015, 14:20:53 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (23)

Alright,

I'm looking at getting a double din to replace my CD400 system, can people who have experience changing this link me to products that I will need so that this will all go smoothly.

I know I'll need a new fascia, but what will I need in terms of cables etc to make sure all my controls on steering wheel will work properly?

And any links on a decent double din? Around the 2-250 mark?

Cheers.

  Monthly checks
Posted by: Tonto - 28:th-Sep-2015, 11:36:25 - Forum: General Chat - Replies (3)

I'll start by admitting that with my previous cars all being Vauxhall Corsa's B, C & D I never 'really' looked after them. But now I have my J I love it and want to make sure I minimise any chance of knacking my car due to negligence.

So what checks should I do each month? Tyre pressure, oil...?? Any and all advice is appreciated as always, thanks.

Tony

Well I nearly managed 6 whole months without curbing my alloys. Well actually I did manage it, the misses on the other hand didn't. Luckily it hasn't damaged the paint and it's just scuffed the alloy.

Will I be able to just sand it down and put some lacquer on?
