      Great win for England, I don’t think there is any need to fear Argentina.

        It was a brilliant performance by England, I watched it this morning having avoided knowing the score.

            England v Mexico being shown on BBC 2 tomorrow morning at 7:10am for those who can’t/won’t stay up, you just need to turn off your phone/devices to avoid knowing the score. Good luck England.

              Yes you can take it to Kwik fit, just book it in and let them know it’s a motability car. When I had an MOT last year I took the car to the dealers and it failed on a tyre, the dealer told me to collect the car and take it to Kwik Fit and then return it to the dealer with a new tyre. The guy in Kwik fit told me if I had taken it to them for the MOT it would have saved all the hassle.

                  Seems like it, maybe he should have a read of the air conditioning thread over on off topic.

                      It was a great game for England, there has been quite a few draws so far but this was played more like a knockout game rather than a group game with both sides trying to win.

                        Interesting stat Marc, only Scotland could return from a World Cup undefeated without winning it 😂

                        It was an interesting group table that included the then world champions Brazil, Yugoslavia, Scotland and Zaire. All three teams beat Zaire with all other games ending in draws. So Yugoslavia, Brazil and Scotland all ended up on 4 points, 2 points for a win in those days. It boiled down to how many goals did you put past Zaire, Yugoslavia beat them 9-0, Brazil beat them 3-0 and Scotland beat them 2-0. Only the top two teams progressed so Scotland ended up third on goal difference by one goal.

                          As an English man I’d prefer not to talk about the 1974 or 1978 world cups.

                            Scotland were the only team undefeated in the 1974 world cup, the winners, West Germany, lost to East Germany in the group stages. Scotland won one game and drew the other two, in the group stages, and only missed out on progressing on goal difference.

                                The wheel fits in the boot, I can’t get the poly insert in though, but the boot floor fits on both the upper and lower levels. I’ll just keep the insert in the garage untill lease end. I’ve not actually tried the space saver on the car yet though. This is on the self charging hybrid Hyundai Tucson, I don’t know if it will fit the plug in.

                                  Finally got the space saver today it was supposed to be delivered last Monday 1st June, but it was stuck in customs waiting to be inspected, it only came from West Bromwich. I raised a ticket with DHL on the 2nd June to ask why it had not been delivered, they answered on the morning of the 3rd of June to say it had been lost and I should contact the seller.

                                  However I received an email overnight in the early hours on the 3rd June, a few hours before they told me it had been lost that it will be delivered on 3rd June the parcel was being scanned and the tracking updated so it could not have been lost. No parcel on the 3rd nor the 4th, but the tracking was still saying it will be delivered on the 3rd, maybe it’s being delivered by TARDIS, so on the  afternoon of the 4th I went into the tracking and arranged for me to go to the DHL depot and collect it myself on the 5th, the seller is less than 5 miles from me but the DHL depot is more than 25 miles away but I was okay with collecting it.

                                  Next DHL did an intervention on the tracking with my collection being cancelled and that DHL would deliver on the 5th with the option for me to collect being removed, nothing arrived on the 5th, tracking was updated to say the parcel had been delayed due to packaging  possibly damaged.

                                  On the first contact from DHL saying the parcel has been lost it said if I had any further problems there was no need to open a new ticket but just to reply to the email, so I replied asking why they think West Bromwich is a foreign country, why they thought the parcel was lost and for them to explain what packaging possibly damaged means, telling them it’s either damaged or not. The email bounced back as their mail box is full.

                                  So I opened a new ticket, again asking the above but adding that must have a lot of complaints but they are not reading or monitoring that mail box I’m still waiting for a reply.

                                  Meanwhile the seller, who has been very good, was asked by DHL to tell them what was in the packaging, they apparently do this when the parcel is lost and gives them an idea what size and shape the missing parcel is to help them find it.

                                  I spoke to the seller this morning, he was very apologetic, I pointed out to him that it was not his fault and I asked if I could call in today to collect a replacement for the missing items, he was happy to agree, and I collected about half an hour later.

                                  The seller told me the wheel will fit in the wheel well and I would still be able to fit the boot floor in no problems, he even offered to do it for me but I told him it was okay. I’ll try to put some pictures on tomorrow with the wheel in place.

I’ve also rang DHL and after putting in all the numbers of the tracking and post code on my phone key pad I got an automated reply the my parcel is on hold, with no explanation as to why and no opportunity to ask a real person why.

                                              I ordered the space saver wheel on Friday morning, DHL messaged me within a couple of hours that they were expecting my parcel, and then later the same day that they had collected the parcel and that it would be delivered today, Monday. Got a message this morning saying my parcel had been put on hold and then later my parcel is ‘Held at inbound gateway’

                                              So I’ve copied and pasted what this means as follows:-

                                              Held at inbound gateway means your package has arrived in your destination country and is currently stopped at a major DHL sorting facility for customs clearance. The package is temporarily paused while border officials inspect it or process necessary import fees.

                                              Now the seller is based in West Bromwich, opposite the Albion ground,  I only live a few miles away and the parcel has not crossed a local council boundary never mind an international border. Unless West Bromwich have gained independence without me noticing.

                                                  That brilliant, my advice never never tow without a spare wheel, do you have RAC Arrival it £65 to mobility customers, they usually offer it before renewal for £54/55. To be honest I would not drive without a spare.

                                                  Just to clarify, we weren’t towing, our caravan is a static. I think the RAC Arrival covers your car and a towed caravan, is that correct?

                                                    Just ordered this one, I’ve also ordered a securing bolt there is an 8mm nut in the boot well for the bolt to secure the spare.

                                                      Oh dear, what a shambles! Have you complained to Motability?

                                                      No I’ve not complained to motability as yet.

                                                      I’ve just been to my local Hyundai supplying dealer to ask if motability will pay for a new bottle of gunk and I was told they will need vehicle reg, milage and a picture of the gunk being used, I did not think of taking a picture. But they said they would request payment from motability but in any case there is no gunk in the country and also none enroute, stating it’s possibly stuck in the Straight of Hormuz..

                                                      I also enquired about buying a space saving spare and was told they don’t make them anymore and haven’t done so for a number ot years.
