Some blighter scuffed front bumper of my #GolfGTI whilst it was parked (only a few months after I had to shell out for a whole side of paint due to a door getting dented by another bad #driver ) Took two evenings on my knees to buff out scuffed clearcoat and paint transfer (thankfully most went) and touch up the scratched part (took 2 tries to get a result I'm happy with) not perfect but good enough from 1 metre, and I don't fancy spending another couple of hundred for a repair (even SMART repairs aren't cheap these days) only to risk it happening again and having to worry about colour matches (there are at *least* 3 shades of Tornado Red ) I'm glad I bought the miniature buffer #CarMaintenance #repair #Bladibarsket

@WiteWulf@cyberplace.social @teamonkey@mastodon.social Interesting that some Audi A6's come damn close to that, unladen. An A6 Allroad Quattro 3.0 TDI comes in at 1945 kg, presumably without fuel in the tank. An A6 Saloon Quattro 2.0 TDI comes in at 1980 kg. (Figures per Parkers.) However, I notice that Halford's own WWW site does not give a load rating for those chocks, which sets off alarm bells. And they look bloody small compared to your tyres, which is worrisome given the intended function. Comparable steel chocks, such as the Silverline 525748 or the Heyner UltraStop Pro, seem to only have a rating of 1000 kg per chock, which will be pushing it on those particular A6s with one pair and anything left in the car. There's a greater margin with the less massive models, of course. https://heynershop.co.uk/vehicles-service-repairs/3911-heyner-ultrastop-pro.html I'm with you on returning them, but you might find yourself up against the assertion that a laden A6 exceeds the unadvertised spec. Which A6 is it? #AudiA6 #Halfords #CarMaintenance
