Quick job while "staying at home" can someone give me a clue how to...

Looks like the cables slipped out of the retaining bracket shown in your 4th photo, should be a quick fix to shove it back into the slot on the bracket between the two nuts on the threaded part of the cable then tighten up the lock nut [left hand nut] to secure it onto the bracket.

Insurance renewal [NLC]

Re: CCI renewal

Got my renewal through today from CCI, nice suprise its down from £455 to £251 [3yrs NCD, 6000mls, only driver].
Did a quick search online to see if anyone could get close - no-one anywhere near.
Never had my insurance renewal drop by that much before without phoning around :D

Re: Fitting S2 cam cover to S1

Hi, I've not fitted mine yet but have cut out a small section from the side of the plastic cover to allow the plug leads to exit without rubbing against it.

Re: NLC Gas Boiler service provider

I switched from British Gas to Scottish Hydro 3 years ago, Shield central heating cover.
Boiler seems to me to get a better service, not had any complaints so far.
