I know it aint the same thing, but my work (only part time 1 day a week) pays the top up on my insurance premium for business use, which is a couple of hundred quid on a Volvo T5. Alternatively if I cant be bothered to use my own car, I can use either of the two pool cars - a Mitsubishi...

Quote: Originally posted by the_ferret on 17 July 2005 the new one resembles a Yaris crossed with a new astra. not sure about it yet. I can see where youre coming from - Im not so keen on the back end but side, front quarter and front shots look really nice. It also looks really nice...

Was browsing in my Renault Magazine I got through the other day, and I really, really like the look of the new Clio. Any idea on prices yet? Id probably look at either a 3-door 1.6 16V or the 106bhp Dci. I sold my late 2003 Clio Dynamique a while ago to purchase an M-reg Volvo T5, which...

Using the AC a lot makes my T5 drink the fuel. Came back from work and averaged 19.6mpg Oh well. Was nice and chilly inside the car!

Runs the length of the car and back up behind the dashboard. There are four crossover boxes behind the dash for the door speakers and they have outputs/inputs labelled "Sub" and "Amp" which are filled with this type of wire - not sure if they run back to where the pic is taken or not - its all a...

Oh, and my parents never get asked and they have full NCB which is protected & guarenteed etc...

No I dont have anywhere near full! Im not yet 21. Have never been asked and Ive insured bikes since 16 and cars since 17.

Ive never been asked for proof of NCB.. ever. But they WILL ask you if you make a claim, or have a claim made against you. Not worth scamming.

I was looking to put in a factory amp in my car, but have since found out the car has been pre-wired for an aftermarket system, and the previous owner has left me eight nice Boston Acoustic speakers rather than the standard units. Ive had a hunt around my car, and have found two RCA sockets...

(This is a Volvo install, but you guys probably know more about car audio than the Volvo websites!) ... Ok, so I go to install my new T5-R amplifier behind the dash, and what do I find? Absolutely tonnes of aftermarket speaker wire (clear plastic tubing with visible copper twists - much...

Amen.
