LV Highway via Keith Michaels. Interestingly, other brokers were refused cover by LV Highway, so it seems Keith Michaels have some secret sauce.

Ok disaster averted - managed to find a deal for £650, more than I paid last year but a lot better than £980.

Anyone else with a modded Clio in Central London having trouble getting renewals? My previous insurer refused to renew based on my E14 postcode. Best price ringing around is £980. I'm in my 50s with full no claims, one SP50 from 2020.

What are you trying to achieve?

Far too stiff.

I tried a 450 lbs rear spring on a full coilover which was utterly undrivable on the road. I went back to OEM fitment rear springs and separate dampers paired with front coilovers. I didn't see any advantage to a rear full coilover and was concerned that the rear turrets weren't up to the...

I had an R26.R. The Megane mk2 offers the small, wieldy dimensions of a Clio and moves around on the road like a Clio with obviously a lot more torque. The Megane mk3 despite being objectively more competent and significantly more planted feels a lot bigger and heavier and for me, less fun.

If using a 15" rim fit a 195/55/15 tyre. The difference in rolling radius between 205/45/16 and 195/55/15 is 0.4%. You're not going to cause any damage with that.

Just realised it’s a subframe drop to fit sump and not a simple job, so I’ll get recovered home

Not small sadly

I’ve just started a driving trip and have managed to get a hole in my sump. Before I get recovered home down south and forgo my trip - anyone know someone who might have a 182 sump and could fit today? Currently by the side of road near Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales
