    Removing drivers side door card?

    By that I assume you mean the grey thingy thats to prevent the door opening too far... he is probably right too. If its a very loud noise i'd say it was this.

    ADI Driving Instructor Insurance

    My dad used to be one... his was less than £300 (Clio 1.5 DCI) Manchester postcode, 50ish year old. Any one with his permission even when not listed on the insurance could drive the car without him in it. (I think that changed recently though and they had to named.) Obviously insured for him...

    No locking wheel nut key!

    Try going to a Renault dealer, they should have a number of clios on the forecourt that all should have locking wheel nuts on. You will find they only make 4-5 different types of Nut and Ket for each make/model of car. If they are feeling nice they may let you try a couple just to get the nuts...

    What are 16inch Cup Turini Worth?

    I recently bought a 172 that I am making into a track car; I am buying some new track wheels for it tomorrow and therefore I will be selling the 16inch Cup Turini’s that are on the car at the moment. However I am unsure of what price to ask, and whether or not to refurbish them first. Along...

    Category D cars - Your thoughts!

    How can you own one with out buying one? :S or are we talking in the hyperthical situation that someone was giving them out for free? I'm sure most things worth anywhere near £5000 you would happily own if they were being given out free?

    Category D cars - Your thoughts!

    Yeah the differences with private and trade sellers could be key to that. On another random note; Swift cover won't cover a previously written off car... for me this is a bit silly, they will happily write off a car and say its Cat C/D and can go back on the road but then won't insure it...

    Category D cars - Your thoughts!

    Firstly I just wanted to clarify incase you felt I was, that I was not out for an argument or having ago at you in anyway. I was simply wanted to put my opinion forward as well as what I have seen happen first hand. You do have some good points that I take on board and my sisters case may...

    Category D cars - Your thoughts!

    All good and well but many people crash cars and don't claim on their insurance so you have this same risk buying any car second hand! I'll remind you of the trophy lad.. that car could in theory have been put back on the road and had no record of ever being in a crash. If they car is cheap...

    External Temp Sensor (nipple) - where from?

    hmmm.... I have just bought a 172 thats going to be a track car, I can't see me needing one of these. Is it easy to take it off? If so I'll sell you the one off mine! PM me if interested.

    <6000 milers P/A, 3 Years exp, 3 NCB's, 3 Points, age 22.

    ETA, all the 3 companies are sister companies but offer different prices some times. I got the best quote from Bell, but as I was already with Admiral rang up and they matched it. Otherwise just do the comparisons and try everyone not much more you can do!

    Proper Job

    In answer to the question in bold: Just because a road has the national speed limit does not mean you can travel at 60mph down it. It is a guide and that only. Roads are sign posted as national speed limit as on some parts of it you can go up to 60MPH but on many bends etc. you can not! It...

    Proper Job

    If i'm being honest, you should never find the limits of the car on the public road! Its never the time or the place on a public road, you never know whats coming around the next corner. I'm only 22 but I learnt early that showing off was a bad thing in a car, and luckily it didn't cost me...

    The company who he bought all the stuff from and probably paid to fit it must have been laughing all the way to the bank!

    what to do with my damaged blue 172 cup, advice please people, GUTTED

    To be honest from what you said the damage is, they are likely to write it off. This is due to them pricing it using brand new parts. Just get it fixed yourself you will find it alot cheaper than you think. I'm guessing your excess will be a fair bit in itself. Headlights are the same as the...

    what to do with my damaged blue 172 cup, advice please people, GUTTED

    100% NOT TRUE. If the insurnace company fix the car and give it you back it is not on any register as having been in an accident!
