Welcome matey - was in Sunderland last weekend (Washington)

P.S: How about this for a perfect choice @ 18? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/532322.htmNote: group 3 insurance
why dubious - a pile o' shite is easy to spot wherever it is!
most is stuff that's been on forecourts for 60 days+, trade-in or ex-lease/fleet (often bought by main dealers, 2K added then sold back to you!)
think about it?
how often is a car on a dealer forecourt 'local' with all the...
auctions are a cracking way to buy motors - I reckon the grand+ you save is worth the small element of risk!
as long as full history and buy on condition, no different to private or dealer except loads cheaper
I've bought a 106 & Xsara in the past both well under trade book price (about 2K...
Yoko A539's due for replacement this week
Have ppl had this before? Mine sounds like a tube train above 30 and a jumbo jet on take off @ 100+
am I right?
if it was bearings, it would sound worse on cornering?
if it was drive shafts, it would be quieter if I dip clutch and...
^ ^ ^
what's with the offence?
simple - if you don't like the thread, don't read it
I've been member for years and helps loadsa ppl out. 12 months ppl used to get 4 or 5 attempts at a shop request like this within a few hours?
:-(
come on shoppers
now thinking citrus orange lower, white upper, white bumpers, brows and 17" VAG rims (aka top pic Englebert #12) :-)
PLEEEEEESSSEEEEEEEEE
buy my sensibly modded dCi 80 - it will beat a mini cooper (seriously)
sub 10 0-60, 120+ mph, 65mpg
Custom Re-map by Superchips (110bhp and 180lb/ft), 40mm drop, 17's
ONLY looking for £4K and it is MINT MINT MINT
£1600 with 12 months MOT, service history, nearly new tyres, new seats & curtains, bodywork all straight bar fixable sliding door rust - It's all cosmetic
A really nice one is worth £4K - mine will be worth that with about £400 quid and a months hard work :-)
I'm doing the bodywork myself - I won 1st prize in concourse with a Landrover I rebuilt from a pile of scrap years ago
The surf chick girlfriend is doing inside :-)
Just bought this old banger

Aiming for the full surf-dude look in two-tone green & cream.............

sorry to butt in, but you can get the mpg up to 140+ on a dci !
I have got it to stay at 99.9mpg for miles and miles on my steady (busy) A-road commute
I even reset trip after full tank and gently cruised the last 5 miles to work @ 50mph and it showed 1500 miles to go!
p.s: it's surprising what silver door badges (£10 using originals), new wheels (£200 if you sell standard ones towards cost) and a 30mm drop (£150) can do for the looks.
I get loads of compliments about my car and it ain't no 172
horses for courses
depends what YOU want
- have the cash, want the looks now, but not bothered by performance? do it!
- desperate for the performance as well? save and go for it in 2 years!
^ ^ spot on - I was gonna say £300 - I always aim for half when Reno quote and often beat it!
54K service? Reno £260, independent with receipt and stamp £70
New discs + pads? Reno £300, independent with receipt and stamp £120
park it next to my wife and she'd soon sort it for you, her car looks like it's been driven by Stevie Wonder!
seriously, fill it with WD40 and leave for a few hours, prop it up and use a nail with the head cut off or a drill bit to tap through the hole with a mallet
^ ^ agreed - £800 is more than my mortgage :-O
If I sold it tomorrow, the dCi has cost me just 22ppm or £256pm all-in over 60K, 4 years 4 months
Depreciation: £5300 (new to current value)
Servicing incl. discs & tyres: £850
Mods: £1200
Insurance @ £300p.a: £1299
Tax (£50 down to...
They look great, why change?
£300 MAX for 15's however mint or valuable
I only paid 410 on Ebay for nearly new 17s with tyres and and got 300 for my mint dynamique 15's
leave 'em on -even if you make 300 and then spend 200-250 on dynamique wheels what have you gained by the time...
google it, ticking the UK only box

P.P.S: BB Performance in Essex charged me just £122 in 2004 for Apex fitted!
