Thanks, So when you say high milage, what do you think should be my limet. Paul ps: I just found a metalic grey 1.8 16v with 50k on the clock, 1 lady owner (so she says!) Owned from new, original spec, perfect condition...£2,895 DAMN I wish I had the money now!

You sure? You get an extra 5bhp in red! Its the same with all cars. Red is always faster! Bloody nice looking car though! Paul

If its only a small section thats damaged it can be repaired (paint wise) pretty easily. Dont go to renault, they charge about 5x more than everyone else. It should easily be well under £100. Paul

Sainsburys wouldnt even insure me. And thats on a 1.4 RT, 1 ncb 21 years old (me not the car :) ) And I work for them! They said it was because I was a student...which seems a bit odd because being a student doesnt add anything to the price as its a low risk group. Tesco wanted to rape me when...

Leaking sunroof? Was it anywhere else? It could be on the seat aswell, but you wouldnt notice it as the seat can absorbe more before it was noticably wet. Also check for any damage on the water runner things on the roof. Also think about removing the panel that covers where the seatbelt...

Yes, but that has a few drawbacks. 1) A digital camera which arent cheap, and definatly arent cheap enough to leave in your car on the off chance you may have a crash. 2) Would suffer badly in the cold damp conditions that our fantastic British winters (and summers) get. 3) A bit more of a...

That link is wrong btw. It should be http://www.k-tecracing.comhttp://www.k-tecracing.com not co.uk Paul

Or just not speeding would be a better choice. Speeding in a 50 zone isnt to bad. But speeding in a 40 or lower I personally cant condone. Paul

Ok then, a 1.8 16v it is. Now all I have to do is save the money. Oh and find a decent car. Thanks people. Paul

Oh, you did it already. Damn slow dialup and slow typing. Well I was doing it one handed from my bed...dont get any ideas! I am ill! paul

Actually a lot are open 24/7. I know mine was, I was in the middle of scotland at 2250 on a sunday. And they picked up straight away. They told me exactly what to do, and sorted everything out for me, including a tow back to endinborough. Which was a good 3 hours away (we were staying there)...

Thanks for the info. I will be getting an AA checkup done on any car I think might be the one for me. But I wil be able to do a little checkup myself before I call them. Whats the difference between the valver and a 1.8 RSi? Would you suggest I look at the valver or another car? I already...

Hello everyone. I am looking at getting a phase 1 1.8 16v. Or maybe even a phase 2. Phase 2 was the one that was vertually the same as a phase 1, but more rounded wasnt it? Anyway I dont want one of those new fangeled ones, you know the ones that look like sponges. Anyway, what kind of...
