One other thing, what value are we all putting our 1*2s at on quotes? I'm being a bit ambitious maybe but I put 2k for my low mileage flamer

Not for me, £270 with turinis and exhaust declared and 2k miles a year. I'm 41 with full no claims and live in the middle if nowhere with a low crime rate. Confused gets me quotes under £170

Guaranteed they'd never colour match my faded bumper!

To be fair they do look good, £70 though!

Thanks mate, I'm sorted though.

Good point!

Well it might have a battery issue but it just sailed through its MOT

Pretty sure but I'm going to go through it all again this weekend if its dry

Yeah that's an option, annoying to lose the keycode everytime but it would save the battery

I'm at a loss mate, I got the drain down to about 10milliamps with a bosch s4 battery that was new two years ago. My car is outside so I'd need to trail a lead to it which in winter isnt going to be a great idea.

Only problem is it's not near to a mains socket, probably 5-6 metres away. I still want to know what's draining it

Thanks @Darren61 , I've got a ctek for my motorbike but I leave that 6 months without use, surely I shouldn't be having problems after 2-3 weeks. One for the Christmas list!

I have wondered this, any recommendations.?

There must be something draining somewhere but drain tests have shown only a tiny mah draw

It was new 2 years ago, Bosch s4

Right, I thought I'd solved this by fitting a new alternator but still my battery is draining after a few weeks left with out use. Please can someone give me some advice on what to look for, truley fed up now.

Anyone used General Accident? (Aviva)

Anyone got my old 182? WJ04GKU? Now driving HF02XAM

You've only spent half its value on it! You must try harder!

I think a recessed ktec with 182 exhaust trim looks pretty factory😁

I was just wondering where you draw the line really, going by insurers rules even if you had your standard alloys refurbed in a slightly different colour of silver its declarable.

Genuine question though, who declares turinis and a ktec exhaust as modifications on their insurance?

Come to think of it a cup spoiler and ktec recessed too

Depends if Turinis count as a mod really, I know an 02 172 didnt come with them but does that count?

Greenlight £269, General Accident(Aviva) £154.

I've just had my Greenlight renewal, it's gone pretty skywards so I think I'll be looking for a new insurer

Interesting! I'd be livid if I'd just bought a set

I'm sure they could be produced for less than that and still make a nice profit. Thats a tenth of a major service

The problem I have with powdercoat on parts that need bolt force exerting on is that the coating cracks. Obviously around mating faces like stub axle mounts I masked off or filed back the powdercoat but the backs where the stub axle bolts clamp up crack the coating.

Shocking! 😆
