    After 7 years of driving there goes my clean license :(.

    Hi Chris I got the leaflet, but so many people (not me I wont risk it) have shot passed me through the first set of cameras and then come off into Ecton or Weston Favel their average speed was well in excess of 50. I agree on the accidents more now than before. 4 more vans and another...

    My car is now leaking oil!

    Stokesey I found Camden unhelpful when I went to see them before I bought my car from Motorpoint. Corby Motors in Kettering so far have been much nicer to me and charged me £5 inc P&P for an english manual, Camden did not get back to me.

    Insuring a Euro import

    My insurance company never asked where it came from (imported from Motorpoint). Had a cat1 alarm fitted and this reduced my insurance from the standard uk Renault alarm by approx £80.

    After 7 years of driving there goes my clean license :(.

    Digital ones in Northampton are mounted up and over a dualcarageway in the shap of a large Tstarting from the central reservation so that the cameras look down on oncoming traffic. At a distance they look like a funny street lamp. The cameras are quite small and have infra-red lenses so they can...

    After 7 years of driving there goes my clean license :(.

    In Northampton over 180,000 people have been caught speeding in just over a year, one camera alone has made over 1 million pounds. Northamtons population is only a little more than 180,000, at this rate everyone will have points soon. I pass at least two fixed cameras each day, and at least 1...

    Yes GR I do like a polished car, it always makes me feel good when you see a perfectly mirror polished surface. Neigbours think Im mad I have been known to clean my cars in the rain if the urge takes me.

    how much

    Im no expert as I have a few contacts that do all my work for me for a bottle of wiskey. But that sounds very expensive, you can buy a half decent second hand car for that price.

    172 mileage

    244 miles (only had it a week). Spent more time so far cleaning and polishing it than I have driving it, 5 hours driving, 6 hours cleaning, this will soon change when my holiday is over. Wayne do you live in your car? Has it been moded for space travel as you must be getting close to Mars...

    Is the standard 172 alarm insurance approved

    Imports come without an alarm, but you can always get one installed that is Cat1 approved at between £200 to £400 from the savings you make on getting an import.

    Rain (Hyper-) Sensitive Wipers

    I want to know this too. Tested mine for the first time today, they worked ok at first then they would either not wipe to the point when I couldnt see anything and had to manually switch them to normal to wipe the screen or would wipe several times then stop again. Tried moving the sensitivity...

    I whooped the GTi

    Enjoy your car, you are very lucky to have such a nice car at 17 I had a 1.3 litre Escort. Just dont be stupid! When I was 17 (25 now) my friends would race each other, two ran into a wall at 40mph lost control on a corner, 1 hit a stag and rolled the car into a 6ft ditch. I have seen a lot...

    HAHA, funny race with a ’Stang 5.0 V8!!!!

    If it does 0-60 in 6.4 it is only 0.2 seconds faster than a Mk1 clio (evo stats), a clio should do 1/4 mile in 15.01 approx so why did you think you would get toasted? With these stats it is down to the driver and since it was a woman (joke) you should have toasted her especially as your clio is...

    Sick or what

    I had to have my last cars passenger door resprayed sanded and filled plus the rear bumper sanded and sprayed (reversed into concreet post). Cost me £45, they matched the paint perfectly, car was two years old at the time, could not tell it had been done. £800 is an awful lot of money no...

    FAO Nick Read

    Hi Nick I have to agree with teachers pay being sh*t, my sister is a teacher and is 28 and makes just over 20 grand, also has a Masters degree. For the required qualifications teaching is the lowest paid career. But as they say teaching is a vocation/calling, ye right! Colleges are no...
