Can't fault direct line for service, hopefully car be back soon.

http://www.auto-txt.com/home.php is the way to go if you can afford it

Sorry to hear about the car, I'll key an eye out down south, I never actually seen an inferno in the flesh so it will stick out a mile if its headed this way. Shame Cat 5 systems are so much money as this would prevent this type of crime.

They normally steam straight through red lights...

I thought I'd put this to the test tonight by accelarating hard and was surprised by what happened.. I expected a gentle cut of power but instead it felt like the engine was knocking really hard like thud, thud, thud.... Is this normal? I get no knocks what so ever during normal driving.

Every non-std part except cup packs? ;)

What causes the popping sound?

Its direct line that are charging me extra for the bits. They said the suspension doesn't increase the premium but the spoiler pack does. No consistency with these people. They recognise all the mini's packs but don't have a clue when you say cup pack for a clio. You'd think it would be in their...

The asked me what factory fitted options I had and I told them. What would you say none? Only takes one clued up assessor to state you have undeclared modifications.. I took this from elephants site: "Is your car modified from the manufacturer's standard specification? (e.g. alloy wheels)"...

I have discussed this with my insurance company and if they are not declared they are not insured. So if you smash your motor up you aren't covered for those items and could also void your cover. Apparently I'm paying £90 extra for the spoiler pack!!!

You were behind me, why the blinding fog lights?, no fog is Reading for over a week...

Fair points but why should I have to declare factory fitted options.. My issue with insurance companies is that they are clueless about cars. If I were to phone them up and tell them I am having my car chipped to reduce the power and make it more economical would they reduce the premium?

Yeah, I had to declare uprated suspension and body modifications not more than £250.

They are full of s**t, I think they charged me extra for the cup packs as I had to declare them.

Why hate them for that?

Just searching through some old threads and came across this. What happened in the end? Did l!ckeldev!l_2k1 get the £450 back, did it really have a megane hip in, was it bollox? Funny read.

Worst feeling in the world, I was driving down the the motorway and hit standing water at 80, couldn't see anything just had to ride it out, came through the other side about a foot off the central reservation. Heart felt like it was going to pound through my chest. Glad you were ok

Sorry, 182

I know a few peopel have reported this but has anyone found the cause? Past few mornings I've reversed out of the garage the handbrake has been stuck on.

Why don't the manufacturers configure the chips to the optimum config in the first place?

Give it a couple of weeks and there will be loads of places with stock. Can't believe people are paying that much. I might preorder a couple of PS/3's

Said like its expected..

Why did you decide to replace the factory fitted alarm?

I really should have read the manual more carefully, appears I've been turning it off every morning :(

Take it back anyway... Costco are a LOT cheaper... £40 last time I was there.

Thanks for this, it was the water level. Filled it up and they now work.

Mine don't seem to work, little spurt of water and thats it. Anything I can try to fix it or is it back to the dealer?

Important to remember stone chips are the result of other cars throwing stones up and the biggesst cause is tailgating on the motorway. If you do a lot of motorway driving keep your distance and you shouldn't have too many problem. Clear films can prevent chips but they can be visible when...

Its easier to setup a crappy yahoo/hotmail account and spam from that than using a SMTP relay, changing the MAIL FROM: address..

The addresses are spoofed, really easy to do. If you check the header you'll see where it really came from. In Outlook Express, right click message, properties. Details Tab..
