I'm with greenlight! 7.5K a year. had to send my current milage in and then I guess they check it come renewal time! They said if I go over I have to pay £50 penalty and thats it!
Made a silly mistake of not blanking out his reg! considering he said its had all the work done and still down as a 1.3! and as Mr Evil Giraffe said whats the point of paying for the insurance.....:dapprove:

And I know its my old car, but got lots of attention wherever I went!
I think its funny these days how young lads are willing to pay £1000's for insurance! (getting old! :o) I regretted paying £900 for the LCR! My dream car when I was 18 was a scooby or evo :evil: insurance was around £1700, but now that I could easily afford one I'm not really fussed as the...
Exactly what I would say! I hear of young lads (one near me) who have cars which I would love to own but yet pay staggering amounts of money for insurance, running cost's etc.... just be happy that you have a clio sport! and build up NCB.
When I was 19 I was running around in a 1.0 clio cos...
UPDATE! cleaned all the plugs up and checked all the connections, fireed it up and let it tick over for about 40mins took it for a drive and all fixed!
Takes abit to rev (seems to be holding back) ordering up some new plugs, leads and coilpack - so it will be like new.
Can lock thread now :D
I say just drive the thing! I have been always worried about putting miles on my cars...even bought a 2nd car to run about in....but then I thought f**k it ITS A CAR!! its designed to be driven!
cars have all come down in price so nothing will hold its value! I swapped my LCR for my Trophy -...
update - I have had a look at all the spark plugs this morning and found some slight water on them when I pulled them out.
Ran the car for a good 10 mins, came to give it some revs and it seemed ok. but then started up again.
Checked the coil pack to see if they were all firing and they are.
Right I washed the car today, thought I'd have a go at the engine too, cleaned it all up with engine cleaner - sprayed WD on the electrics and when rised off lightly sprayed water over engine. Left the car running for 5-10 mins. later this evening I came to start the car..fine! set off down the...
Lovely car! I was looking at getting one of these before the Trophy - when I had the LCR I was sick to death of putting fuel in it ALL the time!!!
Just a general run out would cost you a tank of the sweet stuff - I will go back to a turbo car at some point though...
but I do have a big soft...
jeezzz and I thought mine were bad! :o one of my mates did his own work and they were kerbed badly - on a accord type R, spent a whole week o them! but the end result was brilliant, alot of sanding and filling would be needed.
I'm getting mine refurbed this weekend for £225 for all 4 including...
This weekend mate - as I am on holiday nxt wed for 2 weeks, so they will be ready when I arrive home :cool: I haven't seen any of there work only on internet pics.....but they seem very good cutom service :D which is very good in my books!!
I could believe this!!!!!! the trophy colour ones are differnt to the 'standard' 182/172's more of a darker silver.....
It is the dash strips i'm talking about.
