That's odd... My postcode is KW9 and according to that link« I live in Kirkwall.
I live nowhere near Kirkwall. I live in the highlands of scotland :s
Will this make my insurance higher?
Anyone care to explain why the 182 cup is so s**t? I've seen this being said a few times but i dont know why.
Serious question...
Liam.
P.S... no point swapping. only real difference is the 2 exhausts :)
I've seen heaps and heaps on clios with the 'sport' badge stuck on, I recently thought that there must actually be a sport model, surely there wasn't that many people that put the badge from halfords in the same place!
I also find it very annoying when people say my 172 is a clio sport
Found a sportex for 200. Cheap enough will me for now unless I can get a standard one for less.
Got a quote from ness motors for a standard one. 1200 encluding VAT... Yeah, 1200!!
I had a similiar problem in my 1.2 16v. Just driving along normally and the next thing thecar started revving and there was no drive.
Turned out to be a tiny spring / washer thing in the gearbox had snapped.
I'd like to just pay the fine and end it all, save going to court and everything else.
I will post a letter with the £30 though, like you said.
Chances are, they wont reply!
You think i should ask them to conduct a test? or will that result in a bigger fine if it is infact illegal?
Also, do...
Also, anyone know what like these exhausts are? money is tight just now and this is the best looking cheaper one i can see.

Hi there, ive also got this problem, ive been told my main engine mount is goosed so ive got a new one. getting fitted at the weekend, if i remember, ill come back and let you know if the noise goes away or not!
Liam.
No they just told me it was excessive, i know my car is loud but i didnt even go over 4k rpm. i knew the police were there so i didnt do anything stupid but obviously they thought i did!
As this was the first time ive ever been pulled by the police in almost 2 years, i was un aware of this...
Hi all, so at the moment I've got a Long Life exhaust system on the car, which was on it when I got it, it sounds nice but its too loud and the tail pipes are horrid.
Tonight I was out and about and pulled out of a junction and next thing I got stopped for 'excessive noise' and got a £30 fine...
Money is a bit tight at the moment as I've got a few other bits to buy so it will be standard ones for now, if they go again soon then ill get the uprated ones!
Thanks for the information, I've mailed maynard but not got a reply yet? :(
