Insurance can be a pain in the ass as of the optional extras. People class the cup packs as a extra and therefore the insurance companies hike the price up. Im 25 with 4yr ncb and they want £706 full comp with £150 excess. Check the insurance before you get out there buying, also use that as...
I had the same idea bill, but i was looking for a standard version. My best mate is a really good ford mechanic so therefore on some of the lesser probs he could help me out.
Its the engine changes / rebuilds that scare me with these things.
£2k is nothing, 2 months savings...
Im more than happy to buy a cossie, but the gf is on my case as she likes the clio and does not like the cossie. I prefer them as mentioned as i think they are the bees knees even to own one for 6-7months. Obviously the parking of the car would be a problem as i live on the worth council estate...
Something like this would be what i was looking for..

Well as mentioned above, i will only get one chance at owning one, and im 25 in 2 days so therefore me insurance drops too £900 for the cosworth. As for parking it would be parked on the raf camp during the week, then when i go home would be the only problem.
Its a chance of a lifetime but i...
escort was £12000 for a standard M reg, was hoping for £9,500 for me 182 then £1500 px for it.
Owe £6500 on the clio through a bank loan as i bought it with cash. Thinking that i can buy a clio in 2-3yrs time....maybe not the escort again.
Been thinking that i would never be able to afford this kind of cash again, i own and run a Clio 182 and was thinking about P/Xing it against a Escort Cosworth, its not that much more too insure as im on group 16 now.
I guess its a chance of a lifetime,
What are the +s and -s of a car...
I was just looking for a picture to confirm what he was using, dont want too be a geek or something but dont know the number plate checker against any other camera.
Alias
Well he was alone in the car, and he was looking into it. Im trying to find a picture of it, but i dont think i can. Sort of looked like a telescope but had a larger centre section. He had it resting on the door frame.
Driving up the A1 this afternoon outside leeds heading back too camp about 2pm when im tagging along behind a fiesta on cruise control at about 78mph as i like to overtake all the straggling traffic in the inside lane, when the gf spots a BMW police car on the hard shoulder with a police officer...
well done, but reg vardy are crap, and they know it after i rang head off complaining about the car i have.
Personally id sell the 182 and buy a BMW or something
1.2 16v is 75bbhp
1.5dci is 80bhp.
All depends on the driver, if your rolling, if its wet and what tyres your running etc.
Why, you making a list of cars you can burn off.? Well i had a 1.2 16v expression before my clio and i did drive it hard, but i thought about fuel ecomony. If you...
They said that i need to take them off the car, put new tyres on and send them off to michelin. If they find anything wrong i get some £££ back on the tyres.
Or i can contact renault..
I think it is from throwing it about, but i dont wanna be stung for the £135 fee for a tyre. Ive looked on the website for the nearest place and they say Kwik Fit.
Its only small cracks, i think its from doing 40mph around roundabouts.
Shhh...
You got a number, well the rear ones were the orignals i think. But the car is a year old. Tyres should last for at least 5yrs before they crack, they have been around 30-32 psi all the time.
Checking over the car yesterday and i notice on of the rear tyres has started to crack on the tyre wall. Sort of in between the crown and the top. The tyres arnt that old but i dont have a receipt to prove it.
As these are cracking would i be protected against this with Michelin, who should i...
As Chris 182, run it down to the fuel light comes on. Then run it too the garage. Leave the keys in the ignition and refuel until the light goes out & 30p. Run it too the garage and leave.
When it runs out of fuel, or they moan, ask they why they have no transported it by trailer / truck. Ask...
Mine did this tho it was front inital startup. Parked the car outside work all day, then came out to go home. Being a nob i pulled away and probably went too 40mph on this bit of airfield when coming to a T junction i put the brakes on nothing was there, or it felt like brake assist was not...
I actually never thought about putting it into the off topic section. Im sure a nice moderator would love to move it for me.
As to finishing the race first, id bet on a horse about 12-1 each way with 50p. Guarenteed to leave a nice profit as it pays 4th each way. Get it backed now as when the...
