What are CIS insurance like for mods? I posted this up while ago and I think that the response was that they are OK with cosmetic mods but they put your premium up for power mods. I phoned them about 10 minutes ago but the guy said that they have to check with someone for each...

Ahhh Im even more confused as to what it is now. I have just tried wat eviljohn was suggesting and it still makes the noise I was talking about so from that I would guess that it will be the drum brakes causing the noise but the brakes in general feel pretty sh*t so I think the front pads at...

I was thinking of doing that earlier eviljohn but didnt get a chance to as I was busy doing other things. The brakes were so crap earlier I am sure it is the front. I went to jack it up earlier but my jack is f**ked and it isnt wokring. Ill try and sort the jack tomorrow tomorow. What...

ivejust been out driving the car for the first time (only along the street and back due to no TAX etc :oops:) but that was enough to tell me that the brakes will need replacing as they really were terrible. The scraping noise they were making isnt a very loud noise (not as loud as I first...

Thanks dave. I might take you up on your offer later but first of all Ill wait and see what my dads mate says as he might be looking at it tommorow night.

The handbrake works perfectly. TBH I dont really know much about drum brakes so that is why I was wanting to see what people thought. If it is what you think dave do you have any idea how much it woul dbe to fix or is it something that is pretty easy to sort? Ill hopefully get pics up...

Ive just been to the car auction and bought myself an N-reg 1.4 RT (in Naples Red). I got it for about £500 and its on about 66,000 miles. The car is pretty much rust free which is a big bonus. There are a few problems with it though. Those that I know of are only minor ones just now but I...

How much did that cost you if you dont mind me asking? And if you do mind could you tell me anyway please ;)

thanks for all the posts - should help me. Eviljohn - Yeah it is Daves car im talking about.

Looks good mate.

its OK justin I managed to see them. Some nice cliosporters (there are some ;)) helped me out. [Edited by donsrno1 on 5/20/2005 11:58:58 PM]

I dont know if they would be that old as I dont know the age of the engine but thats what I thought anyway. What sort of price are you looking at to have it changed?

thanks. What about the head gasket- I would imagine that it would be OK for a while yet but when do they normally go? With the cambelt is it supposed to be 70,000 or 5 years (whichever comes first) or do you only really have to pay attention to the the milage? Should it be OK would you...

I was just hoping some of you could help me out and give me a few pointers. I am going to look at a Clio 1.4RT (MK1 Ph1) tommorow night (someone off the site) and was just wondering what sort of things I should be looking out for. I know that the rear arches are prone to rust but that has...

really liking that mate. Looks and performance.

What was that for Dan and at what age?

No problem mate - I was quite pleasantly surprise that I would be able to get it for that considering I would only be 18 with no NCD. I think you should get a fair bit of your money back from your insurance if you cancel. I think that normally they will pay you back in relation to how many...

Try with elephant in your own name mate. Ive not had a license for a year yet but I put in my details as if I had (for a valver) and it only came to about £1100 for me with no NCD and I am in a quite high rated area. A lot of companies have caught onto the whole under your parents name...

what model of clio is that lunner? By how much do you think you can reduce the weight of the car by stripping it out?

Nice car - BTW I take it she parked it;)

If you are putting someone else as the main driver and you as a named driver try CIS insurance. Most other companies have caught on and charge you about the same as they would if you were the main driver.

where are the pictures of it?? The link blink has put up wont work for me :(

this would have all been on your private test track that just happens to closely resemble a UK motorway I presume ;)

Does anyone know about using your NCB on a second car. My dad was phoning about this but was told that you could only use your NCB on one car and that he would have to pay the full premium on the other car. I was just hoping somebody might be able to tell me if there is any way around this...

I wish mate. Ive had a look and there arent many about for that sort of money. If anyone has anything them PM me or reply here :). One of the main things about this is that it does sound as though its in quite good condition and the last thing I want/can afford is to have a car thats gonna...

Thanks Tom. I didnt even see that list :oops:

anyone else got any opinions on this?
