Im guessing, because theres a high chance itll make the car fail emission regulations.
In the odd case, it doesnt make a difference..
They are probably just covering themselves.
I have a spare on mine, but its useless unless its the back wheel which goes.. it wont fit over the brakes on the front.
But, I do have an AA card, which will get me out of a pickle, heheh!
Dont need a spare for MOT.. its only checked if its there.. if you get rid of the cage etc.. they...
Erm.
Too Loud - no one can test it.. its like, very very hard to test.
Emissions, ok.. can fail an MOT on it.
Not Illegal..If you dont tell your insurance, it might be, but depending on the policy it might not be! It all depends on the company I guess.
Id say..
The 16v/Williams/172/Cup/182/V6 are Hot Hatches.. Well, maybe the V6 isnt a hot hatch.. I dunno, but Id put it in the class above the rest personally.
Clios are Hatchbacks.. unless you in Europe and have a Saloon.
Superminis are as Tom said..
I went in Weights car.. and his exhaust was the loudest K-Tec one..
It wasnt that bad - its suprising. I thought it would be deafening, but I could easily talk on the phone whilst he was driving.
Dont think so..
Just buy a Haynes.. only £15.
I have one, dont use it loads.. but its come in very useful when I have needed it.
Or.. just go into Halfords and read an open one.. for a bit.. heh.
You wanna ring Phil at HIC.
Definetly worth a try - I always thought other companies would be the lowest, but he beats them the best by about £300 usually, heh!
Open door, bottom theres a sticker with the VIN etc.. its on there.. (no labeling tho, you just need to look for something which looks like a colour code!).
On mine, Phase3.. (same as Phase2) the side strips just slide off.. but be careful, as the pink clip always breaks apparently!
I just...
Ring up HIC and ask for Phil!
Hes doing great prices at the moment.
He gave me a GREAT quote the other week on a 16v (20, No NCD..).. just rung him now to ask a few things, and its gone down even more.. AND, the excess has halfed and then some.. Fantastic!
Erm, do what I did.. Take the opportunity to upgrade the whole brake setup.
I got some Calipers off a Williams (Same as 16v!) and then bought some new 16v/Williams discs/pads from Euro Car Parts. Cost £106..
MUCH better.. much much better than the standard solid discs.
If you dont...
