if he setles up outside of insurance,
whats he going to do with his car??
also, normally the £500 excess only applys if your claiming your own damage,
ive claimed twice when i was 18,
my renewal will be 700 (0 excess 3rd party) on a 1.2 n ill be 20
with mods declaired,
i had 4 new valves,
and didnt have the valves reground,
all new gaskets and stem seals,
water pump
timing belt and tensioner
cost £180
was the extent of my rebuild
everyone seems to think itsa million pound job every time,
worth havin a look at repairin it, cz if ur lucky,
it cud be like...
by the swastikas id guess it was a racist attack,
basically jelous racist c***s,
some people are just wrong,
attacking a mans car's for pussys,
thats insane,
where was the owner of the scooby from does anyone know??
i was pulled up for not havin legal rear lights, (black ones)
unless they give you a VDN (vehicle defect notice)
then theres nothing they can do except give you one the next time,
thats all they can do for something like this,
means you pay a small fine, and need to get it stamped that its road...
thought the people of CS might appreciate how NOT to modify a car,
he looks so 'cool' posin with that 'thing'

if its the same as mine,
then its not the mounts that are makin the noise,
is it the OMP one??
take it off and look on the bottom of the mountin points on the brace,
thats where mine was rubbing against the metal of the chassis,
look on the strut brace,
is all the paint scrapped off underneith...
valves are like £5 each lol
new head kit wit stem seals about 40
new water pump (might as well) 40
new cam belt 40
new head bolts £2 each
get ur mate to give u a hand,
bish bash bosh,
assuming its only bent the valves, can do LOTS of damage,
mine went at 76K
only bent 4 valves,
me n ma m8 fixed...
take my advice,
NEVER neglect to change ur timing belt when it needs,
mine was due at 72k, 4k later jst before i got it done,
it snapped whilst i was driving,
i was lucking and only need 4 new valves, and a new cambelt and gaskets,
tho i will say, f**k payin that much just to have the belt...
was wondering,
is there any different between coilovers to fit and mk2ph1 1.2
and coilovers to fit a mk2ph1 172?
im guessing the ones for the 172 would be stiffer and the front,
but are any of the fitaments different??
lol at tweeters in the rear,
jst drag your soundstage to the boot,
i might go to a concert and face the wrong way sometime
wud give the same kind of thing,
you only need left and right sound,
i never use my rear speakers,
mainly because i never use my rear ears :P
why dont you just say you didnt get a cover note,
so he didnt use the car because you didnt think he was covered,
and you'll be damned if you paying for cover you didnt get.
surely if you OWE them the money,
they have already supplied the service,
they seemed pretty cheap when i looked at them...

Got in the car today to go to work,

kept seeing a black clio 182 in pitsea 2nite,
had a clio sport sticker on the rear quartre window,
next to a ktec sticker i believe,
sitting on what looked like turinis and black lexarse lights
cheers wallop,
intended to use a 0awg wiring, wit a 150a fuse,
i shouldnt need no.5 because everything in the engine bay is earthed to the chassis, and so is the battery.
where do the other 3 points on the fused distribuion block go??
to all the other battery connections in the engine bay...
