if i did get a valver it'd be more around the grand mark, but i think i'm just gonna get a trusty diesel witha round 100k on it of some sort just to get me through the winter
with prices ;)
it'll be definetely coming across as theres some other work i want doing at the same time. cambelt change as it was winey, new fluids, cam cover leak sorted (i think lol) as theres oil collecting in the recesses behind the fuel rail cover, manifold matching if you do it, and...
fully prepared for the insurance to write it off.
but the insurance have said that i can buy it back due to its rarity.
just had a pleasing provisional quote off cliospares to do all the body repairs and the such, but this is something that needs repairing so thought i may as well do it...
just after a quick quote on how much people have paid for this / can expect to pay for this.
following my small bump, the airbox is smashed and the battery area shunted so decided while im getting it repaired to whip the new battery into the boot and then use an open induction kit in its...
had a punto before and liked it for what it was. also know what im looking for. looking at the 5dr as its less desireable than the 3dr and most arent owned by boy racers.
looked at the 306 TD's but dont know that much about them yet.
ali - would have offered to buy your williams but your...
been considering getting a cheap runabout whilst i do my car up over the winter, so just looking for possible ideas.
the budget is really a grand, but wanted to spend 400 lol
i've been looking at a valver / rover 400 / 106 rallye / 5dr punto
pros and cons to all of them, but dont...
lmao, get in line ;)
benji - I would have not claimed especially as its put my insurance up by a grand, but i hit and damaged a sign and pavement, so that wuold have cost me over a grand, plus the car had to be stored in a police compound, and thus i'd need to pay the fees for that.
kiza -...
chis- I've already contacted a few people for parts so that shouldnt be a problem, i'll know whats happening with the car on thursday so will pm you asap
ad- maybe thats because it was a theft? did they give you a refund on the money on your insurance or transfer it to a new car? mines 1200...
well im in stoke-on-trent, so depends how far away you are.
if you can do the actual repair then i can get my local place to spray it up :)
pm me whatever you think it may cost / where your based
if its written off, which it will be, i wont have insurance as its cancelled in order to pay me out, which is the whole point hence i've gotta reinsure it
easier to track the clio as not planning on spending vast sums of money on insurance as my insurance is just over 2k for my normal policy due to this crash. so idea would be to work on it over winter, and then insure it just for summer on a lesser mileage policy which is more affordable...
isnt that straight forward when all the little bits get added in at renault prices lol.
airbox and battery are about 200quid before you start - robbing b******s :dapprove:
I'll know by thursday if its written off or not. If it is, it'll be going straight to cliospares for a full repair, then will be fully stripepd out slammed and caged with yozza sport system cams etc. And then i'll buy a second car to tottle abuot in like a rover :)
I'd need to replace the...
cheers guys :), support from cliosport has really made me feel a lot better about the crash, so just hoping that the ending is a good one! in the meantime i need to get a bike of a crap car lol
lol i know, she looked so sad sitting there :( ah well its the perfect excuse to keep her in the driveway and make her into a silly car
Wheels are mint not even kurbed lol, the tyres just burst
admiral will let me buy the car back, as i've just been talking to them on the phone, which is good. So i'm planning on turning it into a track **** and buying a second car :)
