I just did a quote on a 200 cup and its exactly the same premium as my 172 cup? wtf i thought it would be s**t loads more.

You will have to pay are fair bit because of your age but like Ronnie said, add female family members. With my mum on my policy it saves me nearly 500 pounds. I found elephant to be one of the cheapest so i am with them, but there are others. Use the search funtion of the website as loads of...

Is this the plastic strip? I can get it to move about a bit but i can't get it off! The other places it looks like it could be leaking from? or (but i think its unlikely as i don't think there is actually a hole here!!) The water is def coming into the boot at the join (see below)...

I suddenly thought about that last night and went out and checked but it is at the bottom, that would have been 2 easy!!! Its driving me insane too!!! Its worse i think on mine when i have my car facing up hill, but i aint sure. Going to have a good look at it now. I will give the loom...

If your doing the aux belt would it not be worth getting all the belts changed while your at it?

okay thank you, haven'y had a chance to have a look today, but should be able to to have a look tomorrow, so with any luck i will have some idea where its coming from.

Thank you for the help, i will get on it today... I think it may have had a new panel but not sure, but has defiantly had a new rear bumper. I will give everything a check. If it turns out the panel hasn't been sealed then what will i have to do to seal it?

Personally I think black or maybe silver because they aren't the best looking callipers so making them stand out isn't great imo. If they are really nice brakes like brembo's then yeah, bright colours but if not then keep it plain.

Think thats kinda that point he is making, but obviously thats what porsche think a car should be like. I agree with u and thats why i wouldn't buy one!!

yeah think i might have to, but i'm pretty sure the join in the sheets of metal is where it is entering the boot, problem is i can't find where it comes from before that, or how it gets into the car, plus i don't wanna seal it til i know where its coming into the car in case it just pools...

I have done that already, but thanks. The leak is coming from somewhere above them!

Re: Water leak again!!! (just added pics, help needed!) K guys i have had some of the boot interior out to find this leak and have traced it to where there is a metal sheet join, just above the light cluster. (see pics). The red arrows are where its leaking from and the black is where the...

What, you have to much money to throw at that car!!! As for cup on the motorway, its fine and will cope fine, 6th gear would be nice. Although i had a mk5 diesel golf for a week and did about 500 miles in it and to be honest it was in a different league. Did a 6 hour stint and felt fine...

Mine have always been fine, even when discs we falling apart (literally). Have changed to brembo hc discs and ferodo front pads now (not 2500's tho). Seem really good but I don't do track days, just fast road use. What is the problem with yours? Not pulling you up or pulling to one side or...

Wow, thank you for such a detailed and knowledgable explanation. I like the idea of keeping everthing about the ball joint the same (altough a new gear knob is needed) but reducing the throw with a shorter linkage part, which i think is waht the part at the begining of this thread is doing!!

Am i right in thinking that 4 pots will increase braking force, which the standard brakes have enough of already. Over heating is more of a problem, so investing in improved cooling would stop this, so negating the need for 4 pots as the extra braking force will be unnecessary? I might be very...

well long story, but yes and maybe!! Was run into the other day and fully repaired as I wasn't at fault etc... It doesn't leak because of this though, They had a look into the leak for me and they re-sealed the boot lid seal, and said they think that was it. But it leaked again. While it...

This is going to be great... I reckon you try and keep it as standard looking as possible and then it will be a kind of sleeper! Better front seats, but keep the interior standard.

This is a good call, thanks for the advice becasue this is driving me insane. I hate not being able to fix something so simple! :mad:

So in theory its pretty simple then. When fitted to the car does the very lowest part of the whole system have to be at the same level for both normal and the short shift, so that the angles are the same? Like in this drawing. (hope this makes sense)

Its not the boot seal as i have had that re-fitted as it was leaking slightly, but not on this scale and the boot is still leaking, hasn't done it for a while, but noticed it this morning, we had very heavy rain the other day. Not getting it in the foot well, just the boot, although the first...

That's a much better idea think I was getting a bit carried away, plus if I strip everything out I may never get round to putting it back in.

Okay guys I know this has been covered a load of times but I am really struggling. A lot of water leaking into my boot and has been on and off for a while. 1st time i noticed it was the day after a very very wet drive though north Wales. The spare wheel well was completely full. Looked...

How do these work? I am very tempted to get one if they improve the gear change but would like to know a little more about them.

I'm very nervous of mine in the wet but to be honest I have no reason to be(its because of what I've read on here), it has never been anything but planted and grips more than i expect it will even in the wet. Have started trying to find the limits a bit in the wet now!! Tyre wise I have...

HELLO - think we should have a meet asap.

Saw this while browsing and thought it looked amazing, what do you think? Wish I had the money for it. http://www.fastroadandtrack.co.uk/frat/showad.php?adid=7399 pic

I'm gutted for you, hope it does get fixed mate would be a shame to write off one with such low mileage. What happened? Were you at fault? Have you had chance to get it accessed for repair quote and have you already informed your insurance? It might be worth fixing it privately, then there...

Looks really great, I see what people are saying bout being able to see the thumb grips but like you said its the 1st one. I don't think it would look good with the carbon inserts and leather wheel. Personally I think if the wheel was stripped back a bit to make it a little thinner, then the...

+1 i need to know this as well. A paint code would be useful
