Do you have a vehicle you can tow with? You can hire car trailers relatively cheaply. I did this to pick up a car from Southampton once.

I don't know for definate that they will charge, i'm just guessing. Will call them later today and update my thread.

Hi all, I plan on calling Esure about this later today but though't i'd ask on here to see what people think. Basically, my car is insured in my name with the wife as a named driver. She had a stroke last december and only recently got her licence back. She has a full licence, but has a few...

Don't do that. If you have a bump and the insurance company realise it is your car you won't be covered.

The link above clearly states it is only a fail if they fail to relocate without assistance when lowered back onto the ground. As for the rear brakes, I would WANT my car to fail if the rear brakes weren't doing anything!

I don't have the ones above but I have some similar. They still make a bit of a beam, but it's much better than std.

You need bulbs with multi SMD's so they light all around, rather than a focused beam like a torch. Something like these (if it's 501 fitment like it is on my 197, I don't know though) http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501-194-t10-anti-bulb-warning-xenon-white-wide-angle-13-leds.html

Let her get on with it, just never ever get in her car again though

It's a very small percentage that actually have issues though, and most are sorted under warranty. My 197 is on 62k and is on the original 'box, and aside from being hard to get into first when cold it's tickety boo. The recaros are known to be a problem too, however a lot of that is down to...

Whilst I agree that the seller has put it in the advert, very few average joe public people would know what this means.

Vehilce Condition Alert Register, I asume its some sort of register of cars that have been written off by insurance companies.

Yep, V car. Sneakily hidden at the end of the ad like it's part of the spec

How much did you pick this up for if you don't mind me asking?

Partially rebadged the rear and cleaned it!

Sorry mate, didn't realise you were on here too!

That won't be a cup on a 56 plate mate. Cups weren't out until late 2007/early 2008? Link to said car?

Re: 197 Gearbox's No harm in asking, but it is extremely cheap as it is, if it were me selling I wouldn't budge on that.

So, who's definately coming? Chrisgti6 Weo (from 197.net) Harpham

Re: 197 Gearbox's Mines 57 plate, October 2007. In terms of price, you will get an R27 in that budget. I paid just under 6k for mine 6 months ago. Ok so mileage was a tad high at 57k and the belts are due now but even still I was pleased at the price.

Re: 197 Gearbox's Mines an October 2007 R27, it sits at 3500rpm at 70mph, so i'm asuming I have the later 'box?

Must have something to do with the 6.0 twin turbo V12 under the bonnet.

Nah, the top ones pull out from the front, no problem. I recently sprayed mine in satin black. The lower one, i'm unsure about.

I was under the impression it was 6 years on the 200. My 197 definately states 5 years in the handbook.

6 months = £137.50 12 months = £250 5 years or 72k miles.

^ this man speaks much sense! (although of course, I am biased) I used to love the LY ones, until I saw a few in the flesh. To me it doesn't suit the 197, it's best left on the Meganes.

And has much better views etc

So, it's either the above location, or Ogston res. Meeting at the Peacock @ Oakerthorpe 11am.

How about Alport height? Nipped up there earlier. It's here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari&q=alport+height&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x48798b17a654ebcb:0x724d2951b711e77f,Alport+Height&gl=uk&sa=X&ei=KVmNUPjLCYSp0QWqpICoCQ&ved=0CC0Q8gEwAA Here's a pic I took...

What time is good for everyone? late morning, early afternoon? I know we haven't settled on a location yet but at least we can decide a time!

Yesh I feel like I live there sometimes!! Not sure about the gullivers kingdom car park, isn't that place still running?
