Not complaining about the tester at all, it's the trader that should have put a bit more effort in pre mot imo. But I guess most customers wouldn't care, and the fact it's been fixed afterwards is good still.
Personally I don't mind stuff like play in bushes or even a dodgy valve, but when it's...
MOT passed on the AG yesterday, collecting this Saturday all being well.
A bit annoying that it got a couple of advisories on the MOT, they have sorted the bulbs now but it would have been nice to have a clean MOT.
I can't be the only person who gets fussy about clean MOTs, advisories like...
It's worth enquiring, that dealership (the one near Market Weighton I presume) is a strange old place. It's not a big chain I don't think, it looks and feels more like a family business when I've spoken to them, so they might be quite competitive.
Did Mick get back to you? I'd hold off ordering any parts until you've spoken to him tbh.
Also if he supplies the parts and something fails then you can just take it back, worth the slight premium imo.
On a 1*2 the water pump is easy enough to do later iirc, so you could leave that off.
And back in my day no one seemed to get the dephaser pulley changed, now people change it at every belt change. But then for the sake of £200 it does remove some risk.
Also might be worth getting a quote off...
I'd just go to Diamond Motors, parts plus the proper tools and the price isn't much different.
It's a bit of a trek from North Yorkshire but you can make a day of it.
I posted last week about how hard work they were to talk to, but seeing a couple of rougher ones this weekend just made me pay the extra and go for this.
I ended up dealing with them via email as it was far easier to get straight answers that way, then when I called to do the final deal and put...
I'm thinking along those lines, they've offered £3.7k for my Civic p/x, if they'll do the Clio for the Civic + £3.5k I'll do it. They said they'll service the Clio but I'm happy to/would rather do that myself and like you say I won't use the warranty unless it blows up as it's just not...
I don't think this is a bubble waiting to burst.
More are getting written off, broken or snapped up for race series'. A 200 is the last ever NA hot hatch, ever, never again, this is it. I think prices will only go up.
That's nice, weird seats, but nice. f**king south coast again though, I...
