    Insurance for multiple cars

    Me and the other half have 5 insured between us currently. She's got 3 on a mulitcar policy at around £800 a year (2 x Minis and a Jimny). I insure the other 2, Jeep Wrangler is on a normal policy using my no claims and my MR2 is on a classic car policy at <£200. Combined its roughly £1400 a...

    Upbadging Nonces

    I was behind this beast earlier. The lesser known Ford S-Max ST TSX (It's a diesel). The sticker just topped it off nicely!

    I've noticed a CRX parked around the corner from me a few times recently. Not seen one in years.

    MR2

    I have a 6 speed gear knob, i'll check the condition and come back to you. I'll have those bits of trim too but they are silver

    Upbadging Nonces

    No photo because I was driving but I was behind an Audi A6 a couple of days ago with an RS6 badge on the back, along with the TDI badges still. Completely boggo basic diesel A6, not even slightly modified. Why? What's the point?

    Emissions MOT fail

    About 5 miles ago :). It had all filters, plugs, oil, belts etc when I put the engine in the car. It runs spot on so I can only assume the cat needs a proper clean out or swapping.

    Emissions MOT fail

    Yes the lambda and HC results being where they are suggest a good fuel mixture, but high CO says otherwise which is slightly confusing! What should I be looking for on the lambda readings? It has 2 precat and one post - would I need to be looking at all 3? Looking at voltage fluctuation I...

    Emissions MOT fail

    Not on a Clio, this is on my MR2 Roadster. Sent it for an MOT yesterday but it failed on emissions. HC and Lambda were a pass but CO was over. Picture of the results below. It did previously have an engine that was burning a whole lot of oil, so there is potential for there to be some residual...

    Just how many Revs is normal?

    lol at 2k gear changes! What did you drive previously, an HGV? N/A engines generally need revving much higher than forced induction to make power. 2k is fine for pottering about, but if you want to make progress you need to be getting up to 4-6k as that's where the power is (the little that it...

    My old mum's timewarp MX5 £8,000

    Probably best to update the advert to reflect that too, it's listed as London which is a fair old trek from Lyme Regis!

    My old mum's timewarp MX5 £8,000

    Lovely example, but I reckon you're going to need to put a lot more effort into the photos to get the interest at that price. I'd be getting photos of the underside, sills etc to show how clean it is. Good luck with the sale, if it's as good as you say it needs keeping that way as they are few...

    Ash's 147 GTA

    Absolutely, no idea how it ended up in here! It should be in the cars spotted thread! Could admin move please?

    Multi car diagnostic tool

    I have an Otofix D1 lite. Paid <£200 from Aliexpress (UK seller though so arrived in a couple of days) Uses Autel software and comes with 2 years out of the box. Its bidirectional too which very few are at this price point. It's bloody brilliant!

    10+ year old Old discs and tyres? - Bin them?

    Not quite how it works, the first 2 digits are the week number so 0525 would be week 5 of 2025 not the 5th month, but close enough when we are talking about 15 year old tyres! :LOL:

    After sales Key code, Clip program Key fob?

    If it's a key that did previously work, shouldn't it just need re-syncing to the car? I'd imagine there is a relatively simple button pressing procedure for it, rather than needing CLIP.

    Amazon fire TV sticks

    Couldn't tell you. My dad is the reseller, so I assume he's making a bit on it - I've never asked as I see it as decent value regardless. Price above is what he charges me, so I'm not making anything on it - just offering to help out a fellow CSer. I know renewal is a fair bit cheaper, it's...

    Amazon fire TV sticks

    I can probably help out. Not as cheap as some folks have mentioned in here, but something like £120 will get you access to everything for 12 months. All UK TV (Sky Sports, movies, Pay per view etc) loads of foreign stuff along with 20-30k movies on demand (many new/current) and about 7-8k TV...

    Saw this at Crystal Peaks in Sheffield over the weekend. Only 6 left on the road according to howmanyleft. Was in pretty decent shape for almost 35 years old!

    It sure is a bit weird. Assuming I've got the reg correct from the photo that is of course (which it looks like I have, make, model and colour all match)

    Shame it's SORN and has never had an MOT (well not since the electronic MOT recording was introduced!)

    Servicing

    I'm going to go against the grain a little here, but If it's just a general service (not belts) then most places should be competent enough to service a relatively basic 2.0 petrol engine surely?
