    Auto trader... doesnt seem right

    Mines going up for around five and a half, mint 182, 50k on the clock, not holding my breath though! although there are still 182's with more miles on Autotrader for over 6k, they will never get that, mine is going up at a low price just to compete!

    Sold a Grey import?!?

    ford were gonna offer 5500 or there a bouts, when they discovered it was an import that figure dropped to 4000, quite a dramatic drop i am sure you will agree. i can see why that would bother them, the fact that when they send it to auction everybody who could bid on the car must be made aware...

    Sold a Grey import?!?

    who asks if the car they are buying is an import? i still love the car, but trading it in becomes a massive problem, no need for the arsey advice, i just wanna know if the dealers are obliged to tell me thats all.

    Sold a Grey import?!?

    It is defiantly an import, i confirmed it with the original seller of the car, in Derby. It is not a problem to me, apart from the fact Ford dropped there trade in price by almost 1500quid! therefore resulting in me not getting their special finance deal! Gutted aint the word! i wondered why it...

    ***Tyre Poll***

    Had GSD's on front for a while now, i like em' but when i get the cash gonna put Exalto's back on asap! they just 'feel' better. But the GSD's are a very, very good substitute, good grip in wet and dry, but i have noticed a little more road noise.

    182 Air Filter and/or Drilling?

    I must agree with mods not being cost efficient, it easy to just waste cash, i am having second thoughts now, i rang a local motormania and they just added another £10 as they have to 'pay to have it delivered in', fair enough but they could state that on their site. taking the price from...

Personally i cant belive they can insure it i...

    My little trip to Renault!

    Always sell private if you can, dealers are like sharks how they skulk around your motor. I had a 1.8RSi and when i asked what i could trade it in for they offered me £400, i know it was old but C'mon. Anyways i sold it private for a grand! As far as Trophys Vs FF, well in my humble opinion it...
