My poor clio got towed to Renault sheffield this afternoon....loads of oil smoke coming out of exhaust and sounding and feeling very much like i am missing a cylinder. God only knows whats wrong with it and how much renault robbing dogs are gonna charge me to get it fixed. AA Man said...

My old car got a wing mirror smashed off the car plus dent and painting (about a £1000) when i hit a roadworks sign which had blown over in the wind. Took me about a month of arguements with the highways agency and then the contractors but i got them to pay out in the end. Just be patient

Its quite a good little toy...i need one with all my points now. I am also using the feed it provides to provide GPS data for my SatNav (PocketPC) and it all works a treat. They are quite expensive and its really only usefull if you drive a lot of the time on unfamiliar roads...Theres no...

Why wont it work tom? Quote from TOMTOM.com:&gt;&gt; <A name=s13>Can I use TomTom Navigator 2 with my current GPS? The answer is almost certainly "Yes". TomTom Navigator 2 supports even more GPS devices and protocols than TomTom Navigator 1, including any NMEA 0183v2 or Sirf compatible GPS...

Cant believe you got ProComp to do the carbon bonnet.....they are a small outfit but the quality of workmanship is outstanding....had my old saxo covered in Carbon bits from them....they made a carbon cooler for the saxo and it was amazing the difference it made...looks mad as well....Give my...

I was just in court last week for a VASCAR 98.06 MPH on M1, they said to me the same thing, that if i was doing 95-96mph they could have given a ticket....i got 5 points and £250 in court after pleading for my license...if its 100mph exactly i think its 4 - 5 points without ban. 100mph+ can be a...
