Hello to all - thought I would log in to see if any of the old school are still here. Its been a few years! Join Date 06-02-2003 Steve V6 and all the rest still around if not a few years older! Maybe another night out! Just recovered from the last one

Hello and welcome

I went from dragging my knuckles on the floor to standing up straight then driving....beat that!

Good example of Renault! Exeter Renault Main Dealer; 1 set front disks, standard service inc parts and labour = £550. Local garage (fully qualified used to work for main dealer). same job, same parts etc = £195.

There for when you have a lady in the back seat and want to dim the lights to create atmosphere I think.

Theres a girl up the road from me who bought a car and insured it in her dads name. She then had an accident in France injuring someone and the Insurance company refuse to pay plus the French person is sueing for injury. The parents may have to sell there house to cover the costs and claims...

I think it was an excuse as your digits etc are illegaly spaced and the font is incorrect I think. Certain areas are doing a big crackdown on this plus i cant see a BS kitemark. ......Bad luck mate i think that was a bit petty as its not OTT.

i dont think OEM parts and patern parts are really alot different these days when referring to panels.

I got a cheap 512 from e-bay for £32 inc p&P and it works fine (MMC).

or just run a wire from the starter to a button of your choice and back to the battery.........Simple and saves £. Dont know what all the fuss is about the push start as there so over priced when you can do it yourself for next to nothing.

Parkers vaulations are not very accurate but give a rough idea on price. They used to be the bible for most dealers but times change.

Pug 307 springs to mind!

sorry to read you had an accident mate....:(.At least your not hurt and you can get another car. I can understand why your fed up though. One way of looking at it is the new car may be better!!!! so something to look forward to maybe . :D

Quote: Originally posted by James on 24 December 2004 Thats it, had enough already. I was in Tesco Express and a woman asked if I would mind waiting for her son to buy a throw away camera. He refused to leave until he had a photo of my car. I really thought no one would be as interested...

"For someone to say a Williams is not worth 5.5k, shows: 1. Nievety and lack of knowledge on classic cars 2. Lack of understanding of basic economics such as supply and demand 3. A self centred view of the world (i wouldnt pay 5.5k so it cant be worth it) 4. Lack of knowledge of...

Thats a ridiculous speed in a 30mph...You deserve to be banned to be honest.

23 years of fixing my own/friends cars and having mates who are good mechanics so pick up alot from them over time...Plus reading and asking when I dont know how to do something.
