Well said Ricey! Insurers have you by the balls and they know it. Until the government or some form or law is passed the majority will be getting increased premiums over and over again needlessly.

Who do I need to PM for the 10% discount on ABD?

1997 Ford Fiesta 1.25l Zetec 62470 5 Door Silver £750 - Offers welcome Under 63000 miles on the clock and only 1 previous owner (2 in total). All the power steering, heated front and rear windows, electric windows, electric side mirrors, sunroof and alloys. MOT and Tax until November.

Looks good! What size material did you go for? Will be ordering some today!

Admiral increased my insurance for exhaust, lowered and plenum spacer! They wanted a few hundred quid more for wheels so I've got stock for now.

How hard is it to fit a new HU? Just remove old one, connect cables, earth it, voila?

Definitely going to be getting this done if I go for a respray over wrap. Front bumper is littered with stone chips!

What size sheets do you need for the FlyEyes if anyone has done it?

What happens when you've driven through dog poop?

She doesn't as far as I know! I've struggled to find anywhere online at a decent price. UnlimitedTuning do one for $105 + $45 shipping but they might be willing to reduce the shipping for multiple orders. I've been wanting one for a few weeks! They also do a chrome one or carbon - http://www.unlimitedtuning.com/perfUTR1.htm

I'm a web designer/developer Just about to hand in my notice tomorrow as I've been offered a job elsewhere! Worked on some really good projects with big name clients the past couple of years. I went to uni and did a degree in multimedia which had no effect on getting a job. I came out of uni and freelanced for 6 months, built up a bit of a portfolio which got me my first job and I'm just about to move onto my second! If you need any info just post in here or fire me a PM, just off to the computer for the night now.

You use a hose to connect the pressure washer to a water source so just get the correct hose connection for your tap B&Q have loads!

Thought as much! I wasn't there but the guy was insistent that it be added on even when my girlfriend told him what I do to my zed. Always trying to flog @*!# to people, winds me up! And I even found it on eBay for £20 if it was any good. £100 labour? Must be joking! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPAGUARD-SUP ... 110wt_1141

So a garage in Stockport offered £200 for my '97 Fiesta with 60k on the clock, saying that they would expect £325 at an auction. You can literally just stick the cars details into autotrader and 50 pop up at £600-900, £200 is a ridiculous offer. I wasn't there when they offered £200 for my other car but they were also very pushy on my girlfriend for her to take some sort of paint and interior protection at £125 stating that "red paint fades in the sun". What a crock, what would they actually be doing for £125? Just giving it a quick wash with a grubby sponge and then slapping some cheap liquid wax on?

Been using mine every week since I bought it. Nice bit of kit for the price! Probably won't clean a patio to a decent level as it's not that powerful but I keep it on a fairly wide setting on the car and a bit narrower on the wheels. You do need an adaptor though as the standard attachment just chucks out a powerful stream of water. Pressure washer + adaptor = £100 I think I paid.

out of interest, where did you get the cubby from? Tempted to get one myself but not if they're silly prices!

16 Remove the plastic popper in the front in the usual way. How? Just doing it now and can't get it out! Never done before so no idea what the usual way is nevermind, sorted!

Pro Bolt are the place to go! If you ask Sarah(Chillired) she might help you out if she's feeling nice! She helped me out a lot and I wasn't even buying the bolts from her!

The only thing I have against that is if the inside and outside lanes are clear, you decide to undertaken to make a point and then they hit you, it's your fault. Aren't there new police measures coming into place about undertaking? Where they can fine/give you 3 points for doing it when the inside lane is clearly free for overtaking the numpty? Instead of giving a fine/points to the numpty in the middle lane they're deciding to give it to people who undertake the numpty to prove a point as they deem it as dangerous. This thread just reminds me of every time I watch a police show on TV, everything about the policing and court system in this country riles me up. So many actual criminals get away with ridiculous things or very light prosecution and then someone doing something minor and a mistake for the first time gets @*!# on by the officer because he feels like it. /rant

Well I'm gonna clean it all up then polished plenum, new engine cover, cooling plate, hoses, grounding kit, new bolts. It's all waiting for the wallet to open nice and wide!

man this Berry Blast smells gooood! Just tried it out after using Megs Super Degreaser on the battery and fluid covers to see what it's like, I did half the bin lid as well so I could see a 50/50, looks good so far! Big engine degrease, rinse and dress tomorrow along with fitting RTCustomZ airbox conversion, engine bay bolts!

Couldn't see Japspeed K2 exhaust? Only had Japspeed decats under Exhaust > Japspeed.

Been for a drive in one of the twin air ones, sounded like a diesel, really loud and clunky. Think she wants 1.2 for the cheaper tax and better fuel consumption. I like them, look decent and drive decent. Hopefully I don't find many known problems with them or any that are quite costly. Thanks for the tips Lexx, found a couple of good threads on here

Missus is looking at a new car, said she's had enough of my Fiesta and wants a Fiat 500. I know they're literally the same car as the new Ford KA besides the outer shell and that's what you pay for, but it's a woman. She wants something pretty! Anyone had any experiences with them? Wives/Girlfriends/Boyfriends got one? Trying to find a members club online to see if there are any common problems but they all seem to be for the old 500.

I've got my rear side windows tinted limo black and was thinking about getting the rear done as well. What's it like for seeing out of at night? Don't want to get a rear tint if you can't see anything or hardly anything when driving at night!
