No worries - I guess I was a bit defensive With regards to the running costs - I do worry about them a bit but when I was doing research before, everywhere seemed to say that servicing etc was pretty cheap and so the only noticeable cost increase would be in petrol which I felt I would be able to handle since I won't be using the car to commute. That said, it is the only unknown I have about this whole thing so guess I can only find out in practice...

Haha - I don't think I've ever had a quote <£1000, regardless of car

Well for starters I'm employed now so you need not worry about that. It was bought off my brother at a discount rate and not money up front. I worked throughout my time at uni originally with the plan of saving for travelling. Decided not to travel and so have a few thousand set aside in an account which is how I can afford to handle set-up costs. Hope that answers your question...

Finally got round to trying this. First put my mum on with her 3 speeding convictions in the last 5 years: Took off £469 Added my dad with 0 convictions/accidents: Lost another £306 Total saving: £775 = 32% of original quote (of £2393) New quote equals that of when I had the VW Golf in Manchester under just my name

Fitting a tracker may not help - I was quoted an EXTRA £400 if I fitted a tracker

...on the A3 going into London

The cat looks 'shopped Reflectors looking sweet though

Yeah I saw that write up - hadn't even heard of electromagnetic sensors before that! But I am just a bit fearful of doing it myself having absolutely no DIY experience Good to hear that the EPS200 has been tried and tested successfully though

Yeah the greater field of vision is what I'm hoping for. How much did yours cost including fitting? Because I know a few members of this forum have the PD ones and rate them but I'm working on a budget and these EPS ones are working out £100 cheaper (installation included) than any of the Parking Dynamics ones I have found...

Since I will be parking my Zed on the street in London I expect to be squeezing into a fair few tight gaps! Therefore, I have been looking at possible parking sensors to aid me in this and the best value for money seem to be the EPS200 - one of those electromagnetic ones that doesn't require bumper drilling. From my research I'd say 80% of people gave them positive reviews, but AutoExpress.co.uk were not such fans. I was just wondering if any of you guys out there have this installed and if so, how's it working out for you?? Cheers

Ah nice - will have to keep an eye out then! I think it is getting brought up here once it has been IVA'd. I should be driving her by now but been plagued by hold-ups Lol - that's what I'm hoping for!

You may want to relink with a link that isn't for mobile devices. Took me ages to actually see the listing using the mobile link. But that could just be my incompetence Anyway - good luck with the sale!
