  1. That's because your mum has two cars insured with the same insurance company. Some companies (Directline is one) will allow you to use one No Claims Discount entitlement for 2 cars - It's almost like having 2 cars insured on one policy. However, you will not be able to use an NCD on 2 or more policies if they are with different companies. Although some companies will take in to consideration your NCD currently being 'used' on another policy - in a similar way to company car drivers who may get 'credited' some NCD etitlement from their company's insurance (if they haven't made a claim) if they haven't had insurance in their own name.
  2. JASO = Japanese Automotive Standards Organization MA means it's a motorcycle specification (for bikes with a wet clutch).
  3. Doesn't mention anything about it being modified by RUF in the Pistionheads ad. What RUF mods/parts has it got?
  4. Yeah I thought that may be the case anyway, as typically demand outstrips supply and therefore you can do this..... but couldn't be arsed looking it up! Still a bit of a poor showing having it for a few weeks. I mean, its probably just run in! He's spent probably a 1000 miles taking it easy....... then sellling it! Where did you get that price from, for his spec is at least 97k From the Porsche GB website. How did you get £97k? List is £79,540 inc VAT Bi-Xenons £705 Comms & Sat-Nav £1921 Heated Seats £269 Embossed Headrests £126 Crono Sport Plus £380 Tint Top Windsceen £68 Red Seat belts £163 Floor mats £72 =£83244 edit: +£985 for the 'optional' Porsche Tracking system, that you can't actually order the car without.
  5. He's not taking a hit on depreciation asking £86,995. List price for a new 'un is £79,540.
  6. From a well known car magazine... (UK spec Coupe, 276bhp engine)
  7. The tank for a UK spec Z is 80 litres. However, the fuel gauge is not very well calibrated, so that when its reading quarter-full you still have (in my experience) about 30 litres left.
  8. Why would you want to get in it?
  9. How about headlights that have a decent range?
  10. The crap headlights And the fact they only fit one (weak) reversing light, which means reversing down my long(ish), narrow driveway in the dark is a lot more interesting than it should be.
  11. It will cost you £105 to transfer a reg number from a car onto a retention certificate. You then have, IIRC, 12 months to transfer it to another car. If you don't transfer it, it will then cost another £25 to extend the retention certificate for another 12months. http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/en/FAQ/?id=REG_RETAINING#reg_retaining
  12. As you've said, an SAE30 mono-grade oil is the same spec as required by most air-cooled petrol lawnmowers. Try somewhere that sells/services lawnmowers (e.g. Gardencentre) as they will have cheaper (but probably lower quality) SAE30 oil and in 1 or 2 litre sizes. I use Witham oil (www.withamgroup.co.uk) from the local gardencentre in my 4-stroke mower.
  13. Just another reason not to buy the cheap 'own brand' stuff from supermarkets.
  14. It depends on what it says on the bottle. If it says 'Concentrate' then you'll need to mix with water. If it says 'Ready to Use' then you can pour it straight in.
