£5K for an engine? Really? Ouch. Sod that then, better off getting a new car

Imagine the scene: You've reduced the light output of your lights. Poor weather means you give it more beans than you should, and it's at night. You end up writing your car off, and in the process you cripple Harry Kane who happened to be driving a car on the same street and you had a coming together. Insurance man comes to check on the car as Mr Kane is putting in a multi-million pound claim for his useless legs, when they discover that you've reduced the usability of your lights. Suddenly you have no insurance cover, and every one is coming after you for everything. Seriously, don't bother. The MOT issue isn't worth worrying about, insurance most definitely is. If you really must, for shows and that, i'd be grabbing some stick on stuff that you can throw on during the day and then removing for the drive home.

Worst case on a 370 is a new engine, so £1500 covers that. Keep that as a slush fund and you're sorted.

Tbh I'd just be handing the whole thing over to your insurer and letting them figure it out mate. No way that's going to be more than the value of the car for the risk of write off, so might as well make life easier for yourself.

Both. Post-natal abortion knows no age limit.

Exactly. You're giving the wrong signal to following cars if they think they can just get round you as you must be stopping too, and then by the time you've got your indicator on it's too late. Stay closer to the dividing line, and indicate much earlier.

Not exactly helpful if the only reason you can afford one after three years is because they're now in your price range though. You may have a grand or so as a slush fund, but £10k? I'd be amazed if 1% had that.

Is this from the new car warranty booklet or the used car warranty booklet? Used, the 3-10 year one. On a new car under EU block exemption rules you're able to do a lot more without worry.

Nope, just you.

Can we get that without the c+p junk please?

Warranty booklet exclusions below. Better than I expected, but you could well find yourself being stuck with the cost of a new engine should you have an aftermarket exhaust fitted. Damage which has occurred as a result of any accessory being fitted (unless the accessory is approved by the manufacturer for use on the Vehicle and fitted according to instructions provided by the manufacturer of the accessory). The consequences of repairs, conversions or modifications carried out by firms not approved by the manufacturer

But what does it say in the contract you signed? That's the supporting documentation they'll use in court, and even if an agent has agreed otherwise after the event they will certainly still refer to the original terms you agreed to. 50/50 then if a judge takes your side or theirs.

Check the policy wording very carefully with regards to mods. You may well find that they will not cover any part of the vehicle if you have even the smallest mod on there, which they are entitled to do.

There's a website dedicated to it, it's got some proper dodgy parking on there

No, YP'edLAC! :lol:

It is fully synthetic, it'll be absolutely fine in the Zed.

You're nearly there... Although I don't know if you're the grey or the yellow car, so it's 50/50 whether it applies to you or not

NONONONONONONO. 350Z owners should pride themselves on their parking, and not take up two spots like other parking mongs do.

Nah, people aren't that intelligent.

I do that though. However, I do it as a favour. I take care of my cars, and I assume people that park miles away are as well. By parking right next to them I'm helping both of us, as that means there's one less space for numpties to park in.

Neither. But the first ones will suit the car better. The second set will look cheapy nasty I reckon.

Well no, they're not. The 050As are excellent.

Nice, isn't it? I was shocked, and tbh I'd rather they just spent the money on the cats (it's a heavy old lump, can't have been cheap to ship over) but they may have had a local company do them for free so you never know. You can watch the cats here if you want https://www.blindcatrescue.com/watchus.htm

A good reason to avoid Asda Sorry to hear this, some people need shooting.
