Re: Car insurance query

That seems high, but you haven’t said what model it is? I have the base V6 and my insurance came in at £380. I’m 33 with 5 years no claims and have also put my other half on the insurance who is 28. That was with Admiral with £300 compulsory excess and £200 voluntary I think. I’m assuming you’re bu...

Re: When someone parks their delightful SVR next your base 340

Awhh darlings! You're making her blush! Really do appreciate the comments though, choosing paint is always pretty nerve wracking. 8) Curiously, in the flesh I really liked the SVR's paint job. It's a very metallic, but matte silver. However, in the picture, I find the loss of that glossy reflection ...

Re: PCP engine blown. Are we about to get royally shafted?

I pity the person, who in all likelihood cannot afford an F-Type, and will get Royally shafted having purchased your ex-car! Ahh mate.. This has been playing on my mind a lot. Particularly after the rather brutal paternal dressing down I got; If I'd been a good boy and checked her coolant regularly...

Re: PCP engine blown. Are we about to get royally shafted?

The piston heads 1 and 4 are looking rather unhappy, visible gouges and marks on the surface and some somewhat less obvious marks inside the cylinders. Interestingly where the gasket has allowed water in, the v...

PCP engine blown. Are we about to get royally shafted?

Long story short, the missus is on her fourth year of a four year PCP deal on a fiat 500. The warranty was three years. (Yeah, any PCP deal which leaves you sans warranty is a terrible idea, particularly on a fiat. Unfortunately we'd not met when she took the deal) Last week she had a breakdown, blo...
