  1. I think the onus is still on the owner, to proove the car is roadworthy.
  2. The price is the same? I've voted for the rebuilt one, as effectively it's a zero mile box.
  3. Today, I have mainly been tightening the fan belt that operates the water pump and alternator as it squeaked a bit. OK it squeaked a lot.
  4. As long as they have the correct BS mark you should be ok at MOT time.
  5. I've just had the rear calipers on the Corolla refurbished by Bigg Red, for 2 it cost just a tad more than buying one from a Motor Factors, in the finish of my choice. Buy 2 used seized ones, and send them off. Get refurbished and swap over, no off road time then.
  6. Going around roundabouts does make a lot of difference, I'm sure those from MK would confirm.
  7. Disconnect the battery for a short while or pull out the ECU fuse(poss EFi fuse).
  8. Build quality is not the same as component quality.
  9. Common problems, been solved many, many, times. I think you might find quicker answers using the search function
  10. Jaynes car. I was parked up next to it last year, but was not able to get decent pictures as she left before I had a chance.
  11. Find a local tradesman for a quote. But the seller must have seen a crack like that.
  12. Some MOTers don't like pressed plates. Not sure on the legal side of things about them.
  13. Just claim and use the company the insurance company want to use. Won't affect the ncb. What is the excess, £70/£80/£90?
  14. It was deleted by myself as it was not friendly at all.
  15. Airplane not aircraft is what the challenge was set as.
  16. No rear seat belts in my 1983 Convertible and it's a 4 seater.
  17. Jobsworth, sticking to the letter of the MOT Testers bible. Find a new tester.
  18. If there is no rear seats you may get away with no belts. Ask your tester.
