  6. To claim....or not to claim....?!?!?

    I can only comment on how Greenlight Would view it, but i think all insurers will be similar

    If the Vehicle does not have a valid MOT it should not be driven/left on the Road. Therefore the vehicle would not be insured if an accident occured with no MOT.....If the vehicle was parked off road say on the driveway and got damaged then the insurance company may still payout but that would be down to individual case circumstances.

    Some insurers will cover you drive to a pre-booked MOT at your local MOT centre but you need to check with each individual policy (Two of the underwriters we use exclude it in the policy wording).

    Basically if you want the answer if a vehicle is driven on the road without an MOT am i insured then the answer is most likely no.

    Kind Regards

  10. Clutch slip, or normal behaviour?

    Entirely a matter of choice G. I wasn't sure :shrug: Bought an Exeedy oem quality jobbie for £66 just because it was ridiculously cheap, but I had been looking for something a bit more beefy for months ..................... and naturally the day after I ordered the Exeedy the ACT popped up under £200. :doh:
    This means Liana_J is a very lucky mare indeed as she has acquired said Exeedy for a trifling £40
    In use the ACT is just as easy to use as stock but bites harder and sooner as one would expect.
    I don't spank mine everywhere certainly, but when it is properly warmed we go from O to lift ummmmm briskly.
    Oddly next on shop list..........4 new tyres. :rolleyes:


    As the slippage is under revs rather than load I did wonder whether it was spring related rather than plate related? Either way it was going to get replaced!

    I have a clutch issues thread about 6 months ago G. Exactly the same. Nailed it from lights 4 up. Car filled with clutch smoke. Son and his mates well impressed. Not! I was frankly unimpressed with a duff clutch under 70k when most of those were allegedly commuting on dual cabbageway.

    Otherwise drove absolutely fine. No problem with slippage uphill in high gear which is when I expected slip. Just on giving it beans from standing, which as I rarely did meant I got another 3 months use out of it whist I hunted down my choice of replacement.

    I shall now retire and watch the "which clutch?" deliberations.

    I vote ACT HD "Street" :D

    Overkill for a stock TSport but for the above reasons I regard stock as weak.

  18. Cleaning Engine bay plastics

    in General Celica Discussion

    Sly, no one seems to have answered your Q re what Compound is. It is a fine grinding solution ie an abrasive which is good for bring a shine to clear plastic, but you should lacquer them now or the haze will return as in effect you have sanded of the original glaze or what was left of it.

    The white left on your engine plastics was the fine grit of the compound which becomes visible as it dries.

    I just use soapy water and whatever tyre blacking product I have to hand.
