    2009 or so mondeo

    Hi there, I have a 2 litre, aside from tyres brakes etc the only "repair" its ever had is a rear trailing arm bush. It is on 212k. Still drives nice and is averaging 40mpg around town. In fact in my ownership it has never been on a motorway so pretty impressive economy. Kind Regards Alec

    Inherited car - what to do!

    Just apply for a new V5, tick recently purchased no V5C so you don't have to pay the fee. Legal ownership is yours if you've been given the car. Really is as simple as that. Kind Regards Alec *edit* Form is here mate...

    Insurance - is it all just a ****ing joke?!

    And this paranoia and fear is why you will be why you spend the rest of your life paying far more to insurance companies than I will my friend. :p Kind Regards Alec

    Insurance - is it all just a ****ing joke?!

    And this is why I habitually lie and tell insurance companies what they want to hear. Glad it all turned out OK in the end! Kind Regards Alec

    The *Official* Eve Online Thread

    Thanks for swift reply. Put's me in awkward position because a tenner a month is almost so little that out of principle I'll carry on. But frankly since 2007 I've barely played the game. I had a 2 week spate a year ago and a 2 week spate the year before etc it's such a waste! My OCD is the...

    The *Official* Eve Online Thread

    Hi all, I know it's against the rules, if you don't like it please just ignore my post. But is there any safe way to sell a character for a bit of cash? I've not touched my account (other than settings skills going) in over 12 months it's just a waste of money but seems an even bigger waste to...

    True cost of bike ownership

    Why is everyone's insurance so much? I've only got a Shadow 500 but nevertheless mine was £170 p/a on the day I passed my test? And I live in a very, very rough area?! Kind Regards Alec

    BMW warranty issue

    Frankly speaking the warranty has been mis sold if they won't sort the problem. It's not on the list of exclusions? The new claim business is rubbish too. They probably spent all of about a fiver on labour on the first fix they can absorb it... Park you're are a inch from the entrance to the...

    Show Us Your Motors!

    Never the less using 2nd hand genuine parts you can have that all fixed for a quarter of what your quoting (Add a few £££ for labour at a body shop). As you rightly point out its not worth that much there is no point spending 2/3 of the value buying brand new OE parts. At least I don't think so...

    Why didn't I know this? (Police car red lights)

    Just to clarify the above, a yellow backed road sign means serious incident or fatality because of the hazard it highlights! Kind Regards Alec

    How close can coolant hose be to the exhaust?

    Hi there, Assuming the hose is in good condition then 1 inch is a safe gap. Kind Regards Alec

    MX5 Owners in here....bring your curling tongs

    I had a mk1 that did this. Ended up doing nearly all the hoses, a blank nipple on the inlet, radiator, pump, thermostat, housing. Everything except heater matrix before it stopped! Not wanting to depress you any further :p Kind Regards Alec
