Hope it was on airplane mode when you took that

Seriously? dude your more likely to blow up a petrol station by wearing a tracksuit than using a phone, fact

You can lock the handle on some of them, it's pretty rare in the UK these days but very common on the continent.

Yeah if you check the handly next time you will see a little flick catch on the trigger however the bars that go thru the handle for it to latch onto are never there (prob due to some crap UK HSE rubbish), its a bitch for disabled drivers, I know some of us who carry little bars so they can rig the handle to autofill lol.

Is one of your tail lights out? Or is it just a reflection making it look like the driver's side one is on?

 

[Firestar_3x]

Somebody pinch me.

Was that pinch or punch?.....

Also looking forward to some proper pictures.

I think that is the flash reflecting off the reflector thing in the light cluster rater than the tail light.

From what I remember this at least meets the latest spec of cheap chuckable and fun.

Couldn't own another French car myself, but enjoy!

 

[DM]

Good job Mike, you enjoy that.

No, he sold a Focus ST months and months ago for a Focus 1.6.

[MikeHiow]

do you not have to like, squeeze the handle to fill it up ?

If you look closely, you can see the pump is being held "on" with the filler cap.

But thanks for the comments, guys.

oh right even more fail then

 

[bledd]

How much is your insurance with this if you don't mind me asking? and how much was it on the ST

 

[MikeHiow]

oh right even more fail then

Needs must when it comes to a new addition, my other half needed something reasonable to ferry our little girl around in. This move has landed me with a car of my own, rather than an ST were share.

I'm not sure on Insurance, they wanted £40 for the last three months over the Mondeo, which would include the annoying £25 admin fee. I'm on a multicar policy though, so can't give you specific amounts.

 

[[TW]Fox]

So how much was it?

 

[Housey]

So how much was it?

Oh god, he's asked the quesiton............it's all going wrong now.

£2250 for a 130K (I'm told mostly motorway, and I believe it given condition), FRSH, one owner car with tax until the end of the year and an RAC warranty.

Dephaser pulley needs doing, I am in fact just leaving to go and price up the pulley and aux/cambelt bits from Renault, then a claim will go off to the warranty company (Although I've budgeted on paying for the bits myself as I had no idea they'd include the warranty).

Yes never simple, but the end result is a cheap 182 that is near mint.
