;) Like a ninja.

Good forum but not enough snap crackle and pop anymore.

Keep it dry and out of sunlight.

That would be due to the duff Lambda sensor. They cost £30 and can be fitted easily - Generic part on 99% of cars and will improve the MPG no end. My Mk2 Mondeo had the same problem years ago, i was getting 15mpg. After replacing it, i was back up to 30mpg (mixed).

That is pretty steep for a belt and water pump. £30 - Gates/Goodyear timing belt £60 - OEM water pump £30 - OEM w/p gasket, cam cover seal (OEM) £50 - Various seals - Rear engine, cam seals etc The labour should not go over £150. I would aim around £250 with all the bits. Don't bother with...

I just wanted to see if he would bite.

I appreciate it is a heavily regulated industry and not every FA is so unscrupulous but I think it is fair to say that commission is slightly different to a salary. Unfortunately less honest people (read most people) will be more inclined to recommend a product which pays more commission.

Wow, really surprised at the number of people who don't understand opportunity cost. Old net salary before company car - £2000 New net salary with c/c - £1800 New net salary with cash option - £2300 If you have been offered a company car, your new salary is not £2000 net anymore, it is -...

Clean up the scratch and put some touch up paint on the bare metal. Failing that, some grease. Short term, it won't really matter too much.

They do, in fact they have the diesel V Power as well. There is at least 16 pumps there.

10 grand isn't 5 grand though. It is a valid point, while it doesn't apply to every car, it almost certainly applies to all Jags. Apart from the Mondeo one. I seem to remember you recieving and more importantly taking onboard the same advice about a number of cars, which is the right thing to...

They don't have to give it at short notice though.

$0......

Usually a killer deposit as well, which i am sure they won't mind witholding over the smallest infraction.

Were you with the girl with the ski hat fetish? Onwards and upwards.

:rolleyes: I think the OP explained it well in his post, his parents want to buy him something for a big birthday. I think you are confusing 18 for 28.

Motorbike Computer Holiday Watch Nice Suit Clothes Crocodile Shoes - £2500 Money towards a car - when you want one. Money towards uni Also content (adj) and contempt are very different. :)

If it is cheap enough, you can be quids in. My dad had the bumper damaged in a prang, he bought the car back for £1500 and pocketed £3000. He would have probably got £3500 for the car on a good day anyway, before the crash. Once cars are this cheap, Cat D makes little difference to most...

A friend has one, nice to drive and quick, but the mpg and oil costs are quite high. He said he loves his but he wouldn't recommend one. If you get a compression test from Mazda (£70) and budget for ancillaries such as coil packs, you should be fine.

How much was the second quote?
