Hopefully collecting my new car on Saturday so old Olga has got to go I'll list the good points first: History up to 77k miles 4 good tyres easily less than 5k miles on them New battery <1year old New water pump ~6 months ago Tax Feb '12 MOT July '12 Clean Interior Reasonable mileage Slightly lumpy ...

Not sure if they're still doing it but ASDA was selling Castrol GTX 15W40 4l for £10.

This was a couple of months ago now though, needless to say I have a couple sat in the garage

Sorry for the sweary words.

Made me chuckle though.

I did, can't really say I noticed a difference. Maybe slightly smoother but nothing clear cut.

Drove my 360 back from Edinburgh to Norwich in the weekend (home from college) without so much as a squeek. To top it off It went for an MOT on monday and I've been told all it needs is a little patch of welding underneath and my horn fixing! Long live the 360 sm4 Depending on how much my payrise is...

Yeah they are. Also the whole front of the car can be removed in about 5 minutes. :lol: 8) 10 minute job tbh. I have had a bit of unwated practice though, the amount of times I have pulled mine apart to fit electric fans, fix the rad, fit the FMIC, fix the turbo oil return.... :lol: Sunderland's ne...

Sounds aweful when engine runs and can see it wobbling. Managed to get home alright last night (...

Not a clue what it's called, all I know is my one on my drivers side door is buggered.



Tiny little thing I know but pwetty please?

Bloke is coming round in a bit to fit me some tyres. After that I think I might be off to make a video of my own, Watch this space

Just got my post and unwrapped my lovely new rear light cluster courtesy of Mr volvosneverdie. Had kinda forgot about it the other day and suddenly realised I'd just sent a random guy I'd never met money over the net. :lol: I'm still pretty new to the site and the 300 scene in general and starting t...

good call dude. im going to snag one of those bad boys on payday. Sick of using the stock scissor on uneven ground/ice. Wobly wobly! I'll also be getting one on payday. Gutted that my original volvo jack that came with the car got bent at the same time the jacking point did :roll: I loved the whole...

Insurance companies also won't asy anything until you make a claim. they dont care because you are paying them and as fronting invalidates insurance they dont give you anything back. But if you manage to get away with it and they do pay out it's just another thing thats increasing honest peoples pr...

co op does it for like £1600 for a year if you go as a second driver and the first driver has 5 or more no years claims thats all i know, im going to try classic insurance tho And if you're the main driver (which i'm assuming this guy will want to be) it is also calling fronting -> fraud -> Illegal...
