alcyonecorporation Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 £40 a tyre fitted which seems good VALU, and on a Zafira B unlikely to be raced etc. Its either £102 for 2 Autogreens and tracking (found a 50% code and it needs doing anyway) or £180 for the pair of Avons... Decent for a high street deal, aye. I'd personally get the best tyres I could for cheap[er] online then get an indie to fit them, but precious few places fit tyres they don't supply these days. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillOrange Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Insurance got back to me and unsurprisingly they won't be fixing the MX-3.They gave a reasonable offer which was about 10% above what I paid. Quick call to the case handler and now I'm getting even more. It was really refreshing that there was no bullshitting and the insurance company was very upfront and reasonable about their valuation and quite willing to up it a bit when I mentioned recent full service etc. Now on a lookout for a new whip. I'm completely in tune with Bramz7 and have my eyes on early 9-3 in low pressure petrol turbo flavour. There's also a cheap 9000 with 2.3t...

SierraMikeHotel Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Liked for your insurance company actually paying out. I had a total nightmare the one time I had a car written off, really pleased you haven't had to go through that. alcyonecorporation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillOrange Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I have a feeling, had this happened back in UK, I would have had a different story to tell. I noticed they really hate wasting time here in Sweden. Yours and theirs. Accident was last Thursday, monies in my bank account already. Good turnaround I think.

I'd personally get the best tyres I could for cheap[er] online then get an indie to fit them, but precious few places fit tyres they don't supply these days.I usually do that,but my local place charges a tenner a wheel, which soon erodes any savings. Plus Amy will be with Charlie tomorrow, so she can pop up drop the car and go to McDonald's for half an hour or something. Having a look around all the usual suspects it's also the cheapest, must be the 17" size. Tyreleader goes quite pricy before I get out of the shit looking summer tyres! Just waiting for her to send me a photo of the tyre size so I can double check and I'll gib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R9UKE Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Posted this on the AS Facebook page this afternoon but definitely worth sharing here. Over in the Midlands at the moment and was driving with my dad this afternoon when I stopped to take a picture of a Saab 900. He said “do you want to see an old Morris Marina, guy has had it since I can remember”.
