SamR380 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 is the old bit of exhaust with the cat box in worth anything other than .002p of scrap rusty steel ? Yes quite possibly, especially if it's an original part rather than an aftermarket replacement. 'BANGERS R US' facebook group is useful for ballpark figures.

5speedracer Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Fibre broadband.We have Fibre to Cabinet then 600m or so copper cable to the house. Am I right in thinking in this setup all the providers services will be the same so I may as well pick the cheapest?

loserone Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 At your end of the fibre they are all the same. For customer service, capacity etc. at their own end they may differ, which is why an 80Mb line with talktalk or sky doesn't compare well with an 'identical' line from an ISP like Zen, AAISP etc. 5speedracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Re: the auto-renewing insurance. They are bastards for this now. I always make sure I tell my insurers at the time of taking out the policy that they are NOT to keep my payment details on file, and they are NOT to auto-renew my policy. Several times they have still renewed the policy and attempted to take payment. Every time I call up and complain they waffle on about "we always do this" and "you have to be insured at all times" etc.etc. bollocks. My response is then "I told you at the time to not renew the policy. It's up to ME to ensure I am insured when I need to be. Not up to you!". An argument then ensues about whether they should have auto-renewed or not. I then challenge them to pull the recording of the conversation of xxxxxxxx time and date so they can confirm that I specifically requested they do not auto-renew. They will then come back to me a few days later and say "we can't find the conversation, but we'll cancel this as a goodwill gesture". Goodwill gesture my arse. Do what I bloody asked you to do! stephen01, Ben Down and mat_the_cat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I always insure on credit card. Fuck their luck with trying to use the same card again 12 months later..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH-R Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Email them the minute you have finished buying that they do not under any circumstances have permission for a continuous payment authority on your card. And save the email. They're all twats who think they just have carte blanche on your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehedgehog31 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 What is the best way of viewing Autoshite on a mobile device? I use the mobile site but it seems to be missing some features like being able to jump to a certain page. This may of course be attributable to my jalopy of a telephone. I did once look at the Tapatalk app for another forum I use but I had no idea what was going on and nearly fell I to a coma as a result so promptly uninstalled it.

Vince70 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This week my Rover is in for its MOT and I don’t think it’s going to pass without spending mega money.The thing is I have a lovely low mileage E36 compact Ti and a real beautiful E36 convertible to use plus a nice Z3 to but the biggest problem is insurance on the lot. My classic insurance is nearly up on the the Z3 and the rover of doom insurance is up next month so I just wondered if there’s a way of insuring all cars on one policy cheap as that way I can use them a month at a time and tax each monthly.

Mrs6C Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Try Hagerty? Six-cylinder has a group policy with them, which has worked well for us so far. They are sponsoring Dollywobbler's Invacar restoration, so have an AS presence as well! Give them a call and see if they are able to advise further. If they can't help, I believe Footman James and Peter Best do something similar. spike60 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what year an e36 is, but I guess a z3 should just sneak into a classic policy. Sent from my SGP621 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Prompted by the SAAB write-off thread; when your bolide is wrecked by some miscreant, if you've got alternative transport(i.e. a drive full of chod) will insurers bung you some cash in lieu of giving you a hire car that you won't need?

Bucketeer Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 What's involved in getting a custom exhaust? I presume the car will have to go and get measured and fitted, or do they just get the required measurements online or summat and post the exhaust off to me? Any really rough idea of costs?I've only ever replaced one exhaust out of 50+ cars owned in the past.TB completely H, I just want it to sound a bit better than standard and I don't mind throwing a bit of dolla at it.

You may be in luck, go North and have a chat with these as they do standard pipework and make one off exhausts, they’ll have a look at your chod and discuss it with you.

SiC Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Do Shiply quoters see other prices that have been offered? I currently keep getting revised quotes and they are getting lower and lower. If anything makes me wonder why they are so low. For a Newcastle to Bristol run the lowest so far, just in is £236. That's for a 280 mile trip one way. How can they even make a profit at that?

There's enough idiots out there with the idea that cutting their own throat is a business plan, perhaps car haulage has the same. Perhaps there are car haulers running on veg.
