I think that guy works in my local post office.....

*Blows off the dust* You gathered that I was rather miffed that Carpet Removal was considered a Modification, but how about STICKERS being classed as a Modification?? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-31064998

It's from a 2000, mid-70K car. The clutch is brand new and never been fitted.

It's for a 2001 1.0

Oh, I have a car: A bloke I know flogged me a 2001 "X" plate Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec with 11 months MOT for 200 quid. It has the usual Zetec SE problems, but nothing insurmountable. Strangest thing: NO CHANGE in Insurance premium! So it costs the same to insure a 100BHP Focus as it does to insure...

Thanks. I'm not hopeful.

No, Banking probs. :/

I can't do as I planned with the car, so it has to go, either spares or repairs. 51 plate, stripped interior, Mountney "M" steering wheel. Was running when garaged in October. No MOT. I have most of the interior still, including front door cards with the cup holders in. £150, Collection...

Owing to certain circumstances I have to abandon my Micra project, so some bits are up for sale. Gearbox: Bought to replace my noisy one but not fitted due to other things Also including Brand New In Box 3 piece clutch kit. £50 the lot, no offers. Collection from Hoddesdon, Herts.

I transferred my insurance to a Ford Focus on Friday, and the broker told me that they've had a lot of complaints about this company for similar things, so they're not using them any longer! I feel slightly vindicated now :)

Just take the pipe off the airbox. That's it!

Yup: Micra's & Madmen go together :)

Put it in the garage until the Spring. I now have no usable car. Bugger. :(

Do you have the steering collar with the Horn Stud available?

Bollocks! I'm moving to Dublin, then! ;)

Don't all Irish insurance claims have to be assessed by a Jury? How much is your insurance a year? Should I stop whinging about £614 PA? ;)

Yes,, Sorry about that. I shouldn't have got up on my hind legs, I was just somewhat vexed with the situation. *ahem*. In a few ways it's a good thing: It gives me a chance to plug the leak in the NSF, and replace the clutch and gearbox, both of which are knackered after 113,000 miles of not...

Here's the deal: Zenith Insurance regard even removing the CARPET from the car as a "Modification", despite the fact that it does nothing to the performance. Also I feel insulted that they don't think a 48 year old is sensible enough to drive a car that has been modified. The reason the carpets...

Why does it concern you? I made a statement, that's the end of it. Butt out and concern yourself with other things that are directly affecting you, like low wages, NHS sell off, Global Warming etc. and leave me to whinge and complain, orrite?
