OK so, I love insurance renewal time! maybe I am sad...

You see, I have been with the same insurers for the last four years, and each time they want to renew my policy, they charge me a lot more, so I like to play the game!

For the record, I tend to go for 10 month accelerator policies, as opposed to 12 months.

Today I got a letter, renewal was £758! so I jumped on the price comparison websites... Got a best price of £950'ish for a 12 month cover. Phoned up the Owners club insurance who found me an excellent deal of £630 plus all I was getting from my current insurer, but the penalty was a £450 excess (non negotiable!)

I phoned up Admiral, and advised them of this better deal (much more different). Told them that I was getting all the bells and whistles with Adrian Flux, but I added in a few that Admiral hadn't yet offered me.

So if I took the policy exactly as it was, they would have given me the same price of £630, whilst thats good, it wasnt good enough!

So after a bit of talking I got the price to an acceptable £665, for that I got all the stuff I had before, but also got:

Key Cover (£1000.00 cover)

Lower Excess (£300 instead of £350)

Excess will drop by £150 in January on my birthday

Current Modification's included.

All in all, I saved just over £70 off their renewal price and got a handful of goodies to boot!

oh and if I want to add a tuning box, it will only cost me £20, unfortunately the same couldn't be said of Adrian Flux's company as they would have had to add almost £100

Goes to show, look around, and see what you can get!

Year five begins...

Hi Guys,

So I was just out playing with the car, and removed some trim that I cannot reattach. I will post pictures momentarily, but its the trim on the side of the car, and here are the socket and connector. I just cant seem to pop it out easily to attach it to the trim and then pop it back into the hole?

Any advice?

EDIT: Camera ate my car so I need to take some more, but if you check this site

Its the re-attaching of the HM2 clip to the pillar...

Should I just jam a screwdriver in the clip and pull it out then put the new one onto the pillar and push it back in?

Hi guys this is a weird one! Unfortunately as well warranty is now out...

So driving on dual carriageway yesterday and then town road today I noticed on some rather forceful acceleration that the brake warning and engine management light flicked on for a sec then went off.

Can't really describe the car as having a problem when this happens either. I did scan the ecu for errors and got B1317 and the recurring U1900 might try scan it tomorrow with f super and see but I can't think what it could be.... Anyone got any thoughts what might trigger both at the same moment and off at the same moment...?

EDIT: come to think of it (will probably have to do a self diagnostic bulb test) but it could I suppose be the ABS light that popped up, so I suppose it could be an ABS sensor, will slam the anchors on, on a quiet road tomorrow and see what happens...
