  1. It helps if you're quite mechanically minded. In my opinion when your looking for cars around this value the depreciation has happened.

     

    Save yourself a considerable amount by learning how to do servicing and annual consumables yourself.

     

    *of which you are already in the right place for

     

     

  2. Welcome Louise,

     

    To look out for? Hmm.. perhaps enjoying it too much? Shop about, check the history, factor in consumables with the age and mileage, there are a few knocks that can happen such as "banana arms"... use the forum as your bible and you probably wont go wrong.

     

    Anyway, if you get one.. I will probably see you about as I'm only up the road just outside of Chi, in fact there's a few of us around these parts!

  3. I cant goto the show as I'm busy from midday but might bring my pretty standard car along for the cruise along the A27 from Portsmouth to Chichester for the hell of it.

     

    ... Although that's pretty fecking early lol

  4. Yeah, I guess that's not too bad.. the fine is £60 in itself, or at least it was when I last got points.

     

     

    £100 for a fixed penalty fine these days.

    Say Whaaaat.... Bloody inflation, the speed awareness it is!

     

     

    Look at the positive - that's about a tank full of petrol, that you could be using and then pick up another ticket ;)

     

    Well that's a downward spiral..

  5. Hi, yes we can sort a oil change no problem. We use Millers oil which is very good.

     

    We are not lovers of moly slip as the synchro's use friction to work properly if you add the moly slip this can undermine the works of the synchro.

     

    Feel free to give us a ring @ Abbey to discuss further.

    Thanks

     

    As someone who will be changing all my oils myself in the next few weeks this is interesting as there have been some positive comments within this forum regarding the use of Moly.

     

    I don't have any gear change issues so would I be better simply swapping the gearbox oil leaving Moly out but if an issue arises consider moly, seems more of a reactive process than preventative though.

     

     

  6. I applied the following code to get an extra 10% off and it worked when adding to basket. (i didn't actually purchase as going to pay later on, but worth a go)

    Edit: I used the code and seems to have worked... I did get an error message when I checked out (opting for reserving the items for collection tomorrow) but have a text with a process order number.

    My insurance didn't change at all for having 3 points but as you can tell that was a fair few years ago now.

  8. Hi,

     

    So in "the news" the other day there was an article about speed camera locations for a current operation for HantsPol... these things usually last 2 weeks to a month I guess.

     

    (Yeah I realise it pretty much covers the whole of Hampshire - but might help someone)
