Agreed! As long as it doesn't cover any personal injury claims at all, I think it would be an excellent idea.

We can't be friends any more. Sorry.

Posting here so it reminds me to have a read up later. In short though, I'd love to go to court if anyone dared to suggest my brakes which are now 20% better than OEM are less safe than stock.

Nonsense. How many times does this come up still?? You're totally insured, however you may well find the insurer will reduce your payout if you write the car off. MOT fail != unroadworthy. Do you have a crack in your windscreen? Or a chip over the size of a pound? Do you still drive your car? How about if your numberplate fell off, could you drive your car home? How about if the numberplate didn't have the supplier on, or a non-spec flag (like a Nissan logo)? Or if the spare tyre was completely bald? Exactly. It's bobbins of the highest bobbinity. Not having a pop at you fella, all of this said with a casual winky smile as you'll sit back and realise how daft the regs are.

What I'm saying is that there is no explicit law saying that fluffy dice are illegal. There is a section in the MOT that deals with obstructions to view, and that's why fluffy dice will fail an MOT, but that doesn't mean it's illegal for me to put them straight back on afterwards and carry on driving. Same for fixed buckets in a road car, steering wheels with no airbag, decats etc. Not illegal, but will fail an MOT. You will fail an MOT if the speedo isn't reading correctly, which may be caused by rolling radius issues, but that doesn't make running tyres >3% bigger illegal.

As I said, utter b*llocks. Nowhere in the MOT manual does it state that silly 3% rule, and even if it did it wouldn't make it illegal. It's not illegal for me to have fluffy dice in my car. It will fail an MOT. It is illegal to drive round without an MOT. That doesn't make fluffy dice illegal.

Personally, I wouldn't do it that way: You're then relying on the tape itself to hold the spoiler down, as the TS will only have a very tiny contact patch with the spoiler. Better than tape alone I agree, but the results of a spoiler coming off on the motorway are too scary to contemplate. A quick squizzle of TS under the spoiler will be infinitely better, as long as you don't go too mad with it then it's very unlikely to spunk out the sides and make a mess.

Curly Wurlys are the king of chocolate snacks. There is nothing finer, and to be awarded one is a very high achievement indeed.

Or to be more precise, ask them to quote which piece of legislation they're referring to. If such a piece exists, I'll send them a Curly Wurly.

Utter load of b*llocks.

85 Mustangs in one place, wow! I bet the local A&E were busy then

In that case however, you've not actually insured the car you're driving: You've insured yourself to cover third-party risks only. You'd then have to fork out of your own pocket to repair the car you were driving, or tell the owner tough luck and run away Your policy with DOC covers your car specifically, and gives TP cover to other unnamed cars. It's an odd one, I do agree, but it works out nicely for most people so I'm not going to complain!

Tbh, if the finance co are footing the entire bill then just give teh car to the garage and let them get on with it. As long as they confirm to you that the uprated gaskets have been fitted, who cares how they do it?

DO NOT ATTACH A SPOILER WITH ANY KIND OF 3M TAPE!!! :scare: You will definitely need some kind of water resistant sealant, like Tigerseal et al.

Me neither, although not entirely unbelievable as the AD08Rs have always sat right up the top of the noise scale using those useless Euro rating things.

Two points: 1. So what happens when you insure a loan car when yours is in being serviced? Some main dealers insist you get your own insurance for this, so in that situation you don't have an insurable interest in the vehicle as you don't own it. 2. As long as only one of you claims, there's no fraud. Otherwise you both end up in the slammer. So could I never insure myself to drive my wife's car? She may well not want the risk of losing any NCB by having me on her policy, for instance, so I'd have to go it alone. I totally understand the principle of insurable interest, but in this case you're insuring yourself against having to pay the owner of the car when you stack it. No difference to single day insurance policies, some of which are designed to allow you to drive a car you specifically don't own so you can test drive before purchase.

Because you could be held liable for a multi-million pound claim if the other guy doesn't insure the car. That's quite a lot of harm, I'd say.

Literally three posts above yours.

Oh bobbins, sorry to hear that dude. Is there no way to keep it? Give her more equity from something else? Be a shame to lose something that's just yours if you don't have to.

doesn't sound good mate, everything okay?

Rosberg - Ricciardo - Vestappen - Don't care after that Lewis to suffer engine issues again.

97 is fine. All fuels 97 and above must stick to the BS number to be counted as SUL, so something like BP Ultimate will work just fine.

Because look at it! I'd rather walk than be seen driving that.

BF1 is £50, no?
