Am sure it was a blue hawk eye with black alloys. Coming off the northbound M6 and heading for the A685. Sounded superb.

When they can walk they nick your spanner and stick it next to Mam's plants then wash your front wing with rocks then ram your alloy wheel with their electric quad bike. But you wouldn't change em! Ha. Congratulations.

Sorry I've no clue how to post links on here. You just get the cloth when you buy it, but I washed the car with TFR soap then used some diluted wax it wet before rubbing the cloth over the top. Just like the clay kit you rub it over the paintwork till you hear it go from a sand paper sound to smooth sound and a glass finish. ALOT quicker than a clay kit because more area is covered in one swipe.

Serviced, washed, clay clothed, polished, and most importantly taxed and insured! Ready for summer. Ive used a clay bar before and thought it was good.. then used a clay cloth and it was amazing. Cheaper than a clay kit and lasts 10 times longer!

Smokey and the bandit "what we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law" ha.

A lot of its to do with where you live and where you keep it. Anything over 6 points for the same thing is bad too. If you get a CU 80 now, (caught on a mobile phone) its classed like a CD 10 20 or 30 (careless driving). The firm I work for won't take on anyone with a CU 80 on their license since the law changed because our insurance company won't touch them!

A multi car policy might be an idea? That could drop it 10%. Who is the van insured through?
-
If you don't mind me asking, what's your other car? I had a pissy little 1.2 sxi Corsa and 12 years no claims when I bought the 2000 turbo summer toy so I swapped the insurances round, after a year esure mirror imaged my no claims on both so I now have 13 years on both cars. I insure a dirty derv 330 BMW and the classic for £500.

Mine has 82k on it. Only driven in the summer months but started and run every week.... Garage it and keep it pal!
-
Looks a nice motor. Good luck in selling it.
-
I think what's trying to be asked is, it is a UK spec 2000 turbo? The 2001 will be the year of manufacture...

BIG box of maltesers helped me. -

My spoiler might be the cherry on the !Removed!..... 🤔

Hi. When I bought mine behind the missus back I told her it could of been worse, I could of bought a bike.. she still hit the rev limiter and won't go near it. Ha. Keep putting updates on, good luck. -
I've got a spoiler it could have. The right colour as well! Lol.
-
Do you need to be moving for there to be a whining noise? Or reving it stationary?
-
At 29 I spotted a 2000 turbo at a local garage outside his spray shed, covered in tree sap and green crud, bought it 3 years ago without telling the missus and it's been an on going project ever since. 32 now and she's only just coming off the rev limiter. (The wife not the car)!
-
I'd just keep an eye out for one that's being broken for parts. There's one on ebay at the min so I'd message him.. I know it won't be your number for your car but I'd say it's the only way to get one. That is apart from going back through previous owners to see if they have if...
-
Hi and welcome. Did the previous owner not have a clue where the badge was? I'd say you might have a hell of a job getting hold of one.. this is off another web page so you have a bit of a check list.
-
Hi. I just saw this one on eBay. Looks the part if you like the classics.
-
Any cheap subaru impreza about for a little project. £300
Mattb replied to Charley's topic in Subaru Impreza Club
Hi. As Rpschesterfield says, eBay and gumtree are your best bet. I've had a quick look and while there's a few for under £500, I wouldn't buy one personally. They would be complete money pits. Save your cash up a bit more and aim for the £700 - £1000, lots more to choose from. Is this going to be a first car project?? -
Vauxhall Corsa B 1.2 vegas. As far as I can tell the vegas meant a rev counter and different cloth trim! Happy days walking in to the local garage and asking what can I do to make it go faster... the mechanics face said it all.
