  1. A little while ago my mate drove into the back of me, after contacting his insurance (Liverpool Victoria) they advised me to TAKE PICTURES if the damage and send the pics to them. They rang me back immediatley saying they quoted it was Total Loss damage and that they can give me £3300 for it or I can buy the car for £500 from them (which I did). The next couple of days I had the check,which I banked.

    THANK YOU LV! You were 100 times better than my previous insurers ( I dont know wether there is a NO name and shame policy but: QUINN DIRECT, E CAR INSURANCE and ENDSLEIGH DIRECT)

    Also if it was a Total loss surely somebody should have inspected it (it could have been ANY car I took pictures of)and I should have sent my log book off for it to be recorded?

    Cheers, Tom

  2. i`m doing mine at the moment

    remove engine mount and take the timing belt off

    undew all the bolts holding the rocker cover and camms on

    remove the Ht leads from the head

    lift the rocker and camms off and pull all the cam followers (just lift off by hand)

    stick them in some parafin and hope they unsieze...if not take em apart and clean in parafin

    do the reverse to put back together

    if they wont unsieze, you can get x8 new on ebay for £35...i`ve just bought 16 so will be fitting them

    out of my 16, only about 4 where not si=ezed

    Do you know how much from VW?

  3. I make number plates and registered to dvla; to sell to the public they needs proof of ownership and ID. The BS AU mark MUST be show in the bottom right corner and the only the supplying outlet who made them in the bottom with postcode. New charles wright ( font 'inventer') is ONLY allowed (hi line, 3d and carbon)This is a set standard so they are visible to human eye AND automatic number plate recognition camera's. I.e Specs cameras.(Pre 01/01/1973 cars are differant). If there is any confusion VOSA will have the final say not the police if it is roadworthy or not. I have never seen a pressed plate with a BS AU number on it; although it might have this mark, it does not nessesarily mean it is roadworthy, it just mean it was made under british standards.

    The law was a MAXIMUM of £30 fine per plate but changed recently to MAXIMUM of £30 per plate and £1000 for something else and 3 POINTS PER PLATE. This is the same for displaying NO number plate.After sept 2001 the letter size decreased to height of 79mm width from 57mm to 50mm (to accomadate Euro symbol (excepct I and 1)11mm between characters and 33mm between groups.

    There is nothing about maximum size of a plate ( std size is 520 = 111mm) If you buy a plate online and you ask them is it legal for uk road use they will almost always say no, they're being sold as a show plate etc.

    It is not comfusing, your plates dont meet the requirements they are not road legal.

  5. What are everyones views on these, I have a set which have been fine to me but they are about 1.8kg each! Which is a lot to add to an all ready heavy set of teledials. Was just wondering if anyone has experianced many problems from them?

    Cheers
