Haha, I'll probs use confused.com or similar and ring the top 5 and then beat them down draycottagirlz style! I'll let you know the results when it's all sorted.

Do keep us posted.

I saved my gf 100 last week when getting her car insurance! Nice....

Pint in for me if you are successful

and if you get a quote. Ring them back after about 20mins telling them that their quote has been beaten (try by 80 - 100 notes) can they do any better.

When this works you officially owe me a pint!!!!

[Wheels Police Help.....ideas? Update with what the police said on pg3]

The rule is put in place to protect pedestrians, so they don't get caught on the wheel if they brush past a moving car, so it's not just the tyre but the overall wheel that needs to be protected by an arch. So on that basis, if you can rub against the side of your car and hit the wheel, it's out too far. And judging by those photos, I think the Police may be right here.

Time for some extended arches...

Thats what I was thinking unfortunately.......

Sweeeeeeet Lupooooooooo

[Need buying advice lupo gti]

i went for another look at the car and i had a proper play with everything. the electric windows on both sides where very tempremental, is this a common thing and easy to fix? I also noticed the rear tyres need replacing soon as really, what the average price for some decent ones? Sorry for all the questions, I was gonna offer him 4k, what do you think?

I knew that there would probably be an electrical issue, but that plus the tyres gives you great bargaining power, if you get it for £3800 you'll be doing good, but remember in future sales you'll be selling a former Cat D.

My advice BUY IT! and best of luck with it

Sounds like an ok deal. Make sure you get a very good test drive, at higher speeds and low bumpy speeds as it can be hard to find faults otherwise. Also test everything, especially electrics as they could have made a mistake. I saw last week, that when the passenger door opened the flashers went off -weird!

Are you getting any guarantee period? Or is a private sale? How long ago was it repaired?
