I am 21 and just wondered if there were any companies that i could look at that offer third part fire and theft for me to drive any car with the owners permission, i swear i have heard of it but not sure, i am 21 if that helps!
-
aha okay, guess the best thing is to get it down the road then and try and get the codes read! cheers mate!
-
hmmm yeah did think i should just take it to a garage but wanted to see if there were a selection of things i could try first that could resolve the problem...its more fun doing it yourself anyway!!

Firstly i am not that technically knowledgeable when it comes to engines and the correct workings, but my lupo sport has over the past 2/3 months been slowly deteriorating.
Firstly the car was just lacking power, it did not have anywhere near the same power...counting 22 seconds to get to 60
now the car is equally slow, but the the car is idling under 1,000, more like 600, and when at a junction i have to rev so it does not cut out.....currently a student with not alot of cash but willing to get stuck in in anyone has any pointers!!
i did make a few videos of just the sound of the engine so will try and upload those!
hope someone has the answer

Okay my lupo sport has had a number of issues going wrong with it in the last year and its that time again for an M.O.T, whats the best way of having an unofficial m.o.t?
or is it the case that i need to just pay for an m.o.t to find out whats wrong so i can sort them out?
other question that goes with that is, my m.o.t runs out october 20th, if i have one and fail where do i stand? because i dont want to do one to find out the problems and cut myself a month short of driving?
any help would be really appreciated, thanks
-
what was the mileage on the car mate? and do you have the speedo clocks? cheers
-
just wondering if you still had the clock for you car, if so do all lights ect work and how much? thanks
-

ALL SOLD, PLEASE DELETE

i have found someone who would like to buy it, but seeing as there up north and wishing for me to send it, i guess i would need to buy the original parts, so do i need to buy an airbox?
-
Well im planning on selling/sold my BMC CDA but ive realised i dont have any of the original pipes etc, i was wondering if anyone could tell me what i need to buy, and when removing the BMC is there any do'd/dont's? im not exactly a mechanic either so the simpler the better

Yeah a service is very needed, but it's the cost, buying some engine oil and new plugs tomorrow and will see if that helps!!!
If anyone is in the Oxford area though that would help!! Aha
