[Pies]

Whilst on the subject of insurance I am also currently with Privelidge and they gave me my cheapest quote for coprehensive for an S3 with 15k per year including work use of £730 pa
(I had a prang a few years back in my Scooby) Until...
Liverpool Victoria quoted for a like policy £520!!!

Worth giving them a ring.

umm a rather good info website which has good reliable sources (bar Podie ) with friendly advice, a nice atmosphere.
do you need anymore hints??

p.s.
also really good at selling cars, had loads of interest through PH on the old bug (still hasn't sold yet though )

[DustyC]

Dont forget David Batty.

(as if I needed to say )

[Pies]

Its a shorter lisft than i imagined

So far only 4 garages and none up north and not many suppliers

:sigh:

[Roy_S2]

Best thing would be to get them out of 'Sprint' wouldn't it?

Roy.

[Pies]

Im thinking where to get bits and bobs i.e

lights
switches
mats
etc etc

For servicing those that advertise in Sprint tend to be a bit dear for a humble "S" owner

I'll plod on

[Stephen Pook]

I agree with Pies, however, with the utmost respect I'm not so sure I would describe the driver of a seemingly immaculate V8S a 'humble driver'.

[Pies]

The " humble driver" meerly refers to any of us who dosent want to pay sky high charges

ref parts its one thing knowing what car they are of its another finding a supplier

[WildfireS3]

Will mail you the details of the guys who did my Roof in the NE.

2.9 V6's have a wierd ignition coil called an Ecoil. This is a ford part, and can be difficult to get.
When the Coil died on my mates S3C (in my custody at the time) we managed to get an alternative through a mate in the industry. (at that time there were only about 3 E-coils in all of Ford UK !!)

[v8smith]
