  1. Chatting to the mrs last night about my car insurance and she said that one her friends had recently renewed their policy with the same company without getting another quote. Apparantly the husband thought he would get a quote online from their insurers and found it to be few hundred pounds cheaper than what they paid on renewal. So, I thought I would try the same thing as I renewed my insurance in December with Direct Line who quoted me for renewal £893.00 inc legal protection and recovery. Got a quote online using the identical details that are on my policy for - - wait for it - £475.00. A saving of £370.00 quid. How is this possible? I have promptly phoned them and cancelled my existing policy and bought the quote I got online today. I will also transfer my fiesta insurance to them as well now that they do 2nd car policies. Got that for £112.00 TPFT. You may want to check your insurance as I did not realise they would do this to existing customers.

  8. Hi there and Certainly makes you think about what could happen.
  9. Silver on A132 in Wickford yesterday (8th) about 4.30 pm going round Somerfield rounderbout towards Runwell. I was in a Fiesta, so you would not have noticed me
  10. to the club mate. Exciting drives await you!!
  11. Very nice soop mate and welcome to the club.
  12. I would tend to agree with other members that the auto is great but just occasionally I wished I had a manual. But the benefits of the auto outweigh the manual. Plus you do have "Manual mode" on the auto.
  13. Make sure that when you sign in to Ebay that the page address starts with https://signin.ebay.co.uk, you should see this in the address bar in Internet Explorer. And that the padlock icon is visible in lower right of Internet Explorer window. If the address starts with http://signin, it is not secure and could possibly be a spoof ebay site. I've had quite a few emails recently that look exactly like ebay's web site asking me to update my account details, but the sign in button had a link to a address that was not Ebay.[/b]The page address I get when I sign in is : https://signin.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&co_partnerId=2&pUserId=&siteid=3&pageType=&pa1=&i1=&bshowgif=&UsingSSL=&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk&pp=&pa2=&errmsg=&runame=&ruparams=&ruproduct=&sid=&favoritenav=&migrateVisitor= Same applies to PayPal, make sure the address starts with https://www.paypal.com/ and padlock icon visible. I would also suggest changing paypal password. Hope you get it sorted without losing your feedback.
  14. Try this link. http://pages.ebay.co.uk/safetycentre/?ssPageName=f:f:UK to report suspicious account activity. Have you received any emails that appeared to be from Ebay? If you get an email from Ebay it should contain your user name to prove its legit. You may have entered your details to a false site.
  15. Hi mate and welcome:welcome: You wont be disappointed with a Supra, I love driving mine:D NICE car BTW.
  16. Changed both rear standard shocks ,cos 1 was leaking, with KYB Gas Adjust shocks and fitted new boots. Got them from Fensport but had to send 1 back as the thread stripped before i got any where near the torque setting. Seem to be fine and an improvement over the originals.
  17. I have been using mainly Optimax over the past year and there is a definate improvement over 95RON unleaded. Occasionally I've had to use BP Ultimate and the car did not feel as quick as when I used Optimax. Now a large Tesco garage near me has 99RON available and I have noticed an improvement in response over Ultimate and Optimax. So I'll prob stick with Tesco....
  18. Red on the old A130 at rawreth going towards Chelmsford on Sunday about 12.45
  19. I dont know chelmsford that well. Its the rounderbout near to Argos and riverside multistorey car park. I was crossing road back to car park when a silver J spec drove past.
