You've missed the point... These claim companies don't have access to any special privileges. They claim on your behalf with exactly the same info you can get hold of, and under exactly the same procedure. Since the banks lost the courtcase and appeal, they've thrown in the towel and even if you actually ticked a box on your form, you're still entitled to claim back if you feel you were sold the PPI without being given the full story. I've claimed £3600 from one credit card co, and waiting for my mortgage company to fork out for about £8k. I did it all myself: Find the loan/credit card/other with PPI, work out what you should be owed, place a SAR request with the company to get all their info on you, fill out the PPI Claim form from the FOS website, include any evidence from the SAR request, sit back and wait for their response. If they reject, you refer the complaint to the FOS who usually uphold it. Simples...

Tidy looking Sup bud, but I'd lose the blue LED's (if it was me)... Enjoy tinkering!

Bud, if you do decide the market is the route you want to take, spend a few weeks doing tons of research and planning your investments. As the guys are saying, if you know what you're doing, and with a little luck, there's lots to be made. However, on the flip side, if you hit some bad luck, or don't do enough research, there's lots to lose. Many dabblers will stack most of their fund on long term investments, pop on a few mid term, and then use a small portion of their capital on short term. The short term will be the most volitile but can spike either way, although you have to watch the trends all the time. My advice, unless you're willing to invest lots of time to learning the market, go for something safer like an ISA or property.

Jesus Stu... Glass price is £2950. You're practically giving that away!

Those could revolutionise stalking! Dammit... I've said too much.

Lovely car... If I hadn't just agreed with the wife to switch my Sup for a more family oriented car, I'd have been sorely tempted to buy this. In fact if I had garage space I'd probably have bought it as a weekender. Free bump for you, GLWS!

Ok, I nipped out tonight again after about 45 mins and same thing happened. So it seems when engine has cooled, it struggles to start, then idles badly with engine management light on for about 30 sec to 1 min, after which the idle normalises and the light goes off, then the car runs perfectly. I'm going to get the sparks changed as a precaution (could sparks cause that?) and probably also look to change the crank position sensor and coolant temp sensor in the hope this is related to those. Anyone know the cost of these: - Crank Position Sensor - Coolant temp sensor - Denso plug leads (another thing to rule out)

Arrgghhh... Leaving work today car struggled to start, then idled sounding odd with engine management light on. I pulled off, car backfired and sounded off so I pulled over. I left it idling for 30 secs and something clicked in place, engine light went off and car drove home perfectly. Perplexed!

Aye, I didn't mean couldn't afford to pay for it. I meant the cost of one season of F1 was the accumulative cost of Wimbledon, the Golf tourney they cover and all the season's football. They made a financial decision to drop F1 in order to fund other schemes. I agree they may regret it.

I replaced the clutch plate recently but it's still chattering at low pressure after 1500 miles so I'm thinking the flywheel will need replacing at some point. Not sure if the chattering will damage the clutch plate over time so I may have to replace the whole lot at what appears to be about £800. Ouch!

What's a stock flywheel cost these days?

Don't be so naive, of course they will, and they know it. Whenever this happens, there's cries of boycott all over, but the viewing figures always tell another story. I love F1, and I pay for Sky HD, so I'll watch it on that. It's not Sky that's cashing in, it's Bernie. BBC couldn't afford to keep paying the astranomical yearly fees Bernie and his cronies pile on.

Hmmm... I'll try resetting the ECU and see if it returns.

Bump

I've just checked diag and found this code. Could that be the cause of the cold starting issue? Basically in warmer weather in the morning the car has been starting after a few turnovers (one key turn but 4 or 5 turnovers), but on the very cold mornings it takes several key turns before it fires up. Once it's started in the morning, it fires up first time every time perfectly for the rest of the day (including after sitting outside work for 7 hours). So I've been thinking it's the coolant sensor but that error code would have been 22, and this was definately 12. Thoughts?

Scott in defence of an NA!!!! Shock Horror!!!

NA's are easier to sell..... once the owners realise how pointless they are.

Yeah, I figured it would be, and I've no doubt this bloke is taking a flier because it's a non-fault insurance claim and he's betting on me either not knowing spray costs (which he's right about ) or not caring since it's not my money. I just don't want to give the insurance co. a wildly inflated cost as I'm sure they will get their "experts" to vet it against industry standards and will reject if it's way out. I've got a couple of other avenues to get comparison quotes so I'm not rushing in.

I'm having a similar problem with the Supra, and reckon it's a cold start or cold injection sensor (although I don't know if the NA has one)??! I'm going to change the spark plugs and change the sensor if it exists, then move on to fuelling system.

Cheers bud.

No, he didn't price a replacement. It's a repair, but he assures me they do as much panel beating as poss to minimise the filling.

No worries pal.... The other Bodyshop did offer a colour change and stipulates they do proper panel beating repairs, not filler, so may account for the heavier price but I don't have anything to compare to.

Thanks guys. Are you referring to Paul? I called him, emailed him, turned up and had a chat with him, but never saw the quote he promised me 4 times...

Chaps, I took my car to a bodyshop this weekend for a quote to repair the wardrobe induced dent and give the car a full respray (keeping it black). There are a few other dings and repairs to be done in with it but he's quoted £3k for the lot, and the car in for a week to do it. It's a non-fault claim so I'm not paying a thing but just want to be sure he's not vastly overcharging so the insurance has a problem with it? Whats the verdict?

Cheers for the shout scooter. Mikey, are the struts working perfectly?
