Check your disc again - Mine had 2 sets of numbers on - 1 was valid - 1 wasnt. Concur with the remarks on service....ordered late one evening - 2 days later arrived. The 2006/2007 disc has all the new roads around me - and is more up to date than my TomTom Navigator version 6.

Im with Tigerfish on this one and you have to consider the reasons why. 1) Convenience for you - drive in your car, pick up your new one. No hassles of advertising, test drives and you also have to factor in you would need to tax & insure your old car until sold. Your no claims cannot be used on more than 1 car at a time. Some insurance companies will allow a temporary additional vehicle for a charge for a minimum period (usually around 2 weeks). After then, you'll be paying full whack with zero no claims. 2) Dealer is more often than not going to have to spend some money on the car before selling it. At a minimum a full valet - probably a service & MOT - plus 12 months tax. 3) Dealer will have to provide a minimum of 3 months warranty to the new owner when they do sell it so risk of more expense 4) Dealer has to pay vat and corporation tax on any profit they make on the car. The tax is calculated on the difference between what was paid for the car and what it was sold for - irrespective of if the dealer had to spend £2000 on preparing it. No account is taken for expenditure on the car. 5) They do need to make some money - I dont believe there is much margin in the new car itself for the dealer. Everyone has the choice to sell privately - its because of the above that most people dont - and for that youve got to expect to pay a price. Mark. Director - Arthur Daley Motors Ltd :)

Dont think it did ... Atherston is in Bristol , Atherstone is in Warwickshire

Drop

On the A5 between Tamworth and Nuneaton May pop by to see.....my car has no mods but would be great to see some of those cars....

Saw these today in a wheel & tyre place in Brum.....without the line.....definately Kahn wheels - but not sure of model (As soon as I saw them I thought "ah, they are the wheels off LOC" and the guy was right about them being Kahn....")

Anyone know if the GS430 has a fuel return line ? If so, think I may have eventually worked out the issue with my car.....

Can you hear any motor noise when you press the switch......window may have just come off the rails.

easiest is to remove the EFI and ETCS fuses from the fusebox in front of the battery for a few minutes Make sure the ignition is turned off Remove the engine bay fuse box cover Remove the 20Amp/25Amp EFI fuse Remove the 15Amp ETCS fuse Wait 30 seconds Re-insert the two fuses Install the fuse box cover ....alternative is to remove battery terminals for about 1/2hr - but you'll lose all your radio settings etc with the battery method. Plus, if the sensor is being triggered or is faulty - then the light will soon come back on again anyway....

Beautiful car - Like the idea of the "High Power" key too - unleashes the full power and top speed and lowers the car. At 890K I guess you'd need an armed guard protecting it - Wonder if I could get a reduction on my insurance if I had one

The trouble with the above link is that it doesnt take into account the actual speed of the line the customer has ordered. Eg. Zen appears to have only a medium rating with speeds of only just above 2Mg......However, thats probably because most people on Zen choose only to have a 2Mg line. The link below compares Zen against the others in terms of various criteria - not just speed. The speed chart is also more indicative of the actual service you are paying for vs what you are getting. Speed isnt always everything - no good having a fast line if its only up 70% of the time - and if you do get a problem - you need decent customer service so that its resolved quickly. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/isp/compare....;commit=Compare Theres links on the site to compare most of the main broadband suppliers too should you want to pick different ones.

Hi and welcome to the club....you wont regret the move..... :) Can also vouch for the excellent advice and knowledge you pick up from the forums members......saved me large amounts of cash already.

Sounds like excellent advice to me and nice to see the innocent party not being stitched up for a change. Wouldnt like to pay the drunk drivers insurance premium (when they get their licence back) - 44K claim + a DR on their licence... Is it worth mentioning the company name as you received such good service?

So Direct Line have paid out +44K ....would have been more in their interest to write-off! Just out of interest - Your fault claim or someone else? (ie can they recover the costs elsewhere) If your fault, I'm amazed at how well you've been treated by the insurance company - Rental for 5 months - and a Merc at that......dont think you'd get that from many insurance companies....
