  1. I've been trying to find the component and believe it may be a freeze plug which is silicone and bolted on. I'll try sending the pic to the garage tester and see what he says
  2. Morning all. My car passed it's test today with an advisory of a coolant leak. The tester told me that he doesn't know what the component is and its a little hard to see with the lower covers in place. It's beneath the engine a little way back from the alternator and can only be described as a round disc or plate with a couple of bolts. Unfortunately I don't have a picture but was hoping I might get an answer or suggestion on here. He can't book me in for a couple of weeks so I'll top the rad up with coolant when it needs it until it's done.
  3. Well done on that find! The 430 is a wonderful car and sublime to drive. You don't really drive the car it just sort of cuddles you home. 😁
  4. So really if you just keep to your speedo reading you should always be under the speed limit
  5. Can't you check your speed against a mobile phone sat nav? There's bound to be a slight difference anyway
  6. Of course. Totally understand that. My wheels needed a refurb but I ended up buying some wheels that were as close to the originals I could find. I didn't want anything flash just a bit of an upgrade.
  7. If the sc wheels need refurbing as well, why not just get the Ls wheels done. At least you know they fit
  8. I've been with Adrian Flux for bike and car in the past and can't say I ever had a problem but then I never had to make a claim with them either.
  9. That's the sort of thing I've heard about so I seem to have had it easy compared to some.
  10. Just had my renewal through from Hastings direct and without any changes to my details, and due to price hikes it's gone up from £233.75 to £322.83 so an increase of £89.08. Obviously did the compare but found Hastings to still be the cheapest for me. I then went on top cashback and got £36 cashback so reducing it to £286.83. So all things considered, an increase on last year of £53.08. Still not happy but I've heard some horror stories so I'll have to settle for that. I dare say insurance companies will hike it up again next year.
  11. Yes you're right. We don't have to pay road tax so that is our concession to not have to pay.
  12. Checked mine "54" - no charge and with blue badge also no congestion charge AND no fee on the Queen Elizabeth crossing (Kent/Essex)
  13. Wow that is a lot of corrosion. The rest of it looks OK though. 👍
  14. Great stuff. If I remember right the box is screwed together so at least it's not sealed
  15. Lol. I'll get it off today. Good luck, I hope you get a good result. 👍
  16. Sure. You're welcome to it. Just keep us informed if you have a result. Send me your address and I'll get it off to you.
