    Would insurance not be a lot?

    I've been getting quotes around 2K for a 525 which I'm willing to pay to not drive something like a 1.4.

    Jaysus, 2k? That's not bad at all.

    Went to the stealer yesterday to get some parts and was met with a "I'm sorry sir, the parts dept only opens Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm." Just baffles me... :confused:

    Lads when buying a car off a dealer for cash what sort of discount can I hope to get? If they want 15k could i make an offer of say 13.5k? How much scope for discount do dealers allow?

    Like many things in life, if you don't ask - you don't get! Give it a go and if he accepts fair play, if not then renegotiate. :pac:

    Some stupid fiddly plastic studs for an interior panel. I need to remove the panel and apparently in the process they will break. :rolleyes:

    I could buy them online but I wanted to do the job today, that's a no go now.

    If you rang or emailed them during the week with the part numbers they could've had them ready. I suppose that's no use to you now :pac:.

    I'm guessing yours is the one with the contrasting fuel cover! Peugeots used to be very poular late 90s for about 10 years. Not sure why there are fewer of them other than the shift to German "status" brands.

    Plenty of Pugs, especially 306's still knocking about. They really like them up there.... That makes bits rather easy to get! :D

    I see a fair few 406's in the local (:pac:) yard, usually with broken timing belts or just rotten with rust

    Personally I don't think its loud enough until pedestrians are checking themselves for bullet holes as you pass

    Get a cheap mic off ebay. Put in engine bay area and run it to the line-in on your HU. Job done :pac:.

    Rear resonator removal is the only way. Even getting a new exhaust will be louder than a single resonator delete.

    My resonator delete cost 60 quid! And being honest part of me now wants more loud! So i may get the second resonator removed too.

    I got 1.5k discount on my 535. Depends on the car and how keenly it is priced (and often how much it owes the dealer)

    link?
