    Does anyone know if Nononsense insurance provide unlimited EU travel just like FBD? Can't seem to find anything on the net about it nor on their website.

    The amount of questions I'm asking people will think I'm a fecking troll :D
    Just got off the phone with the potential sale I'm hoping with and the seller is saying that the drop links have gone.
    When I asked what makes him think that he said it knocks going over bumps.
    I think I'm right in saying that number 1 the parts are fairly cheap to begin with and 2 is it a time consuming job to replace them?

    New number plates arrived, stick on or screw on? The existing plates are riveted on.

    So this evening I was stuck behind a group of water meter protesters for 20 minutes on a 600m stretch of road. I cannot believe I didn't stick one of the **** to the bonnet.

    well for my car for example they are less than 50 euro for a pair(not original).

    if you've the correct size sockets/ allen keys ect and they are not rusted on it'd prob take less than 20 minutes.

    If I was you, I'd stick on flat ones, screw on (or put in surrounds) pressed ones.

    I wouldn't be that good at these sort of mechanics unfortunately. Better with engine stuff.
    Suppose I'm just curious how much a mechanic would fleece me.

    Idk tbh.

    here's a vid on how to do them and these are pretty much the same as on my own car. but others might not be quiet as easy.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqOsW1X1-O8&feature=player_detailpage#t=112

    it is important to jack the car up at both sides at the same time.

    Not really. :)

    It's easier alright to have them replaced if there's no tension from uneven wheel load (one side up, another down), but still possible, with a little help from a pry bar/breakers bar/steel pipe/etc, appropriately used. ;)

    Pressed. I have the screws and caps already.

    Ha, suppose you got some slagging for that!

    Out of nosey-ness, what subjects do you teach?

    Try stick them on first. If they not sit securely or you just don't like the look of them you can always go screw-on. No turn back if you try screw-on first. ;)

    Alternatively try surrounds - but I know not everyone likes them. :o

    Took the Panda out on some local backroads and it was great fun. Comfortable and eager when in the right gear. My old A-Class was very scary on backroads.
