Currently on a touring caravan holiday. On Tuesday after buying new rear springs, trolley jack & tools I will be changing out a broken rear spring on my Vauxhall Insignia in a Halfords car park somewhere in Cornwall. Hope it doesn't rain. Anyone see Roadkill episode 4 El Camino engine swap? It's like a zillion miles away from Yorkshire !!!

Could possibly use a pait of spring assisters to jelp the rear springs out when the caravan is on the back .... Worked wonders on my Omega :)

Roadkill spring change completed in eurocarparts car park because it was more solid & level than Halfords, all ok & didn't get barfed on by a dog !!!

Is it worth notifying the DVLA about an engine change? Seems to be mixed opinions about this.

The problem is that not declaring it gives your insurance a perfect get out clause not to pay out if anything happens. I changed mine - all I needed for DVLA was a letter from a garage to confirm the engine change (and size) and a few photos (engine number) and it was done no problems - unless they have become even more anal these days (mine was 3 yrs ago)

yep not your problem when ya dead, that don't matter until ya survive or the other person lives and they have all cost's declined by your insurance as you couldn't/wouldn't afford to do it propa

Phoebe made a break for freedom. You will not outrun me. :) She made good use of the fence gaps though.

Yep. You don't need to modify the block, or so they claim.

What kind of performance gains will your motor get from using it?

I've been considering getting a Bora as a daily. What they like? Can pick them up fairly reasonable too

Got a TDI 130 Highline. Most reliable thing I have owned and the boot is HUGE. Not the most dynamic of drives but it's comfortable, quick and economical. Less to buy and insure than the equivalent Golf. Worth a look.

This one seems pretty solid apart from all four arches. Been sat in a barn for years (an actual barn - not someones council garage)
