Opinions on fiberglass bootlids?

    I doubt it, less to go wrong with a boot lid, front ends are a bit more involved. But I'm not really the person to ask xD

    Sometimes fibreglass ones can be too floppy and wont press tight enough against the seal to keep the boot watertight

£1k to insure a mk3 astra.:( What a joke! I was only looking for a 1.4L as a very cheap daily.

    Yup..about the same as me..21..2years NCD. One accident. Ive done many insurance quotes all come out around the same 900-1500. Also 1.4-2.0 engines doesnt seem to make much difference

    Wow! I paid 750 to insure a 1.4 cavalier when i was 18 and then £700 to insure a 2.6 190E when i was 19. That wasn't that long ago really

    I will also say that if you choose an unusual car for someone your age you might be surprised...for example more people at 22 will have probably crashed a 1.4 306..than a volvo estate or something

    What else is it the BBC has to offer? They have the occasional Match Of The Day on and that's about it.

Is it legal to jam the petrol dispensing nozzle with your filler cap so it pumps automatically without you holding it?

    This made me think of a woman i saw once at Morrisons. She pulled the hose out of the filler neck without first letting go of the trigger. It went everywhere and she stood there screaming but still didn't thin to let go of the trigger. A man came along and took it from here after a few seconds.

Triple glazing or double glazing??? 18 hours to decide.

    The house is very well insulated. The loft looks like something out of NASA because all the floor and between the rafters are stuffed with that foil covered insulation board and the fluffy stuff. Have decided on the triple glazing. It doesn't actually cost all that much more than double and want the soundproofing more than anything else.

    Very good. :) It's freezing in our house. :( Triple glazing seems to be quite common now, the new double glazing.
