This has happened to me twice. You will find that insurance companies will randomly put up their prices on you hoping you will automatically renew your insurance with them. Ironically I went back to the same company a couple of years later and this year again they have suddenly put their renewal quote up by another £300 so I've left them for a second time.

I always use the comparisons site each year - if my own Insurance company is OK, I give them a call and usually they will meet or adjust their renewal quote to be more competitive - if not, bye bye!

Just use the comparison sites. Normally if the company you are with are also on there with a cheaper quote you ring up and they will match it. As someone has already mentioned they do it in order to catch the people who don't bother to check

Funny thing I used a dremel today to get into the smaller areas to be primered. Definitely handy to have but I did muller the wire cup and grinding discs etc... so not entirely practical.

I'm in the process of making my own fibreglass dash if it works I'm going to make one out of carbon, already bought the carbon fibre so home it works as it's expensive

Yeah they seem to be going for fairly decent money. If you give them a good clean, you'll get £50 easily, probably more.

HarrysMini

That's £50 each.

I agree with Pingu! I too often drag dust in from the garage. I use the house to store my car parts too :)

You just have to ensure the holes punched in the seal join up to the drain holes in the door I think.
