    I can get my hand in the gap but it won't undo. Can't see how I could get a spanner in to undo the drive box though.

    take wheel off then you can get a spanner/ ratchet in fairly easily.

    Just a replacement 998, the current one is getting too worn out! Cleaning and removing the old paint is hard work!

Generally can't believe that my insurance company want 400 pound more off me than last year and I've got a years no claims now as well

    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.

    yes, I asked too. First they said no, then they said yes. It's priced highly if it isn't

    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
