How ?

Was driving down the road and saw a motorbike ahead but was driving all the way to the left of the road and going slowly so I figured it was a 50cc or something so as I was driving past it, he stuck his indicator on and turned right into me and I hit him. I could have steered left and try to keep the car on the road but risk going into a 16 foot deep river or just bite the bullet and plough it into a ditch. Granted, the ditch was deeper than I thought but still. Better than ending up in a river as my mum was in the car and she never have gotten out of it alive if I did

Not far away - Huntingdon. Will your insurance pay for it?

Ah not far at all. Was at Grafham Water a little while ago.

Nah insurance won't pay out. Wouldn't even pay recovery cost which set me back another £552 (Even though I am fully comp)

Insurance on it is now gonna cost me £7658 so I might have to get rid of it

Dude, thats harsh. Nice motor aswell

Thanks man. Yeah, I miss it. A 1.8 Astra just doesn't do it for me anymore lol

      Mini One 2004 Buying Advice

      Well I ended up buying it. Bodywork needs a good pollish, and I got the front discs and pads changed at the weekend. Got the rears to do overchristmas but at least it stops now and is driveable. Fortunately it is the first cheap car I have bought where every single nut and bolt came off without much effort. Callipers slid off, pistons were nice and free, and I didn't have to take the big hammer to the discs to release them from the rust. I love people who believe in a little copperslip!!! Done a few wee trips in it and the other half has used it on a couple of longer motorway trips so far. Couple of knocks and bangs to be investigated, one of them I am sure is the exhaust. I don't like the look of the way those springs are set up on the front suspension though!!! Looks like if one of them goes then your tyre is getting mangled too!!! Thrust bearing on clutch sounds a little noisy and there appears to be some noise similar to the tappits on a mk3 escort. I'll have a good poke about on google and see what I can dig out, plus get myself the Haynes manual. No noise from timing chain which is good. All in all it's a tidy wee car for not a lot of money

      E87 Whine on acceleration

      Great advice gents, got a similar type of noise, literally started today, definite cyclic in nature so linked to the belt and pulleys and will try the WD40 first to see if I can isolate the cause of it before moving on.

      Headlight condensation

      I can confirm, no more appearance of any condensation in headlights so this is a worthy fix.

      water pump whistle

      Just started up this morning to be greeted with a real whistle which I think is coming from the water pump. Definite link to the belt as the frequency is clearly aligned with the belt and pulley speed. Is this a sign of water pump on way out or something else. I am guessing water pump, is there anything else I should be looking at to find the culprit. Literally, no sound two days ago and got this rotary whistle this morning. How long have I got?
