Mine is about £850 fully comp and I'm only 24 and have no NCB.
Thats with Norwich Union Direct.
Tescos were slightly cheeper but wanted the money all at once??!!? |

Na, most let you.
Tescos just forgot about every little helping on that day.
The operator must have had PMS. |

WHEN I TURNED 25 MADE BUGGER ALL DIFFERERNCE TO THE PREMIUM caps
all depends on things like if the average crime in ur area went up or something...dont hold any hopes for a 50% drop |

mine was virtually the same when i turned 25 as well. The small (read: miniscule) reduction i saw could be put down to the extra year NCB
£415 TPFT with Chris Knott |

well looks like the valver may be a scrapper  had the mot today, it failed on:-
Outer sills corrosion
n/s/f tyre
exhaust leaking at 2 joints
steering rack o/s inner joint excessive play - is this changeable or adjustable?
rear lights all wrong colour.
brake pipes perished. |

but then again what car can you expect to run with 70 quid a week ?? |

scrap? wtf??? a bit of rust and a few bits to change....give yourself a slap man.
rust...worst case new sill...but more likely just a few patches, weld it up, fill it etc...
everything else is just new parts....consumables....
dont panic.
how...btw, did u miss the corrosion? MOT man doesnt take skirts off or anything? |
