    How do you mean inhouse, did you go through the dealer network? I'd like the peace of mind buying through a dealer, but its sure to be mental money for an Alpina through a dealer. I'll have to enquire about VRT on a B7 compared to a regular 7.



    Thanks for the link, bookmarked!

    I gathered he meant he went for the CSI instead of Aplina's version?

    Just took out a policy with Quinn Direct moving from AXA last year. Paid €1440 last year (20 yo, 2 years named driving, peugeot 207 1.4 petrol)

    New policy €750+€49 Direct Debit charges, so €799.

    A decent drop of €641 for one year NCB and a year older (and possibly the changes in december)

    And I now have the driving of other cars extension which is handy to have.

    So Happy out :D

    Ya i'm going to do that, fronts have alot left so would make sense like!!!
    Expensive auld game this motoring! :D

    It's odd that your rears are worn and not the fronts unless you got new fronts only at some stage.

    Just remember to swap front left to rear right and front right to rear left ;)

    Wouldn't be too surprising given they break heavier on the back. But I would imagine the new fronts is more likely.

    How would the side swap work if the tires are rotational without ripping them off the wheels.

    Good point, I didn't think of that at all! You do the side swap so they wear on the other edge but I'm flummoxed as to what one would do about rotation :confused:

    Now it just means I'll have to get a worse car. Wasn't too bothered if we didn't get it anyway, was always a slim chance.

    Hmmmmm.... That was a rather awful cold start! 5 mins, cough cough wheeze wheeze, splutter fart into life. Absolute crap :(

    Either the glow plug relay is failing or the cars on its last legs. I'm guessing both :pac:
