Yep plus it needs attention to the rear arches. Best move on. Maybe find a fresh import. Leather retrim next time perhaps.

Retrim? about £70 and about 25 hours. (trimmer by trade) It was just some cloth that looked Japanese ish , just did it to make ...

Re: about to be written off.

Got the offer today 2300. If I want to retain it they will subtract 500 from this which seems high to me, so I'll let it go and move on. Although I do intend to change the wheels back to steel as I had only fitted a set of alloys 3 weeks before the incident as well as some of the additions I have ...

Re: Non starter

Ok, Tried to have a look today. bit tricky as its parked road side. lifted the drivers seat again there's just a faint click from somewhere around the fuel pump area. bit tricky due to location at present. Could be worth getting another to try though
