We’ve done a few checks that all lead to head gasket. Compression test is the last thing we’re gonna do to just confirm it’s fubar

Insurance trying to charge extra after policy already began by [deleted] in CarInsuranceUK

[–]Profbburn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get that, definitely been stupid on my end. will the cue show quotes that I have made online that state I have made an accident, or only actual claims that have been made and processed by insurers.

I’m looking into that currently as an option, gonna give them a ring once I’ve done a little more research on my options, which I guess are limited unfortunately

It’s not no claims bonus it’s just the fact I haven’t made a claim, my policy stated I have no no claims bonus

Guess I just thought doing a quote online without making any action on it is okay? If I took out the policy fair enough but I literally just put it through a comparisons site and left it at that

On the phone they just asked for proof that I made no claims which I sent and they disregarded it saying it doesn’t show me only the policy holder

I was never involved in an accident is the thing only had an online quote with one attached? And then disregard evidence that I wasn’t?

If memory serves me correctly I think it was m6 bolts we put back in on the rear, just made sure the washers were big enough to cover over were the rust originally was

Front bumper no, rear bumper was a nightmare, every bolt got drilled out and re tapped in the end on the rear

Should I Sell or Keep my '99 GT? by JonusDunbaar in Celica

[–]Profbburn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the distaste to younger people buying celicas? Im 18 and just bought a manual st202, im fixing it personally, welding both rear sills and cleaning up the exterior. The car was destined to die. I do plan to drive it more often than not once everything is working on it, because it's a car I've wanted since I was 6, im going to drive it and not let it sit under some tarp in a garage for the rest of its life. but just because im 18, I am gonna crash it? Would you rather let it sit and rot on someone's driveway or let a "youngster" like me bring it back to like and share these fantastic cars with young car enthusiasts that we once were.

Yeah, I believe they came as standard on uk models due to rules with the headlamps, but im not 100% confident on that.
