Guys
Thought I will try here as i didn't get much response from MLR.
Killermont Motor Company
Had a look at it today and I'm very interested. Just want a bit of advice on buying these motors as I'm not really up to scratch with EVOs. Will probably be trading in my P1.
Cheers

Well? You know what to do then Dougster! I tried to put it through Tescos Online Insurace Qoute using the reg of the vehicle but it came back saying it was a BMW Compact Sport!
Still, it was good to see my insurance quote has gone way down since I've put down that I'm now MARRIED! Around a £1k a difference! Why didn't I get married sooner??????

It was him you spoke to Gordon. You got your digits right?
What's the script on claiming to be married? We have lived together for over 8 years! Scottish law states a 'common law wife'.
Still would rather pay the premium though!!

Moses, you don't want to do that, you'd never have the car. BTW, how is yours getting on??
Gordon, main thing to check is a good service history and that the clutch is not on its way out. Test it by getting into third running 3000rpm, floor it and hold til, 6000 rpm. Clutch slip, if present, will be very noticable. This is a £700 repair, more from a main dealer and a known weakness of Evos especially if the previous owner was a launch control freak. I fried mine after a handful of runs at Crail.
If you do go for it, get the AYC fluid changed straight away, just so that you know it is done.
Buy it mate, you won't regret it. Well maybe, when you are never out the petrol station.

I think it'll jump more than £300 mate, Michelle can't drive!!!!! Only driving she does is driving me up the wall with all the things she wants done in the flat!!!! Only kidding, but it's Michelle who wants to keep the P1 and buy mods for it so it can eat EVOs for breakfast...........can't really ask for a better wife can I?

Yes mate, just got it as I've changed mobile phones as well but using the old one now and again.
Looks like it's a no go anyway as the WIFE is not allowing it.
But she will let me buy it a few things now and again!

Still don't fancy cutting the front bumper so might opt for a cheaper option, i.e. a STI8 top mount. Maybe also bits here and there but nothing that will worry you anyway!

Hi Gordon
There are FMIC that don't need the front bumper to be cut, and this would still give you the best of both, Some 1 on here should be able to dirrect you to the right 1 as i don't know it of hand.
