Chicken Chaser insurance
Thats mine with my Mum on it - makes it cheaper. I was well surprised at the quote, but I'm certainly not complaining.
 
I was going to go with CIS cos they were my old insurer, but wouldnt insure my Gti 16v,
However they would insure me on a cupra 16v....

When I asked why, they said they are different cars and that the GTi was on theyre list of 'adult cars'...
 
Maybe that is why the insurance is cheap then - little do they know the cupra is the lighter better one
(let the arguments commence)

are you going to see that 16v ibiza ollie.

if i get it im keeping both of them and making one a project and one a daily.
 
Yeah seeing it. Its cheap enough to buy and put stuff rite.
Oh rite, which one would you run as a daily. If I dont get it I will give you a heads up.

Sounds Tappety

smell. Only when its cold. Is this a common abf issue or is it just that this car is trying to set its self on fire

common to get perished fuel lines on ABF's when they get older so if it smells like neat fuel then it could be that or a vacume hose with a hole in it.

Either way very easy and cheap to repair. At least the guys being honest with you. If its tappety it could just need an engine flush and an oil change. OR it could just be a seller whose not too familliar with the noisy 16v engine.
