General Car Chat / Re: I need a bigger car

If I could turn back time, I would have my Omega Estate back. Great car, oh how I miss the huge amount of space when the seats were down. Since I bought the Mazda 6 Saloon, and it has a massive boot area..... I keep telling swmbo, we should have gone for the Estate version

Just watched a video on you tube.......some bloke slagging off electric cars. He has a Porsche thingy, had it two years. He reckons his insurance last year was 600 quid, this year they want over 3,000 quid 
He bought the car for over a hundred grand new, still owes over 70 grand.....Porsche offered him
60,000 for it part exchange, and We Buy Any Car, 51,000. He tried some other insurance companies, and some won't even insure EV's !!!!
He also reckons Rishi putting back the cut off date to 2035 has contributed to the devaluation, as both Porsche and WBAC both offered him slightly more before the announcement. !!!

Or, it shows that picking your population for the survey gives you the answer you want.
Thats probably nearer the mark, knowing the woke Guardian !!!!

Thanks for the replies. I think I shall go with the consensus and hold back for a while. I am hoping to respray the roof and bonnet in December, then fit the new windscreen surround. Then early in the new year, see about getting the valve stem seals done, and obviously whilst it’s stripped down, do the cam belt. James has given me a rough price for doing the aforementioned work. Car has only done 81, 000 miles, so I want to get it back on the road, mainly for local use.
On a slightly different topic, has anyone got their car on classic insurance, what are the limitations, and the cost.

General Car Chat / Cambelt
« on: 30 October 2023, 10:25:01 »
Hi all....I know the cambelt fitting duration has been discussed on here many times, but I have a dilemma this time.......I have always been a staunch belt changer every four years on all of my Omega's. However this time, its been four years since Gixer changed the belt, but its only been driven a few hundred miles, if indeed that. It has been started regularly and run for a few minutes every week. I will probably get it changed, but does it need the full set. I thought someone said to me you only need the tensioner and a belt, is this correct.
Thanks....
Thanks....

I wish Reform would get more media coverage, but we know that's not going to happen soon. I saw in the polls, they were above the greens in points....
