Thread: Twice my age, crosseyed and can't hold her fluids in but ain't she sweet

Looks like it just needs new core plugs.

The head will still need to come off though.

I just got off the phone to a lovely girl from Just Car and she was very accomodating to a 1971 series 2a. The online quote thing did not recognise the year/make/model combination, but I gave them a call and they were more than happy to fill in the blanks. I think this is because they do a lot of imports.

After letting her know the engine size, number of doors etc. she said that she could do it for $525, insuring the car for up to 3,000, and other property for up to 20 million (seriously).

Forgot to mention, it's also for an under 25

series3 - What excess would you be paying (if you don't mind me asking)?

Silly me I can't actually remember. I can't remember it being huge but will see if i wrote it down at work tomo(today)

It is probably someone's attempt to make sure the plug doesn't come loose but it is hard to see how doing this could be any use at all!

When you put the new ones in, use Loctite on the threads to make sure they stay water-tight,

I was slightly startled when I double checked, the excess is 1,100 big ones. Is that a big amount? It's not far from the amount I told them I bought the car for..

You are a male under 25 right?

$500 standard excess + $600 "tar everyone with the same brush" excess = $1,100.

Unfortunately, your excess is normal.

Yep, that's what I have atm. It's a pain (I've already paid it once ).

That being said, it saved me 3k repairs on my car and 4k on the other...
