I dunno, I thought she pulled herself back inside the car.

Something pulled her back in, but that head impact was sickening

EXCITING ROVER UPDATE!

Four hundred and eleven fucking quid to insure! Four hundred and eleven! That's two tickets to GnR, and two nights in the Premier in in Shoreditch. To drive a 17 year old Rover 25 with 65,000 on the clock. Four hundred and eleven!

So, all in all, it costs me £151 a month to get to work (mot cost, insurance, fuel, tax), and a season ticket on train would be £100. That extra £2.55 a day is mire than worth the two hours extra a day taking the train.

how is the train taking an extra 2 hours per day?

That's low mileage.

20 minute walk to station, change at Leeds, arrive then 10 minute walk from station to work.

Looking at it, i would need to leave house at 0640, to arrive at work at 0830, then leaving at 1700, id get back at1830.

Driving is 50 minutes in, and an hour back.

Yes, it was 56k when i got it, full book of stamps, no rattles etc, so $800 cash is a helluva deal.

Add Mrs A (which I'm sure you have), and add a friend (you can use me if you like). My insurance went down when I added Craster as a named driver (not that he can drive).

I was going to suggest a fold-up bike to cut the journey down, but the change at Leeds sounds like a killer. Hard to argue with the Rover there.

I take a fold up bike for either end of the train, saving loads of walking time. But it doesn't change the train's fundamental problem of being on a relatively irregular timetable. Finish work 5 minutes late? Get home 45 minutes later than had you finished on time.

You can do it now, no? You can change premiums when you like.

Full replacement exhaust bought at the weekend (cat, centre pipe, back box and fittings for £217 pretty good value, was expecting the Cat to be more eye watering, but now thinking I could have bought half a Rover). getting fitted on Weds evening by a mechanic recommended to me by my brother in law.

Operation 'Get the horses back in the engine' has begun!

Yeah, it's a pain. The station is on the trans penni e line, but not a stop for that train, so infrequent. I could cycle to work on my cycle to work bike but there's no showers here, and Bradford traffic is lethal

If you don't cycle to work on your cycle to work bike I think it's technically tax fraud.

I use it regularly for part of the journey

Throw the cat away, obv.

If they're cheap, stick a map sensor on it before any re mapping, half the time they're out of whack. And a nice air filter in the box.

How on earth would they check? It sounds like a term/condition just put in to justify it being a work bike.

Considered it but then it's the MOT faff/fail.

They pretty much just shrugged their shoulders when I took the Puma in.

They did, howver, insist that it had at least one silencer in it.

"I shouldn't be able to look up the exhaust and see the engine."

Well, I've bought it now. I suppose down the line I could always swap it out myself. It's going to the garage this time though as I'm sure it's all the original gubbins that will be a right PITA to remove.

Under no circumstances get it done. There are no benefits to you and a substantial chance of worse mpg and poor running.

Software only for the 1.2 and 2.0. A silly mesh filter on the 1.6 as well.
It shoves a lot more exhaust gas back into the inlet so you are running on used air rather than fresh.
