Well I drove nearly four hours in all to pick up the eBay engine for my Clio and it's got no oil in it Crying or Very sad

and the guy selling it said it had low oil pressure Question

It was just sitting in his back garden - getting wet through in the rain.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's no good at all Mad

LOL.

Well the Clio engine is going into the shed (wooden shed not the Clio ROFL) til after Xmas.

Got my insurance cert this morning so all I need is an MOT cert and then I can go and get a tax disc from the DVLA office. It's snowing here today though and I dunno if I can drive in snow Laughing

Got to get the train later to uni so don't think I have enough time for an MOT today.

Yeah it went in the boot of the Punto no bother. Looked pretty cool actually from the back Laughing

sod lowering - I'll get some breeze blocks in the boot Laughing

Car felt heavy though. Came back on the mway as didn't fancy all the country roads and hills. Didn't want it sliding out the boot Laughing

No they never asked me nothing! I suppose it would have been on their screens though, perhaps she didn't know if I knew Laughing

It was only Cat C because of it's age, if it had been a new car it would have been a Cat D. It has gone down as a stolen recovered though, not accident damaged.

Oh yeah I forgot about them Laughing

What do you want? A Subaru keyring? Laughing

The insurance company must know that's it a Cat C if the HPI register knows and the insurance company that wrote it off in the first place. It musn't make any difference though when insuring it?
