Don't suppose the car has been jacked up recently has it? My mates car did this, took a day or 2 for it to settle back down to an equal height on each side. May be something completely different in this situation though!

Good luck! I'm avoiding driving in it if possible, CTR doesn't seem to be the best car for these sort of conditions!

I slid down a hill a couple of weeks ago, almost hit a parked car, then 200 yards down the road got it stuck and had to walk a couple of miles back home. Fail.

When I had my Astra I had the aircon regassed at KwikFit, I spent 2 and a half hours waiting around (as they told me it would be half an hour which is why I stayed) then when they were finally done, the guy that did the work drove it out the front with my music blaring out louder than anyone...

lol a friend of mine has a Celica T-Sport, hes 21 but has no ncb and less than a year on his licence. he pays £3200. Crazy!

I know what you mean, in mine and your eyes its not an issue, but being 20 I wouldn't want to give them any reason not to pay out if I had an accident!

Sorry, I should have looked there first really! Thanks for the info

Hi Everyone, Has anyone had experience fitting their own foglights to a facelift EP3 and knows how tough it is to do? Might get a set of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250465825698 Think it finishes the front of the car off a bit nicer than the black holes!

I just got got a quote from performance direct to see what it would be... £5500!

I would love to pay £600! Even £900 i'd be more than happy with!!

I'm 20 and pay... £ too much lol
