Another build thread

Just got my insurance renewal. I'd been dreading this following the 'incident'.
Last year it cost £150. Renewal price £340
Quick ring round and I got it down to £150 with a different insurer though

I was with Adrian Flux, now with 2gether.
Got a reasonably good quote from Frank Pickles too.

£250 sounds a bit on the high side!

I got mine from a-plan. Were the cheapest for me apart from 2gether but they didn't seem to know what they were on about.
£195 inc legal cover and ins to drive to iva, which a lot won't do.

Not sure where handyandy got his from but last time I spoke to him it cost him more to tax his roadster for 6 months than it did to insure it! £94 iirc

Blimey, that is cheap! Didn't think Handy Andy ever got his on the road
Anyone know what happened to him?

Very happy today.
Ever since I first built the car I've had trouble changing gear. I'd really struggle to get it into gear at times and occasionally the gear stick would lock completely solid.
Stripped down the gear turret and found a loose, slightly mangled, grub screw floating about in it!
Went out for a drive this evening without the rouge screw and the gear change is finally nice, slick, and trouble free, just like the mx5 box should be
