You using all the insurance companies that are advertised through the forums? Adrian Flux, Greenlight, Sky Insurance and HIC are all specialists in our kind of insurance needs so give them all a shout, worth a morning on the phone with them.
You could always put out a charity plea for some people to donate various parts to help your car get fixed, I've got stock parts from my 6R that are just sat around so if you ever need something, give a shout out and see, you may end up being able to repair/replace stuff at a fraction of the cost of new stuff.

I'm going to start getting quotes at the start of April as my insurance is due May 1st... I just had to check rough costs early to ensure I can afford to live this year :( I'll worry come April if I can't get it down to about £800, because that's top end of budget! Current quotes are coming back at £1400 and I only pay £613 currently. Greenlight will be the first I try as I've had a bad experience with Flux.
I'd never ask people for cheap parts to be honest! I can't be bothered with the comments I'd get because I'm a female asking for free/greatly reduced stuff and that's just frowned upon. I tend to just struggle on through by myself haha. I've asked for a wage rise in work because right now it's going to be the only thing enabling me to keep my car. 2017 has not been fun so far! :ashamed:
Thank you for the offer though, that's very kind of you :love:
Morgen:
Insured with HIC for £870 including protected NCB and all mods declared :pomppomp:
Oh and I broke a rear spring, they're only 3 months old... Oops. However, NOTHING else has broken!! I just need front pads which I can live with :happy2:
Morgen:
Okay, to update anything since March, here we go!
I posted in April that I needed front pads - I don't. It appears the sensors broken but that's a job for another day.. The orange flashing warning light is annoying but I have a severe lack of motivation for the car at present so it can wait.
Oh and the rear spring that I broke looked like this:
Broke down at McDonalds, think the battery had gone flat (after about 10 minutes, should probably get a new one lol).. Was rescued by a friendly man in a mk7. Happy days
The car had it's bi-yearly service!
Came to the realisation that the car is too low on noticing my driveshafts are trying to notch the chassis for me. Eek. Raised it at the front!
The usual happened where somebody bumps into my car and doesn't leave a note. Fabulousss
My boyfriend asked me if I'd lost something, turns out this was left in his street when I left one morning. RIP undertray.
Bought an RCD510 to go with my mk6 climatronic panel. I've read that it'll probably drain my battery though so I've not bothered fitting it. It can stay in a box for the foreseeable.
The boyfriend managed to drive my car into a kerb at his house.. My sideskirt is a mess. However he has offered to repair this AND get the rest of my car painted for my birthday (was the 24th May but I guess he's got priorities haha) so I can't be too annoyed about it I guess.
The car also appears to be letting water into the drivers footwell; I've read that the bonnet pull seal or whatever it was can perish and that might be the issue. Need to investigate this one ASAP
Bought some wheels while drunk.. £350 for some RH ZW4's that need a polish but have had a recent furb. Seems a good deal even when sober.
Went to cumbriavag! Didn't take mines even though Adams engine is falling out again..
Got a photo when we were back in Glasgow though... MK2-MK5 golfs! Our friend had his mk6 but had to get home quickly so missed out unfortunately. We also know people with a mk1 gti and a mk7 gte. Could be a cracker of a photo!
I'll update rest soon, just checking the photo link works because tinypic has blocked my works IP :confused:
Rob1:
:happy2: to the last picture, its only right to take another picture and include the Mk1, 6 and 7
