You should have changed the oil 3 times in 18 months

I is due a new oil/ filter - not due to mileage, but time.I think it has cracked 800 miles in that time!

But it is on ebay as we speak, as I am moving house and it has to go! I was planning on a strip down this summer (noisy thrust bearing)- but that is out of the window!

Just out of interest have you got any insurance quotes yet?

I'm 21 and looking at putting one of my series' on the road as my main car, 4 years no claims but the comparison sites are throwing up ridiculous quotes, even more than my current daily drive (Focus ST170) I do plan on getting a few quotes off the specialists at some point but haven't got round to it, these things usually happen at this time of night lol

I paid/am going to pay £950 for a '77 series 3 88" petrol with overdrive, fwh and a few other goodies, but that was from the girlfriend's uncle...that's with MOT as well
As a comparison I paid £700 I think for an '82 series 3 109" hi-cap pickup that needs a decent amount of work, it's turning into a long term project and taking longer and costing more than I planned it to! But hey ho. They probably seen me coming at that price but you don't see many hi-cap series 3;s about so bought it mainly for being different

i have been searching for insurance quotes (not for the landy) and cheapest and best site so far has been beatthatquote.com worth a try....

i'm 18 no years no claims and when i did a quote with adrian flux it was 1.2k
make sure you ring them, online i think it turned out £3k something

wow you could buy a fleet of series for that price. makes you wonder why people risk driving without insurance at them prices. (not that i condone it, nor would i ever do this or encourage anyone to do it).

i agree, the rediculous price we have to pay is mental, i know very few 18 year olds who have a good paying job, and yet out of the money we do get it has to go to mostly insurance
but 1.2k is amazing compared to most of my friends, my mate just got his quote through, 6k for a 1999 corsa!!

I paid £500 for my S2a 1963. It was a bit of a heap. But now its taken me to London-->Algeria and back and London-->Morocco and back...so has all been worthit it the end

glad i aint 18 anymore, i am moaning at having to pay £300 for an old 306 glx 1.8 at least the series is only going to be around £100 when its finished.
