    TDI Conversion trouble need advice please

    crack open the pipes to an injector and make sure there is fuel coming out of it when u turn the engine over. also silly suggestion im sure but was it a peterol you converted it from if so have you got it all out the tank.

    Whats it worth?

    why do we have to pay premiums on what we value the vehicle to be but they only pay out what they see the value to be. why dont they just tell us the value when we get a quote and stop all this guessing work. or if we say its worth 5k and pay the premium on 5k then thats what we get back. there...
