Re: Short Journeys [MK2]

It's NA. Deffo can't insure a Turbo #-o

I am talking very short, should be taking the bike but it's too cold at 7:15 am journeys. Mile and a half to 2 per day... tops. A 20 mile round trip once a week and then proper use at the weekends.

Short Journeys [MK2]

Cheers.

Re: Should i pay for it or do it myself...

It really is easy!!! I used to do it for a living and they're charging you £200 for running a few cables and plugging your head unit in!

Have a go, you'll surprise yourself :thumleft:
