Apologies mods as I wasn't sure where to post this?

Would anyone be interested in doing a swap of my 1.4 Sporting 16v for an MJet?

1.3 MJet or 1.9? 1.9 would be a good choice, hope you get a taker!

I really can't see any benefit whatsoever for the MJET owner.

You'd be better off selling seperately and hunting on your own.

I went from Derv to petrol last September as my car usage changed for work, the OP may be lucky & find a Dev owner in a similar position. I know I sacrificed some performance for that...

I spend less on fuel now & 6p / litre cheaper but still having 43Mpg is a win.

So did I, but the performance difference wasn't that much.

Your Sporting does look good though PuntoBooth, that I will say.

Cheers Magic, a lot of time and money has gone into it. But (don't ask me how or why, im clueless) insurance is cheaper on a 1.9 than my 1.4! Which is bonkers!
Hence why i fancy a 1.9.

Has your birthday been since you took out the policy?

It was my birthday mid july yep why?

Be cheaper now that you are a year older.

Yeah but as cheap as a 1.4 sporting? Odd.

Do a new quote for your 1.4 sporting and I bet you'll find that's a lot cheaper as well, silly insurance companies don't take account of your age in anything less than years, so basically a 18 years and 364 days year old lad will pay considerably more than someone one day older than him, just because he's actually hit the number.

But anyway, your car does look great at the moment, but if you're dead set on getting an M-Jet for the power/fuel consumption. Stick it on sportlines/coilies and that heavy diesel lump will make it so low you won't need your splitter anymore, and perhaps it could go to a new home, like on a Blue T-Jet for example?

It will be all the mods as well.

Well ive done a future quote to see what it'd be like in March (approximately), and I'm still not understanding why my 1.4 is 700 quid more a year than the 1.9. Crazy.

If I was to get a 1.9 i'd take the rear diffuser, Abarths and grille with me.
The problem is with the Linea splitter.....how do I remove it when it's part attached with Tigerseal glue?

no idea why theres such a big gap in the insurance prices so far :S im 20 and upgrading from my 1.2 in a few weeks to a T-jet, but i looked for insurance on a 1.9 mjet aswell and they both turned out about 1100-1200 to insure, no big differences at all.

For the splitter maybe you could get a heat gun on it or something and slowly prise it off? then use some nova clean spray or something to clean up any residue left

Nice looking car....Im almost tempted by your offer....

Unfortunately insurance is absolutely bonkers but £700 difference

Despite having bigger engines dervs are usually cheaper to insure than petrol engine cars.
