Insurance
Well, I'm going to mention that I followed all the advice on martin lewis's moneysavingexpert website, and registered for quidco, a cash back website, which makes all internet purchases a little less unpleasant. So I used Confused and go compare, and got myself £1.82, twice, once for each quote, and...

I used the links in moneysavingexpert, to direct me to a free-phone number at o2, and vodaphone to unlock my phones from the networks, and it was FREE.

Because the 1.6i Ghia Orion was an XR3i in a suit, that appealed to more mature people, and is rarer, and with RS Turbo Wheels looks the dogs balls.

Re: Bodywork issues on a mk 3 cavalier sri saloon
What everyone said, sills, rear arches and chassis legs, but I was amazed how bad mine, was found whilst repairing the sill. Lie down in front of the rear wheel, slide yourself under so you can see the inner sills, where the inner rear arch meets the inner sill, there is a strengthening bracket acro...

Re: MOT fail again
Ignore the advisories for now, what was the issue with the handbrake? An did they have the car at temp for the emissions? For the jagged rear arch, round off the sharp bits and gaffer tape it.

Re: Best Place to Buy ... metal work
Imperial delivered 2 sills instead of one, so If anyone NEEDS a passenger sill in exchange for say a rear arch repair panel, or something else you think I need, I'm happy to swap.

MOT fail again
So I spent The Jubilee Weekend fixing the handbrake and putting 1/2 a new sill on the passenger side, and now it's failed on hand brake, emissions, a jagged edge on the rear arch, and numerous advisories.
I'm waiting for a price as I just don't have any more time to piss about.

I'm in 2 minds. My 1.8 is sitting in a garage having failed the MOT on lots of spurious issues, and the guy is pricing them up, but wondering if I should cut my losses, and buy this.
