They'll no doubt charge an admin fee to take it off, and then another to put it back on as well.

Aye, I was going to make that very point, i.e. that you might save less than you think once that's deducted.

You may find TFPT is more expensive than fully comp (yes really)

If you needed to use a car quickly, insurance & MOT is important, tax can always be added afterwards, because it gets backdated to the start of the month.

Do they still do Fire & Theft?
I remember some years back the price was the same as Fully Comprehensive.

You would just need fire and theft cover, surely? Not full cover for accidents while driving about.

But if you cancel the insurance and the car is in your front garden and not in a lock up garage, that could be a bit risky.

We have two cars parked in the garden, neither have moved for a while, so I'm also considering a SORN on one of them.  BUt the best way of saving money would be to cancel the insurance, which being in the London area, is extortionate.

The trouble is, no one knows how long this will last.

I found this one.  It was on the replacement bumper that I used to replace the one I broke on mine.  So I have never used it, but it looks OK.  I also have the plastic cover, if you need that. It's in the original silver - possibly Titan Grey.

If you would like it, PM your details and I'll find a way to get it to you.  I'm not supposed to go out, as I'm on the vulnerable list, but my wife won't be a vulnerable age for a month or so!!    I need another bunch of pills soon and the post office is next to the pharmacy in the village.

Well with the current restrictions, I'm not really getting the benefit of being able to enjoy driving the Aero at the moment.

Given that it is not my main car, I was wondering if I ought to SORN it until this all calms down. But if I do, then I won't be able to use it at all!!

If I had a garage I could put it in to rest, I would!!!! Then at least I could get on with some jobs on it!!!

I might have one of those washers.  I'll look in daylight tomorrow.  I'm sure that I have one with the fixing hooks broken because I took it out he wrong way around, but I might have a good one.  Not sure which side it is though.
