Not got a huge amount, say £2k or so, so looking for something around an 02 plate

Need to be suitable for a tall person

Good economy is a must, as is reliability (especially now)

Not bothered if it's petrol or a diesel to be honest, but needs to be comfortable to drive

Not bothered by much else to be honest, as long as it goes and is cheap to fix I'll be happy :) ]]> finlay666 http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-automotive-cars-bikes/175732-2nd-hand-suggestions.html http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-automotive-cars-bikes/175679-gear-stick-movement.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:24:41 GMT A mate of mine asked me if this is normal? He has a very slight movement of his gear stick when he accelerates, it pushed forward very slightly but enough so that you can feel it if you have your hand on the stick, when he moves off the accelerator... A mate of mine asked me if this is normal? He has a very slight movement of his gear stick when he accelerates, it pushed forward very slightly but enough so that you can feel it if you have your hand on the stick, when he moves off the accelerator it moves back again. We are talking a few mm here but I said I would ask around for him.

thanks

Dad tells me its useless going third party fire and theft/comp because of the excess is about £800 +more insurance!.

So far ive found quotes from Bennett's and "Just" to be cheapest, Bennetts is £215 and Just is £203, question is what ones better? Ive never heard of Just and so has anyone actually had insurance through them?. Anyone able to suggest cheap insurers? Looking on go compare+bike insurer and several independent ones(Aviva quoted £1200!!!).

Any help is appreciated :).
