They help other drivers know that the owner is a cock :)

Just to update, but the quote was wrong. The lady wot does the phones was working remotely, and missed the valve clearances off (perhaps a non-M quote?). They called back and gave me the correct quote, and I asked him to see where the screenwash was leaking from whilst it was on the ramp, and...

Looks like it is a Z3 based kit car.

To be honest, these things should pass their MOTs. They're performance/enthusiast cars, and should be looked after. In fact I'll go as far as to say most MOT failures are down to rust or neglect. Apart from tyre advisories, our MC had a ARB ball joint dust cover split in 2020, advsory for worn...

Yup - dead easy. Apart from the "lift it out" bit. Took me a lot of faffing before I worked out just how to twist and roll it to get it in and out :) I need to play more tetris.

I tend to agree.. But it is largely down to scare stories on the internet. We ran an MR2 roadster for 7 years to 100k, apparently it was the only one in the UK that idn't ingest its pre-cats if the internet is to be believed. Similarly we got 6 or 7 years and 20-odd thousand miles on a...

Actually, if a Mod can do it then that would be Handy. Not-Devon Paul :)

I tried to change the username but couldn't work out how. Managed it on PH, but not here. Still called Paul, except the third Saturday evening of each month when I go by 'Susan' ;)

Probably not actually - they have got wide. The 12C is thinner, but I thought the GT/570GT would be more 'useable'. Besides, I'm in shropshire now (which is little better) and it would be my daily :)

And now gone from the site as far as I can see. Doesn't come up under 'Sold' anyway. We've still got one for that sort of money if I can prise it from Ann's fingers - in for an Ins2 next week ;) Then I can get a McLaren :)

Just spotted this.... https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/18480498 Be an interesting gauge of the market.

Rather strangely Specialist Cars called back this am. £600 + VAT, not inc differential oil which apparently is separate. Now I'm thinking this is too cheap :(

Had a few quotes for Ins2 and brake fluid, rather surprisingly not a massive difference between indys and main dealer at £1100 - £1400, although the dealer did seem to struggle to get a price after starting at £1900.. This includes Differential oil, although one place said they could use the...

Thanks all - I'll do some phoning around.

Need to do an Ins2 on the wifes MC, plus a couple of other bits. Any suggestions for places to go or not go in the Shrewsbury/Shropshire area? Happy to travel for the right place. thanks.
