Finally I’ve made it onto ‘spotted’ :D - Assuming it’s YC57 *TF? If so I have just put it up for sale if you want it :wink:

No worries, thanks for the reply :)

Hi all, I’m after the two trim pieces on the dash board for my e85 - the long passenger side one and the small one that surrounds the headlight switch. If anyone has them for sale in brushed aluminium please let me know. Must be in good condition. Cheers :thumbsup:

As above there isn’t the usual green icon on the cluster to show that dipped head lights are on. I think the orange back light is only on with main beam though.

I have one in my work van. I work all over and rack up about 1000 - 1300 miles each week so it feels like it’s worth having as like all of us I’m sure, I see some pretty horrific driving :cry:. It must be a slight deterrent to tool thieves as well since it would at least get a time stamp if the...

I’ll happily stand corrected but I believe the Ultrac Vorti replaced these

Looks like you’ve done a brilliant job :thumbsup:

Hailsham auto body repair on Diplocks Estate. Did a top job of my bumper for 300 I was getting rediculous quotes... I guess body shops are used to rinsing insurance companies day in day out

Presumably you would drive the car in and they would remove and re install? Might be able to save some by taking them in off of the car? I had a bumper re sprayed and it cost about 300 in E Sussex including removal and re fit. I thought that was toppy but got several quotes and was surprised...

What Bing said - the stuff lasts for bloody ages too :thumbsup:

Is the weather seal in good condition? A good dribble of Gummi Pflege rubbed into the seal might help rejuvenate it. Presumably the roof opens and shuts ‘square’ and without issue?

I remember driving my new purchase home on the motorway thinking it was trying to kill me... turns out it was the run flats tram lining along any groove or imperfection on the road. I’d check there before moving onto bushes / suspension.

I had this done a few years ago now. To answer your questions: - 280 seems steep, personally I wouldn’t want to pay more than 200 for decent looking tips and welded pipework. - Yes I declared it on my insurance. Not sure what it added on I’m afraid. - It’s definitely very loud, and there is...

Apologies - To be honest I forgot I’d posted about this on here. The engine is a B48. I took the car to a specialist who swapped a coil pack and spark plug from cylinder 4 to one of the others, they took it home to give it a decent test drive afterwards and the fault just won’t return even a...

thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking along the same lines RE hoses and did have a brief look but couldn’t see anything obvious. It’s off to an Indy Thursday so hopefully that will shed some light :)
