:ROFLMAO: I hadn't considered the camouflage!

Good luck with the search, sounds like a needle in a haystack... currently more BMW approved used Z8's than Handschalters for sale. Such a shame they didn't sell more of these, it's possibly my ideal semi-retirement car in a decade or two, but the rarity might keep the prices out of my reach...

If buyers are paying more than you think a car is worth, then perhaps the car is worth more than you think? I mean, it undeniably is to that buyer. I agree re the upper percentile of AT, of course if a car is priced higher than all the comparable alternatives then it will take a long time to...

Price in between the next highest mileage and next lowest mileage cars of same type and same year. Adjust slightly based on spec if feeling optimistic. That's as complicated as it needs to be. Photograph well, detail condition etc and maintenance done. Hasn't failed for me. Quick look on...

Sorry, I didn't see the edit until after I posted. Don't worry about it, I was being over sensitive anyway!

Not sure that was necessary, but fair enough. Have a lovely afternoon.

If that was the supercharged S5 era you should have bought anyway, it's worth the hastle of constantly hunting for Tesco Momentum...

Not always, you can't run through every possible situation in a few hours on a dyno, and a dyno can't remove the possibility of human error. As Pondy will tell you, no one gives a s**t these days ;) To be fair, I doubt many who have it done on a dyno take the time to actually understand what is...

I've had 2 remaps without a dyno (one done at home myself, one done professioanlly) and one very expensive remap done on a dyno. It's only the one on the dyno that caused any problems, havign to go back in a couple of weeks later to fix issues with the engine cutting out. Admittedly that was a...

I used a Celtic dealer for a remap on my Yeti and was very happy with it. I guess with any remap there's always some risk of greater wear.

I love the green button, don't listen to the haters!

My 2.0 was a disaster too - undiagnosed emissions problems that my local indie was not keen on dealing with. I think it was my first thread on here. I sold it on with faults described and no MOT at a loss of at least £2k in the space of 6 months. I think the new owner took about a year to get it...

I'd be curious about the cause of that oil leak too. Might be worth listing the reasons why this is worth more than the many lower priced 2.0's with lower mileage on Autotrader. I think it's somewhere around Stokesley in the North East, if anyone is interested....

Funny creatures, women, aren't they :ROFLMAO:

I've hidden the invoice for the tuning of my Audi in the shed. She'll never find it in there, too many spiders.
