  1. Found it... it was in the glove box behind the passenger seat... which I've had the under tray out of before looking for BT stuff (in a roadster ), god knows how I didn't remember seeing it in there!
  2. Surely that's 600 miles since they changed the speedo etc?
  3. So probably in his kitchen draw then? I'll go have a dig around in a minute.
  4. Hi All, I've got someone coming to refurb my alloys in a little bit and completely forgot to check where I'd find the wheel nut key on a '07+ Roadtser... I'm guessing the boot somewhere? Sorry if it's been asked before - I've had a quick search but can't find the answer. Haydn.
  5. I think dealers are still liable if the sell a cat D without advertising what they're selling, with private sales it's very much buyer-beware though.
  6. Didn't Virgin get the irony that their broadband is limited by congestion just like the taxis in London?
  7. If the photo's are posted at 8pm, when do answers need to be submitted? I'll be out tomorrow night and expect to get home some time on Thursday.
  8. If the sale falls through I may be tempted by the y-back bits, assuming it will fit the standard y-pipe (well the Mortordyne y-pipe which is the same fitment) which would with the above request for just the y-pipe might be more tempting to split.
  9. Eh? Alonso is 8pts ahead, 25 for a win and 15 for 3rd... that makes a win in my book...
  10. What if on the last lap of Abu Dhabi the order is Vettel, Webber, Alonso... surely Redbull could assume they'd be given the same fine as Ferrari for team orders and allow Webber to pass? Being Ferrari though I bet Redbull would get penalised points which would be even more annoying!
  11. Congratulations Daryl (and Redbull)... looks like another bad year for McLaren. Hopefully Redbull will get the drivers as well, I'd hate Alonso to win after the team orders at Hockenheim.
  12. "If it is below 10RGs you will be directed to perform a series of tests that will effectively raise the billable hours for the service department, but will perform no other useful function" Why does that sound familiar??

    rear diffuser

    Is it just me that doesn't like the loopy bits on each side of the diffuser? Other than those bits I quite like it.
  14. That's incorrect, even if a dealer says "sold as seen" it means sweet FA - terms like these don't exempt them from their legal obligations. (Private sales are a lot less protective of the buyer but that doesn't matter here). You may want to seek free legal advice, but I'm pretty sure that the car isn't as advertised (although probably still fit for purpose) so you should be entitled to a refund, although the garage will probably (begrudgingly) offer a replacement before that, after a bit of arseing around... at the end of the day they should have HPI'd the car themselves before purchasing it or excepting it as px so should have some form of protection themselves to recover their loss. I'd just turn up and see what they offer, you might be pleasantly surprised, and if you're not you can just say you'll think it over and leave and then research some more - the Sale of Goods Act 1979 is your friend here. There's a fairly good article on Autotrader here: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/advice/2010 ... ning-a-car
  15. Why not use 1 of these? (About £4.74 from amazon) Alternatively, if you want the cable hidden somewhere, you could get a car charger for the phone/ipod, strip the 12V -> 5V electronics from inside the cigarette plug bit and splice that on to your 12V source.... or just splice another lighter socket to your 12v source, fix it somewhere hidden (under armrest cubby?) and plug the car charger straight in to that.
  16. No wonder button did so bad in qualy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11704802
  17. you know the prices @ Chilli Red have now doubled for you right?
  18. I don't know what the act of muffin is, but I don't think I want to be doing it to a mule!
