  1. Mate you are in for a huge surprise, you will love it. I'm still on cloud 9 grinning like a cheshire cat. Bet you can't wait, are you managing to sleep lol
  2. Dont worry i had my berks installed last autumn and i had no probs until december hit and i got the ecu light on when it was cold. Its the lamder sensor detecting a difference in air flow i think (no expert). Id reset it and if it was cold it would trigger again. Its nothing to worry about but i wouldnt drive it around with the engine light on incase another problem occurs and you miss it. Short term perform the reset and see if the light comes on again. More longer term its usually sorted out by the people who perform the uprev so it doesnt keep occurring. Will
  3. Thanks for the info, good to know
  4. Lol was tempted but that would be a little sad
  5. Thanks for all the kind comments and glad you like rosie. Well we had our first long journey this evening, travelling back from my parents down to guildford. Heres a little summary of my initial experiences. Positives - power and lots of it. It just feels like there is so much power on tap there. Way more than i felt in the 350. - i love the interior. It looks and feels like a quality place to be. Not one rattle or squeak on the way home. - i love the connect premium. Voice activation for everything and seemless integration with the iphone, its great. Navigation system did not take me the way i wanted but its very informative and clear to follow. Pointing out little things like distance and time to rest breaks is nice. Voice activated phone works like a charm, great piece of kit. - audio syste is fantastic. Connected my ipod and away we go, sounded great and better than the old bose. - buttons and controls are all in intuitive places and fell like quality. - she looks great. I pulled up at a service station to get fuel and under the full lights the rose colour really shone. She has great poise too and looks ready to pounce. Kept looking back at her all the time while i queued lol - handling is fantastic, the car feels very very tight on the road and cornering is great. - did i mention the power.... she flew and i never really rev'd hard - fuel economy. In all honesty i was pretty amazed, she is far more econmoical than my old zed. Averaged 29-30mpg easily, the 350 on a similar journey would have drunk more. - the hood looks socmuch better than the 350 one both inside and out. No more looking up to see a climbing frame, its all hidden. - I was expecting rear visibility to be a problem but had no problems at all. - i love those bonnet bulges. Driving down the m4 with all the lights reflecting off the black bonnet just looked awesome. - i think i have really fallen for the sat nav woman. Her voice is dam hot Negatives - no exhaust noise at all. Was to be expected and will be the first thing to change. - the ride is harder, you do feel more of the bumps. Not sure if that is the suspension or the tyres. - there is more tyre noise from the road but its negligable. Also i dont think it helps having no exhaust note as all you hear is road noise - the seats were not as comfy as the 350. Mind you it took me a while to get comfy in the old car so ive just got to fiddle.my fault for being over 2m i guess lol. Seat seems to bulge a little at the base, but i'll play with it. Overall im totally chuffed to death. She looks and drives so well and i cant recommend one enough. Now im going back to sit in the car and listen to the sat nav woman again.
  6. Well that didnt take long. Wheels have been sold. Please can you lock the thread. Lol Zugara, my mum just said if come anywhere near Hereford you are a dead man lol.
  7. Update: just found a tyre depth gauge and measured the tyres. Fronts and backs are all 4mm
  8. The final little piece of my little roadster is up for sale - my rays alloys. They are in fantastic condition. I bought them from Jetset over a year ago and they were spotless when i had them. Anyone that knows Pete and his car knows he looks after his car and the wheels were no exception. Well i've tried 100% to keep up the tradition and they still shine like new and had some good comments about them on the hoon Im one of the lucky ones as there is no bubbling. Pictures are below. There is a tiny bit of marking around one rim - see pics but its hardly noticable but i want to raise it so you can see what you are getting. Also in 2 locations within the hole where the nut goes there are some small scratches but again hardly noticeable. Apart from that the wheels are great. There is still tred left in the falcon tyres. Popped into a garage recently to have the belt tightened and they stated the fronts were on 4-5mm and the rears on 3.5. I did however notice this morning when covering them in water that there seems to be a slow puncture in the rear right. But its the wheels im selling the tyres are a bonus. Pics below, any questions feel free to shout. Im looking for £420 as they are in such good condition. Pick up will be in Hereford if anyone is interested. A close up of the top left hand corner :
  9. Lol its sympathy zed pains is it then
  10. Very nice Will How about an Avatar update as well? Good call, i will have to get my creative hat on, but if anyone else far more talented than i has any suggestions feel free to contribute
  11. For the roadster definitely mention a check for seals around the doors and any tears in the hood They normally start just over the drivers right shoulder or passengers left shoulder. Id be tempted to soak the hood around the doors checking for leaks around the window and also at the bottom of the door as water can leak in here. Also be aware that 350 roadsters will leak a little. Also check the top left and right corners of the hood above the window as in many roadsters the hood pulls very tight here and starts to come apart.
  12. Lol was wondering what happened to the 01
  13. Thats terrible, just glad no one was in it. Hope you are able to get some comeback but i doubt it

  19. Has anyone had any experience with one of these lovely exhausts. I've been doing some preliminary research for my first mod for Rosie and this exhaust sounds great and is a top contender at the moment. Has anyone seen, heard or had one of these exhausts.
