  1. http://www.detailingworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=306456 Also http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=288660 but there's no actual testing in this one though.
  2. No, no, no. You've completely missed the point. You need to buy a kit which moves the hinge away from the rest of the car, not the latch. It'll look "well mint, innit, blud". And aid with cabin cooling. Possibly. Panel gaps FTW, yo!
  3. I think you're thinking of the relatively recent to the change in law that states if it's taxed, it must be insured. If it's SORN, there's no requirement other than it must be kept off public roads.
  4. If you also tell them you're actually 42 and really you have 20 years NCB, it'll be even cheaper still whilst also being no more illegal than your current fraud.
  5. It depends on if the OP means bonnet dampers or adding a couple of washers to the hinge to make it look like the bonnet doesn't fit properly... Fallen foul of getting distracted mid-reply again, curses!
  6. Don't get me wrong, I realise that would be the extreme and far from the norm, but just as an example. However it's not beyond the realms of possibility, however unlikely.
  7. But if they had reason to suspect a remap had been done, say a post on an internet forum mentioning it for example, I doubt it would be much effort for them to "consult" someone who had the software and could tell... If you're not aware, and it can't be shown that you might be aware, then it shouldn't invalidate your policy should it not be declared - it's similar to proving intent in a criminal case though, there's not definitive way of proving you were (or weren't) aware.
  8. I KNEW it!! Can you divide mine by 7 though, please? Your random number selection wasn't quite as good as another's today.

  10. That would incur the wrath of the "have you cancelled any insurance in the last 3/5 years" question though. Best bet, I would have thought, would be to take out a limited mileage plan for 12 months. That would probably work out cheapest. Have you HAD any insurance cancelled in the last 3/5 year Not Have YOU cancelled any insurance in the last 3/years It's to check if you've been a very naughty boy and lied then been found out or if you've failed to pay premiums. Good point. Please excuse my brain fart moment.
  11. Does that mean my insurance should go down with the bhp if I DON'T get an Uprev?

  14. Funny you should say that. Mine's due shortly so I've started the merry-go-round, the meerkats gave me Admiral as the cheapest with x amount. I did the same quote but through Admiral directly online (identical details), it came to x amount +£30. I phoned them to confirm a couple of things, nothing was actually changed on the quote yet they "confirmed" a third figure (x amount -£9, incidentally). I'll be seeing which random numbers the forum supporters can come up with in due course.
  15. It's the date they're first registered in the UK, so it's possible to be imported in February 2006 and sat around for a few months before being registered in April 2006, it'll still be the higher tax band, but the principle is still the same.
  16. If it's anything like mine it'll be filthy again by the time it gets to the end of the drive. Looks good though, impressive reflections!
  17. In about 470 miles - every 9000 miles or 12 months (whichever is sooner). See here.
  18. Plenum aside, the engine bay looks much better. Some nice beading in that first picture too.
  19. It should just rinse off, especially with a pressure washer if you've got one but even just with a hose.
  20. Yes, it's completely safe for paint, just don't let it dry out.
