  1. That is really good value as 9 bottles from CYC would be about £75!!
  2. Yeah fair point. They probably donate £££ to charity, but in my opinion it was a bit crude and vulgar. Yeah, I've bought a few BMW's which could be a bit construed! Depends how you look at it, some would argue a BMW is unnecessary, when a small cheap car would do the same job. I cant argue the point with you but I think you know what I was trying to make. Yes, absolutely and I do agree. It's ridiculous how much some people have and the RR dealer in Dubai has the easiest job in the world.
  3. ^ This! Don't forget that it's also 8 years old! Not many cars would go that long without needing a new clutch, especially one with ~300hp. For the record mine is the same age and about 45k, but still has the original clutch. I'm expecting mine to go any time, but no signs so far.
  4. Good shout. Might order some Aqua Wax as this was really good stuff to use in Wales when I couldn't be arsed drying the car before waxing!
  5. Who's to say that those rich people don't help others? I'm sure they all give more money to charity each year than I do... and pay more tax (So indirectly helping poorer people). I'm not having a go stuarty, but you seem to have had a string of nice BMW's recently. Why did you buy those over a cheaper car and helping others?
  6. Am I being retarded, but is there a price for the jack in this thread? It's on sale at the moment for £27.91 + delivery
  7. I always flash and wave, but rarely get a response. It's kind of a running joke between my girlfriend and I as she thinks it's a bit tragic watching me get excited about another Zed and then failing miserably to get a reaction. One of these days someone will wave back!
  8. I believe that the torque figures listed are for dry (Un lubricated) nuts. Because a lubricated nut is easier to tighten and therefore requires less torque, so if you apply 120n/m you are over tightening and potentially damaging the nut / stud. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure I've read this somewhere?
  9. Wow, that certainly is big! Can't believe you didn't remove the wiper while you were at it?
  10. I would say not to put copper grease on the studs, but definitely on the surfaces which will be in contact with the hub and wheel. The reason not to put grease on the studs is that you can over torque the nuts as they are effectively lubricated and therefore easier to over tighten.
  11. Internet Explorer 11 is utter shite and doesn't seem compatible with a lot of forums. You can't quote and it will miss letters out of words. I'm guessing Micro$oft couldn't care less as this has been an issue with ie11 from day 1... Chrome or Firefox should be installed immediately.
  12. 5w30 preferable or 10w40, fully synthetic and a good brand like fuchs / silkolene / millers etc.
  13. Do pheasant rules apply if I see it lying by a cattle grid? Looks amazing Ady, can't wait to see and hear your car in May!
  14. A good and reputable LPG conversion would be about £3k... That's a lot of petrol... At 40mpg and £1.35 per litre that's nearly 20,000 miles of petrol.
  15. Sorry Fluke, I can only do the 5 colours above.
  16. Back by popular demand... I think they look really good and make a huge difference over the grotty originals (Even if my bay is in desperate need of a clean! ) HR and DE Versions available: DE Kit - Bolts/Washers 1-41 (82 Pieces + 18 extra bolts for Spacer) - £52 Delivered DE Kit + Engine Cover - Bolts/Washers 1-41 and 45-48 (90 Pieces + 18 extra bolts for Spacer) - £59 Delivered DE Engine Cover Only - Bolts/Washers 45-48 (8 Pieces) - £9 Delivered HR Kit - Bolts/Washers 1-14 (1-13 are basically identical in position with 14 being for the left hand airbox on the HR) and 39-44 (40 Pieces) - £32.50 Delivered Fitted: The Kits are available in the following Colours: Blue Black Red Gold Silver Please Note: I will not place an order for the bolts / washers until I have a minimum of 10 orders (At least 7/10 have to be DE variations). I will not place the order with the suppliers until everyone has paid in full. I am using 2 different suppliers for the countersunk and cup washers so they may be slightly different shades / colours. Buying a set for myself has cost around £70, so you are getting a bargain! Pro-Bolt would charge you well over £100! Please put your names down if interested: i.e. Paddy78 - Blue - DE 1.

  17. I've still not taken photos of mine, but Graham will be along no doubt to show off his bulge! Cal, don't change it! The carbon looks mint!
