  1. Recently fitted the Motordyne ART and XYZ pipes and im chuffed with the new set up and noise. Engine revs out easier with noticeably stronger pick up, no rasp or drone at motorways speeds either thankfully. Hopefully the eml stays away
  2. Looks fabulous!!!! Perfect eBay win, I feel maybe aftermarket wheels next.....
  3. Correct neither are factory finish alloys OP
  4. Car booked in for MOT this morning and worst still at a garage I've never had a car tested at before. Old place (of 13 years) earlier in the year chose not to renew their policy for testing - great!! Fresh eyes over ol' girl and she passed without any advisories, I even asked the tester afterwards anything to keep an eye on for next year? Said 'nothing' and joked just tyres and brakes lol After a very proud drive home, with the wife at work and kids at their favourite auntie - I set about treating the her We know what this means...... Out with the old..... and in with the MD Used super low mileage O2 sensors fitted with spacers. Ceramic coated and titanium heat wrapped Motordyne ART pipes, XYZ full merge collector with 200 cell Sports Cat. Thank you also to Tarmacsportz for the gasket and bolt kit

  7. That's good to know, the newer retailer to consumer process from my understanding is still the similar even after the manufacturers warranty period. Contact retailer, if need be submit independent report (in this case to prove the fault was present at the time of purchase) to request replacement, refund or repair. It's a shame fall out over hopefully a relatively small fix and a shame Iain has the hassle of remedying the faulty part himself. Clearly the fault was present at the time of purchase. Ultimately if this threads helps others in similar situations then it's no bad thing.
  8. For sale a pair of arguably one of the very best UHP road tyres available. Continental SportContact 6 265/35 R19 XL FR (98Y) *with rim protector Condition: New *10/10 Reason for sale: Surplus to requirements, as decided against a square set up. Price: £290 collected for the pair BARGAIN as these retail around £200+ each. Sheldon B33 in the West Midlands, very near the NEC.
  9. The Sale of Goods Act offers protection against faulty goods even when the manufacturer's guarantee has run out. The act says goods must last a reasonable time - and that can be anything up to six years from the date of purchase. 1. Contact the retailer 2. Get an independent report 3. Commission a repair: Ask the retailer to repair or replace the goods. If the repair cost is disproportionate the retailer can offer a refund of the original purchase price, though probably not a full refund. If the shop makes life difficult you can ask go to an independent repairer and reclaim the whole cost. Make sure they provide evidence of the fault. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2006/mar/25/consumernews.howtocomplain Faulty goods replaced or repaired You have the right to get faulty goods replaced or repaired if it's too late to reject them. You can state your preference, but the retailer can normally choose to do whatever would be cheapest. Under the Sale of Goods Act, the retailer must either repair or replace faulty goods 'within a reasonable time but without causing significant inconvenience'. If the seller doesn't do this, you're entitled to claim either: • a reduction on the purchase price, or • your money back, minus an amount for the usage you've had of the goods (called recision). If the retailer refuses to repair the goods, and won't replace them either, you may have the right to arrange for someone else to repair your item, and then claim compensation from the retailer for the cost of doing this. You have six years to take a claim to court for faulty goods in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; in Scotland you have five years.
  10. Looks real nice that, when the time comes I think I would opt for a 265/35 rear tyre to add a tiny bit of stretch as seen up front.
  11. I'm not entirely sure, but hopefully someone will be along thats had a similar experience with resolve.

  13. From my experience depth and gloss come from a polish or glaze, then a wax or sealant locks this in under the guise LSP. Id recommend Auto Finesse Triple with AutoGlym Ultra HD wax https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/auto-finesse-tripple-all-in-one https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/autoglym-ultra-high-definition-wax
