Moved to a more appropriate area. Maybe one of the traders would be able to offer you some advice as to who they use for shipping.

Hold on. I'm confusing my 350 with the RX8. I think. It was a long time ago and I'm old and frail

Looks like an unpleasant contact with a lamppost. Hopefully the driver was ok.

When I had my 350 I did similar light upgrades. I even changed the puddle lights in the wing mirror. Looked pretty good at night when you unlocked the car as you approached.

He wants to keep the burnt effect. Not scrub it off with wire wool.

Too abrasive for burnt tips. It'll take the burnt effect off over a few applications. Certainly did on my 5zigen.

Providing there is a catalytic coverter which passes emissions then yes. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk [/quote]Sounds promising. Would love to hear an MOT testers opinon. [/quote] An MOT tester is unlikely to post up on a PUBLIC forum about what he does and doesn't give leniency on during an MOT.

[quote name='Jetpilot' timestamp='1452365233' post='1572196'] Strictly speaking, any vehicle where a catalytic converter is missing where one was fitted as standard will fail the test, so my understanding would be, 2 are fitted as standard so one cat would fail, there is a couple of testers on here so maybe they will chip in. [/quote] It's more with regards to diesels I think? Rules changed in Feb 2014 regarding cats and DPF's. If they were OEM fit they had to be present. MY Z32 is pre 95 so passes emissions with decats fitted. Although I removed them within 2 months of ownership due to the horrific drone they created.

No need to feel singled out. The Team are only human and particular busy. Sometimes adds slip through the net. And Swaps are a difficult one. A simple pic of the rear of your car with your username on a piece of paper would have more than sufficed.

I drive to or from Aberdeen every 3 weeks and the A1 is one of the options. If the weather is crap, it's the option I generally take as it's an easy road to drive generally. If it's ok weather though, turn off the Edinburgh Ring Road (A720) just before A1 and head down the A68 to Jedburgh, and then on through Ponteland to the airport. Much more enjoyable road (no dualed bits though). Plenty of Cameras on Scottish side of the border on both roads. Once you cross into England there are only 2 cameras between border and Newcastle.

This thread makes me miss Le Mans Every year I say I am going back, and every year something bloody comes up meaning I can't.

BT really are a shambles. A number of years ago when I first moved into a flat and set up BT they over charged me for set up and activation etc. So I called up and explained the situation and asked that they refund me the difference. Which they agreed to do. 2 days later I buggered off to sea for 3 months with no email access or phone access. Got home, checked post, had a number of BT letters, debt collector letters, and general bollockings demanding payment. So looked into my bank statements and found instead of refunding me the difference they had refunded me the entire payment. Which then meant I owed them circa £50. Instead of just adding this to my monthly bill to resolve it whilst I was away they decided to sell it on. The reason being "you owed a different department". The debt agency were very understanding and after producing copies of my bank statements and bills from BT they withdrew the debt.

Sorry, but that made me laugh Trouble with the sponsor ones is the Gallardo, as it's a very long door and very little space to add anything else before or after. Same with the Elise, really. Just put "PENIS" on the doors then

Or do what the RX8OC twats did to me when I went with them in the 350z and covered it in Mazda decals.... So stick a variety of "rival" badges on cars.

Top Gear style made up sponsors? So when a door is opened it says something uncouth?

Touring v2 alloys are more commonly known in the UK as GT4 (as they came on the GT4 special edition). Initially they were only available on the GT4 but then some where released as options. As your car is an 04 they wouldn't have been an option at the time so a previous owner has purchased them second hand and put them on.

They're nice cars. My sister in law bought a new one in Sept. I've driven it at times and quite enjoy it

Didn't Abbey do a write up a while back about tuning packages for the QQ?

Mondo at hide n seat. He's a trader here

Honestly expected to open this thread and see StormHorse in it. *shudders*

The LS engine is a great piece of kit. For £14K though you could get a newer VXR8. Obviously the loOKs are significantly different to a monaro but the build quality - especially the interior is much better.

Start gathering information on what your car was worth. Use Parkers, auto trader, forums etc to find examples in the condition yours was in and their value. Use that info to fight with the insurance I'd their first offer is too low. Stick to your guns on what you need to replace your car.
