  1. I think its cheap for the UK! If my numbers come up this weekend I'm buying it
  2. Simplest would be to replace the solid plastic one with the perforated one from the GT.
  3. Anybody got any recomendations for a good car detailer in Leeds? It's for my sister, any it's specifically interior work, not paint correction.

    The dampers can last as little as 3 years (ie the warranty!) if its driven in all conditions. At about £60 a pop it's not a disaster, and the dampings that basic anyway you probably wont even notice ones gone until your MOT tester tells you its leaking Various bushes go too, usually its the lower arm ones - the bushes can't be replaced, so it's a new arm. A bit wasteful but none of its very expensive.

    Cheap and cheerful Mate. Just consider the suspension components as consumable items and you'll be fine!
  6. Nice engineering, shame about the bodyshell.
  7. Hehe, nice van marrow! Just needs those mirrors and bumper colour coded now
  8. We have the same vintage 350 Andy, and TBH the 370 isn't enough of a step up for me to justify the price. Yes the interior is nicer, but less storage, and the driving experience and engine are very similar, especially in day to day driving.
  9. As someone who pees off three times that height at work, you'll be fine mate! Don't forget that you'll be looking mostly upwards during the abseil anyway, just try to relax the death grip on the rope/descender now and again Oh, and why are the Petronas towers 'shopped onto the powerstation??
  10. Boot needs a hoover though!
  11. One of these days, Lewis will get to finish a race...
  12. Fran's booked us in at Whinners cas it's local. If we do another, it'll be Dirt School at Glentress I recon. Work has looked kindly at me tonight and it's supposed to be a weather day tomorrow! Not wanting to kill my rock and roll image, but my present off my sister was some baking trays...
  13. Not in the same way. This integrates with Connect Premium and is a built in feature of the device. For 2009 I understand you can get a box that will act as an AUX input and give the image from the camera but no lines. My loom will be up for sale shortly for those with CP and MY2010 Why? You can probably guess.
  14. Cheers folks! 1) I'm on the boat out to work, but the weather is indeed v. nice. 2) Fran is supposed to be doing me a cake today, but I've made muffins for the boys at work - I'm way too good on them! I've asked Fran to book us a skills day at Whinlatter, and I think my folks are giving me some cash, so may go and invest in a decent set of lights for the bike
  15. Tyre compound, pressure, (and a sensitive right foot) will have much more effect on grip than any minor change in contact area. Get some winter tyres on for the cold months, and if your geo is ok I don't see why you can't drive year round.
  16. The ground is so so wet! Went over the bars into some quick-mud!
  17. I'm glad you went there first! My lady too is more academically adept than me, I'm hoping for a future life of leisure riding my bike!
  18. Must have been too cheap, sold in minutes, sorry Steve.
  19. One pair of Tein bonnet dampers. Dampers themselves are very good condition, just a couple of tiny marks from installation. Mounting hardware is mostly in good nick, barring a couple of nuts and washers which, unlike the rest of the kit, are a bit rusty due not being stainless. You can't really see them once installed anyway, but I will have a look and see if I've got any tidier ones knocking about. £50
  20. Images not displaying for me Chris? Edit: sorted now, but yeah, instagram OTT!
