Incorrect. It’s not “now an offence on TfL”, it’s been an offence for years everywhere. And how anyone can see this as a bad thing is beyond me; there’s a world of difference between looking around and making someone feel so uncomfortable in your actions that it becomes an offence.

Very surprised they didn’t do a static test, I’ve never done an MSV day where they didn’t do one. That said, it’s the drive by rather than the static that catches people out, but I’m 99% sure you’ll be fine

Bedford is strict, but I’d be surprised if a Miltek tripped their meters. It’s not that much louder than stock at all, assuming you have standard cars on still.

Which OPC do you use?

I’d hope it was sorted one way or another after almost 7 years

Bit surprised the tuner hasn’t had it fixed by now tbh, I would guess there’s something up electrically but if it’s stopping that working I’d expect you to have another fault pop up somewhere.

When was the uprev tune done?

I think that’s awfully cheap for something with so little apparent damage. Take that as you will.

About as likely to happen as I am to start stroking myself to PZeros.

Go and test drive one and let us know. Or is that not how people actually buy cars these days any more?

Outside someone’s house, no. At a public show, fair game.

And no photo 👎

I’d say £6.5k is a very sensible number to aim for, pop it up at £6995 you’ll get that sooner rather than later I suspect.

How much would you take for it?

I did, briefly. Utter crap, as it will sound like you’re listening to a tape from the 1980’s (unsurprisingly). Do it properly and change the head unit out for something better, which isn’t hard. Even the cheapest Pioneer jobby will be a vast improvement.

You still need a new engine bud, preferably before it leaves you stranded somewhere.

What a bellend.

God bless MS and game pass and I don’t have to worry about buying games full price

Can’t stand the place either, way too much noise to signal ratio there for my taste. Haven’t bothered with bracing at all on mine but then it’s a road car, however if they do half the job they do on MR2s and 350s then they’re well worth having imho.

The mx5 seats are a bit crap, however I’ve used mine with a mk2 CG Lock since day one and that does rectify pretty much every complaint you could have with them. I’ve got a sparco sprint seat in the garage I keep threatening to install, but I love heated seats that little bit too much! Def get yourself an alignment, as it does transform the car as they’re very sensitive. I remember driving one when they first came out and hated it as it felt so numb, however mine with the fast road geo from Wheels In Motion is pinpoint sharp.

Normally a small pin or needle will clear the nozzle, but if that doesn’t work then it’s an easy job to replace and cheap for the parts too A sanity check for any kinks in the tubing isn’t a bad idea either.

Where have you got it advertised for sale? Tbh even as a Cat D at that price I’m amazed someone hasn’t sniffed around it.

I’m not looking under mine. If I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. Much how I treat religion.

Tbh I’d be taking £15k for a Cat D car that’s six years old. Assuming no finance outstanding, that’s plenty to buy you something interesting. No chance of your back improving? Say, six months down the line so you can keep it? I’ve had spinal surgery too (although obvs there’s different ones!), so to an extent I know what you’re going through.

Anything is possible, but you’d be looking as custom kit which won’t be cheap. As much as you love the car, it will sell at the right price so I’d look at trying something else instead, even if you take a bit of a hit on yours to do it. Better driving something than nothing. Stick with your original plan and trade it in for something
