  1. You can’t buy them in this country any more though, sadly.
  2. Definitely go 3” straps, and preferably 6pt so you don’t run the risk of submarining in an accident. I’m not familiar with the bar you mention, but assuming it’s a brace between the two sides of the car and is of a reasonable thickness, then I’d be comfortable using it as a harness bar. Should be okay if you use wrap around harnesses too.
  3. Source? And if possible exact figures, as my cynical head is saying that’s only possible if it’s a country where Jag either sell 4 vehicles a year anyway, so it wouldn’t be hard to suddenly have 90% of sales be from a new car
  4. As Adrian says above. Basically if you have 19” wheels or bigger then it’s the PS4S for you, if 18” or smaller then PS4 are still excellent. I run the PS4 and they’re better than the old MPSS.
  5. Not a lot, or a very lot. I can count the number of times I've used a torque wrench out of considered necessity on one hand, the amount of times I've used one because it was just as handy as a regular wrench on a few people's hands, and the amount of times I've used it for wheel nuts I've lost count. In reality there's two types of torque setting, JE (Just Enough) or FT (F***ing Tight) JE for sparkplugs, FT for most other things! Should you use one every time? Of course. Do most people? Nope.
  6. *tyres I only ever ran N rated on mine when I had the warranty, but then I happily ran without a warranty for the last year of ownership too. Sack off the warranty and enjoy the car.
  7. How many miles has the car done? What weight oil are you using?
  8. I have a set of Roland HD1 which I use, and after trying a few different kits I found the sensitivity and feel of the Roland stuff to be just that little bit better than the competitors. The HD1 has long since been surpassed by Roland, but I’d still be towards their kit if I wanted something new.
  9. Intro to Iron Man 2, up until he starts speaking on stage. AC/DC ftw. Also Independence Day for the rumbling of the craft when approaching LA, because a well setup system is about subtlety as well as power.
  10. If you have anything on there that wasn’t on there when the car left the factory, it’s a mod. If you didn’t declare it, then there’s the very real risk the insurance company could void your insurance. Admiral are particularly hot on this, too. That said, if you didn’t hit a person or property then they’re unlikely to look into it too much so I wouldn’t worry about it right now. However, this is why I say to always declare everything, because the last thing you want to be worrying about after a crash is whether you’re actually insured or not! I’m puzzled about the wrap though, that’s definitely something they want to know about so I’m very surprised that they didn’t care when you told them. Very odd indeed.
  11. I lost a bit of performance with my Popcharger on a Revup, but it was worth the trade off for me to free up some more noise. Losing 5 bhp is neither here nor there, but extra tingly aural fun is always appreciated But yeah, Alex is right of course. As with anything, you always stick with closed airboxes for performance.
  12. I suspect they're brilliant to drive, and I've love to have a go in one, but those looks... I just don't see the beauty that every one else seems to. The proportions are just all wrong, especially on the back end.
  13. What mileage is this over? I know you say it's not many, but it's more important that time. Short trips I assume?
  14. Don’t let G Man hear you say that!!!11
  15. Merc on that list for wafting, best seats ever. Jag a close second.
  16. I doubt there’s anything in it tbh. Not anything you’d be able to notice comparing one over the other.
  17. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/c/torque-wrenches--tools/ Too two hits, one half inch and one 3/8. They’ll do you just fine for generic automotive odds and sods
  18. Sadly, yes. However in this case it’s also much more likely that’s the issue, as I can’t see how an O2 sensors could cause a MAF code.
  19. Afaik the Scorpion stuff is interchangeable with OEM, so it should bolt straight on. Scorpion don’t make decats (again, afaik) so they’d prob be another manufacturer. Get some photos if you can
  20. Just pick up an oem exhaust for buttons and swap it back when you go on track. That said, just a backbox shouldn’t put you over, do you have decats as well?
  21. Good question. In theory I guess it could, but I’d expect it to affect both sensors not just one. I’d prob change the MAF first and see what happens from there, make sure you get a genuine OEM and not a cheaper one, it may appear to work well at first but ultimately it’ll likely end up causing you more grief.
