  1. If they're non-OEM, you must tell them. The least they can do is not care, the most is load your premium so much you'll wish you'd paid for OEM stuff
  2. I think the Acle Straight could be over that.

    So what sizes did you get?

    MP4-12C

    Nothing is faster than a Corsa with the rear seats folded down. Nothing. I don't like the MP4-12C. It's ugly on the outside, and they've had to engineer character into the car because owners were complaining. I expected more from McLaren.
  5. In the real world, ST. Easier to access the performance and more forgiving handing. I'd still rather drive the Zed.
  6. BBC. Lawrenson is an utter *****, but he still has more charisma than anyone on ITV. I'd much rather Sky were allowed to show it too, that really would be something special then.
  7. Wasn't that bothered. Fancied a new car, the Zed ticked the boxes, got my local dealer to get a few in and I bought one of those. I know what you mean though OP, that's exactly how I felt before buying the 911. Well, apart from picking holes in it, as I was too excited and didn't give two hoots at that point so was desperate to sign my life away!
  8. Spain 2-0 up so far, Balotelli getting the hump, looking good so far
  9. Definitely a warranty issue Expect it to happen again though, Nissan really don't use a decent coating on their wheels
  10. Your Zed looks seriously awesome btw, love the all-black look
  11. Yes. Proof or GTFO. And what made you think that leaving out important details like that for your first post on here would be a good idea?
  12. You sir, are a knob jockey of the highest order.

    I didn't say every two weeks The methods I mentioned should be taken as preventative ones, not reactive ones. Injector cleaner goes in when you fill it up so takes 30 secs extra, 10K Boost can be done with the MOT or service. It won't eliminate it entirely, but it will make a huge difference. I can see your point though, but I guess I feel the benefits of a DFI engine are worth the downsides.
  14. They're the only thing keeping you in contact with the road. Tyres degrade with age. A new set of tyres is about £500. An equivalent Mini is about £10,000. Armed with those bits of info, I'd say it's totally up to you. Vik is correct in what she says from a legal point of view, though.
  15. What is the question that your own insurer is going to ask? If it's "Have you had any claims in the last five years?", then your answer is no as your company is claiming, not you. If it's "Have you had any accidents in the last five years?", then your answer is yes as you clearly have. If it's "Have you had any accidents or claims in the last five years, or anything else that could effect how we register your risk?", then see above. Just tell them regardless. They'll either not care (0.001% chance) or they will be very interested and adjust your premium to suit. If you don't tell them then you are holding back a material piece of information, much as if you didn't declare the 22" rims and three turbos you have installed to your car.
  16. Dodgy wire somewhere. When cold it's all nice and together, when the engine is warm it expands and cuts out intermittently. Look for any sign of damage to the main cabling running in the engine bay to and from the battery, especially anything that runs near the exhaust manifold area. Just a guess, but those are the lines I would look along.
  17. It's also a lot more fun when driven at 9/10ths, but that may because of the extra skill needed.
  18. I'd be queuing to get in before then. Even today, with the rubbish weather, people were sat in the traffic trying to get in for over an hour. Better off getting up an hour earlier and having to stand around for that hour than sitting in the car missing stuff.
  19. Get there very early, and have a look at what time the cars/drivers you want to see going up the hill are on first then plan around that. Seeing as you're only doing the one day and things tail off pretty quickly on the Sunday I'd make a beeline straight for the top of the hill, and spend a lot of time up there taking in the atmosphere and hopefully grabbing some autographs. The rally stage is epic, anything going down there is worth a watch. If none of that appeals then stick to the lower level, lots of trade stands and super cars to gawp over, plus all the manufacturer stuff too.

    Not a major issue, once a year can of 10K Boost + injector cleaner bi-monthly will keep things clear. All DFI engines can be prone to this, however the Audi units do seem to suffer worse than most.
  21. The Roadhawk system is increasingly popular amongst the folks on PH. Depending on how you view your own driving, they're either a fantastic idea or a wonderful piece of evidence for your own prosecution. Must admit, I'm tempted.
  22. Sollis Panelcraft in Harlow. I've used them for paint repairs on my old Azure Zed which is hard to match, and my brother used them for replacement bumper and paint across the car on his Temper Zed, which is even harder to match! Very professional, and the quality of the end result is second to none.
  23. Ouch Ask your local dealer who they use for bodywork, then go speak to them directly. Or let us know where you are based, if Essex/London way I have a recommendation for you
