  1. I was out in it but not in my zed but the clio. Was pretty scary. I usually have winter tyres on and because it's been hot I put summers on. The difference between winters and summers is massive.
  2. Toulene is a well known octane booster. Not everything bought on eBay is dodgy. Nissan dont know or care. If your car blows up you will need parts from them.
  3. eBay. I bought some a few months back to think paint. Its 99% pure too. Il get the link when im on a pc. You can only get 1 ltr at a time though. But I've read you only need very little toulene.
  4. There stuff might be different now but before it was acid. A strong one at that. First few months would be ok but after that they will dull and be left with little protection.
  5. RE050's on the front, FK452's on the back. Place your bets, which end will go first Anyway, we really need to stop the mixed tyres one before Ekona gets here +1 agreed.

    No but I nearly have. They seem legit. Good prices and they price match. Decent selection of tyres and they take Amex.
  7. +1 I need some sort of stud/bolt extractors for the front now.
  8. I would but I didn't bring a ladder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry mate I had to !!!!! really? I always thought Neil looked like this
  9. I actually find it safer with tcs off. The tcs in the 350 is rubbish. I didnt know how rubbish until I drove a low powered merc with it. Its tcs is so so much better. The 350 cuts all power but not safely and it doesnt really sense no grip and when it does which takes a while it doesnt help you. The 350 wont bite your hand off it will give you a few warning before its going to bite, although the tcs flashing might be one of them.
  10. No it isnt. He was clearly driving wrong. Braking with abs kicking in round a bend? Mixed tyres or not thats trouble.

  14. +1 im abit undecided to which wax to use myself having ever only cleaned polished and occasionally clay barred my cars Im really loving megs#16. its really really good.
  15. Cheers guys
  16. It will be fine with the alloy will maybe just shift some protection but I'm worried that the rubber might dry and crack or something?
  17. Was on my way home from work tonight where I saw an oil spil or something. I braked as much as I could be didn't want to break through it to unbalance the car which was hard as it led onto a roundabout So I only hit the spil about 15-20mph but the car was still a little unsteady. As I drove on slowly I saw a lorry with its hazards on police car behind it. Now I know it was oil as I opened my window and smelt it and it was a engine oil type smell. Not sure if it came from the trucks engine or the load it looked dark but I only saw it briefly and noticed it as my lights reflected off it. I wasn't the first person to have gone through it as you could say tyre marks up the road. After a few mins of careful driving the car seemed up feel ok but I still drove carefully to the petrol station. Not panic buying honest I was just low .felt the tyres they didn't feel oily or greasy. Got home same felt like a tyre should. So should I maybe wash them down with some surfex hd or should they be fine? Thanks
  18. Im guessing they TRIED to make the strikes meaningless and have no effect. I really hope they dont have an effect. From what I've read up and researched on the unions are to blame for all this health and safety and alot of the countries dying manufacture because they got greedy and went crazy with power with labour unable to say no because you dont bite the hand that pays you.
  19. I dont mind the lights kind look like headlights but they arent that bad. Do YOU like them? Baaaaa.
  20. Also how practical does it need to be?
  21. thats the one i meant, not clk500 there is a clk55 aswell as the cl55. Clk is a c class type car sometimes convertable.The 5.4 litre produces about 350bhp. The CL55 is based on the S class so is much more boaty but also has all the toys and rides better but its less sporty aswell. They have 2 engines the 350bhp and the supercharged 490bhp version.
  22. CL55 Amg
  23. Im cant answer you question but have you looked about importing the stuff over from the US? Can be alot cheaper for rarer aftermarket parts.
  24. Cars only 5 weeks old with 400 miles. new bmw's have terrible paint apparantly
