I use the 10w-40 Silkolene Pro from Opie Oils. You'll find them in the forum discount section

down to the dealership. Some have turned there nose up in the past partly to protect the sales of UK cars. I know TDI North are more than happy to carry out the work and you would be using a tuning specialist. They also charge near half the amount per hour for labour

the only main disadvantage I can see is when it comes to you selling it on after you have had your time with it. There are plenty of independant garages who can do the servicing. The JDM will save you money over a UK car leaving you some spare cash perhaps for some mods. I am a UK owner but don't know of any JDM owner who has any regrets.

Brilliant post will add the post to the FAQ

had the aluminium sill guards fitted for 2 years, never scuffed them yet. Stubby was the first mod and not noticed it being poor in reception.

chris and enjoy the forum Do a search and you'll find what things to look out for. It has been covered many times Not had any grumbles myself with two years ownership. Main thing to look for is clicking rear axle and skipping CD Bose stereo.

lexx get one bought, you won't regret it

stan enjoy the forum

The members who have had paintshield fitted swear by it and no reports of it cracking,peeling or gooing yellow, you can even polish it. It's only a shame that it's expensive. Always found Mer to be a pain, leaving white powder everywhere. A few of us use Meguairs

just checked, got it on Vinyl

time for a new laser in ya BOSE. Known problem

Got the film on VHS if that helps

I did the same once when changing my kickplates. I managed to get one via Spill from a scrappers. See if there are any on scrappers on ebay selling parts rather than looking for a specific item. Otherwise try Mike (MrF) at MJP and he'll be able to supply new at a reduced price.

couldn't agree more Ricky used to put up several post a week in the spotted on ebay section. Lucky if it's 1 a week now

it was me
