  1. I'm not fussed with paying £1100 for it. It's not that big a deal. Paying for 2 would have been at the moment.
  2. I'll have a look at my paperwork and see if the other side has already been replaced.
  3. I'm sure they'd advise me if they thought I was better off replacing both at the same time
  4. Yeah I thought that too. Design911 are selling the part for £1000. People replace in pairs to avoid having to go back to get the other one sorted, but I was dreading the cost as it was. I would rather wait until the other one goes and sort it out then.
  5. So last week Thursday on my way from home I got an error pop up on the dash. PADM - drive carefully. Took it back to the garage this morning and the left dynamic engine mount is faulty so will need replacing. Whilst googling PADM when I got home last week, I read that I could expect anything from £1000-1500 for one engine mount or £2500 to replace 2 of them. I'm worrying away thinking bloody hell, this might be expensive. After taking her to Cridfords, and having a diagnostic check, I'm happy with the £1100 they have quoted including labour and VAT. Booked her in for the 11th to get sorted and then I can get back to some spirited driving. Never had such good MPG in her 🤣
  6. They sound better than that IRL. Don't forget you can never judge a YouTube video Vs real life aural pleasure.
  7. Poor Yorkshire_Zed, all he wanted was opinions of people who have done the move or have experienced both cars. This thread is now pretty much 95% useless information or arguing without experience.
  8. Porsches aren't all that. When I was 18 (back in 2000), my mate always used to bang on about how he beat a 911 off the lights in his non modded Suzuki Swift 1.3GLX. That's obviously the car we should all aspire to have. Cheap and fast 😂
  9. Well as usual, I just want Ferrari to do well. Don't care about anyone else too much. Although would be nice to see Alonso and the Haas boys do well.
  10. Video of Carla starting up from cold 😍
  11. Just sent a reminder to all of them via our WhatsApp group, to say that this Monday I'll be leaving at 6.30am. All my neighbours have now replied to say it doesn't bother them as they're already up at 7.30am getting ready for work, be it WFH or going to work. So it's definitely just him.
  12. I get on better with them, all bar 1 of them. She's pleasant with me but I think he gets on quite well with her but has moaned to me about her before. Not before perving on her 17 year old daughter. He's in his early 50s. I've warned them all that on the first Monday of each month I have to get to work for 7am so have to leave at 6.30am. Otherwise leaving at 7.30am, I don't think warrants a warning.
  13. We used to get on well and I'd go drinking round his. We'd put on music on and just chat about music, F1 and stuff. He'd always moan about all his neighbours (one of ours, one behind him and two to the left of him from another road). Should have figured he'd be like this.
  14. Unless I win the lottery or meet someone else who'd want to move, this is my forever home. So I'll try the start and drive thing. Just wasn't sure if it's bad for the engine or not. I'm an admin for our village Facebook page and last week his sister was moaning about someone with a loud car waking her up at 7.36am. I take it that the whole family are like this. Although his mum (70/80 years old) has always seemed nice to me. I'd help her with stuff in his house when he was away or if he needed me to do something for him as he wouldn't be back for ages.
  15. Yeah it does have the sports exhaust. Sounds lovely 😍 So I've heard back from most neighbours and it doesn't bother them, so I'm happy he's just being fussy. I'll try driving off straight away and if he doesn't like it, he can move 🤷🏽‍♂️
  16. Yep got CCTV covering my house. Does colour at night. Went for commercial grade CCTV as opposed to the stuff normal people buy.
  17. The kids next door and a few of the neighbours would love that. They like their cars.
  18. If I could, I would buy his house as he has a garage and I like my neighbours, well not all of them now 😂
  19. Valves are open at idle and then once you start driving off, over 1000rpm it closes. Opens only if you put on sports or sports plus mode and go over 3500rpm. I'll try driving off straight away. Yeah I'm on just above average UK salary, he's on at least 3 times more than me. I'm very lucky to be able to have this car. I'd never have been able to afford it. Just seems nuts. So far 2 neighbours have got back to me and said no issues. But not asked who does have them. I won't say who.
  20. You can't control if they are open or closed. Ecu does it.
