Why did they say the steering wheel controls do not work? Going to install a patch cable soon which should get them working, it's an ICT 29-004SW as the non-SW has a 3.5mm jack instead of a wire, but you can just cut off the jack apparently.

Cheers Sam, exactly what I was lookin for! Off to B&Q it is then, can't beat a bit of DIY if it includes saws.

PM'd about cargo net

Had my low profile Liftmaster trolley jack turn up this morning, that hasn't gone well Do you guys jack the car up from the front or side when using a trolley jack? Can't get to the jacking point so I used the Zeds scissor jack on one side to help it a little bit to only find out that when the trolley jack does fit under the car and be where it should be, I can't jack it up as the handle needs to go up and down but going up hits the front bumper. Should I just buy some bits of wood or car ramps to help get the car up? Ramps would be fine for sorting the O2 sensors but I wanted to get all the wheels off at the same time!

Think the deal that came through my door was this: http://shop.virginmedia.com/bundles.htm ... rts=DM_158 Seems decent for the VIP one, works out £62 a month after cashback, nearly 50% less than what I pay Sky! It just depends what the Tivo box is like as my current sky boxes are so much better than my parents V+ ones.

Always a good sign when you're vigin them a nice sum of money every month Have you gone for TiVo? Be interested to hear what it's like as my parents old V+ box is godawful and I've just had a letter through the door about swapping to VM and it's about £30/month less than I currently pay with Sky. Biggest difference would be going from 6mb ADSL to proper broadband!

Mine passed at Lockwood & Greenwood with HFCs fitted but I do still have the original cats from my 04 if you want to borrow them for MOT? I'd sell them but I know I'll end up paying more for a pair when I come to sell the zed! Just PM me if you do want to borrow them, I'm in all week, M28.

Been watching it get relisted over and over. He bought it himself on eBay for £176 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170803012475#ht_500wt_1204 only a couple of weeks so wonder why he's selling so soon! I heard a couple of people say they suffer from heat-soak which put me off buying it.

I'm 26 and currently with Admiral Multi Car, I think on it's own it was something daft like £2200. Multi-car dropped a good wedge off that which was nice. I can't go for any specialists or Sky as I've got a Manchester post code

Can add me to the list, bought and tested today! User Name: TomS Location: Manchester OBDII Software:U480(?) Not sure but it works!

RTB used to have a thread somewhere with all prices and material didn't he? Can't seem to find it! Looks like I will go the route of wrapping the centre console, any ideas about the lower door scuffs?

How difficult is it to wrap? How much vinyl did you need? I might go down that route but I thought it would be very difficult due to the dials and round the gearstick, do you do it all with 1 sheet to stop seams?

Has anyone plastidip'd part of their interior? I know a few people have done wheels but wondered what it's like in an interior. I've managed to get a small scratch on my cubby door and it's been annoying me for months, since I have to take my headunit out to put a steering wheel patch cable in I thought I might as well sort out the dash. I've also got a few scratches on the inside of the drivers side door where I get into the car in a rush when it's peeing down and scuff the door, so that needs sprucing up as well! I also came acrossGtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer which looks great for restoring faded trim but wondering if it would cover up the scratch or just make everything darker with a small lighter scratch still visible, anyone have experience with C4 (not that kind!)? Vinyl wrap is another way of doing it but i don't fancy trying that as I know I'll **** it up and vinyl isn't exactly cheap.

Perfect timing! My rear one went a while ago and front one a week or so ago. Hopefully they can get both! Do you know the product code for the rear washer on http://www.currentcare.co.uk ? The front washer is on Amazon and few other places for much less than £45!

Just in time to get some more Megs shampoo!

Ridiculous in Manchester last night and looks like it's the same today. SO windy and ice cold outside, mad to think I was out cleaning the car for hours last week!

Looks nice got a shot from further out?

Camskill is the best price I've found for 2x225/45R18 & 2x245/45R18, comes in at around £426 without fitting obviously. That's £200 for the front pair and £226 for the rear.

Yeah I was tempted by 18" but having seen 19" LM-GT4's on the car I definitely prefer 19"

Thanks for the URL CS, just looking for a second hand set at the minute before I dive straight into new. I'm looking for them in gun metal.

Need new tyres soon for my Rays so I might as well move up to 19"! Looking for them with or without tyres.

Just to say I own the same headunit and it's top notch, doubt it'll take long to sell!

eCommerce didn't help their cause but employing people who didn't, on the majority, give a @*!# about what they were doing or selling never helped. Going into an old indie game store and chatting with the owner/employee about some upcoming games was well worth the extra couple of quid than buying online. But going into an overpriced, poorly staffed/trained shop with no interest in gaming isn't going to get you very far! And the fact they had a ridiculously number of shops within walking distance of each other, I'm sure at one point there were 2 Game and 1 or 2 Gamestation shops in Manchester city centre.

Think it went for £2200, great price if the bracket is as strong as it was originally!
