Mine works fine with my HTC.

I ran out of arsed. That's a job for this weekend... maybe.

The Auto Trader links you've put up have your post code on them and there's a silver Astra Coupe parked next to your Hyundai You might want to use a different post code if you're going to post links to Auto Trader, luckily I'm just a nosey bu**er.

Tell your neighbour his silver Astra could do with a wash

I hadn't noticed that. It's just the angle the pictures are taken at, honest.

And right on cue; Quite happy with the beading though. Cheers for the comments guys. I forgot to ask, but what products did you use… Valet Pro snow foam and I finished off the remnants of my Megs Hyperwash with the two bucket method to wash - I had been using the Megs as a snow foam, but didn't have enough left so took the opportunity to try something else for comparison as much as anything. Dodo Juice Supernatural medium clay bar - first time I've used this as well as I've been using the Megs Quick clay previously. Poorboys Black Hole topped with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet. These were both new to me as well. For the wheels, I had an Iron X sampler, so gave that a go... good product, but it stinks. Then used my usual Chemical Guys sticky wheel cleaner too.Tyres are dressed with some Turtle Wax Nano Tyre dressing that I have no idea where it came from, but I've had it a while and seems to last quite well. Exhaust was attacked with Megs Metal Polysh (as were the headlights last weekend). The engine was still fairly clean so that just got a wipe down and coated in Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care to make it all shiny again. I think that's it.

Seeing as I had some spare time on my hands and the weather has been compliant, I thought I ought to give the Zed a more concerted effort for the first time since I've had it - the previous owner seems to have looked after it well, so it hasn't really needed much more than the occasional wash until now, but seeing as I had some new products to play with I used it as an excuse to try them out. There's no before pictures as it wasn't that dirty to start with really having been washed two weeks before. The only downside is that the sun's run away in time for the photos and rather typically it's set to rain heavily any time now until Wednesday! So with no further ado, some pictures; I may have gone a bit overboard on the pictures.

Fantastic results, looks great.

This. And I get the exact same responses too. I used to say "a Datson", but got more blank looks than the time I made reference to Bill Hicks

Glorified tea-boy

It's got scam written all over it. I'd wager if you were to contact the "seller" you'd receive a string of excuses about being out of the country/on an offshore oil rig and they'll arrange delivery through a "third party" (usually claimed to be Pistonheads; who don't offer such a service) who you pay and the third party will release the car to you and the cash to the "seller" when they have both. In reality, you've just given two grand away. Morgan Cars don't have it on their website so I'd suggest it's a hacked account. It's also no longer showing in the search so it looks like Pistonheads agree with me.

I noticed that mine was getting progressively worse (after I figured out the mixture knob like others ), I followed this handy guide (clicky) to cleaning my lance and it's much better now.

Definitely illegal unless the car pre-dates the change over to the white & yellow plates (1970... something I think, but I can't remember specifically which something at the moment. ).

Mine was the same on the driver's side. Jacked it up, wheel off and just prised the backing plate away from the disc slightly, wheel back on, dropped off the jack, quick test drive; no more noise.

What they all said

Strictly speaking, stickers aren't legal - although no-one's entirely sure why (clicky for example). You can get them for "show use only". I know a few people using them and the only person to have any trouble for it was the one who wasn't using a reflective background - he was only given a slap on the wrists and told to change it over though.

Show off Bought after the Budget was announced but today, I presume? I've previously bought a new disc the day after it's been announced and the Post Office gibbon explained as above (but more succinctly ) and was charged the new price. I would have expected some delay, even if was just the rest of that day, but the aforementioned gibbon insisted otherwise.

I've never paid road tax. I do pay VED though, and that's going up too... by the same amount as it happens. I believe it will go up from April 1st? So you should be ok on the old rate but don't take my word for it It doesn't matter when you buy, the price you pay will be determined by when it's valid from. If your new tax disc is valid from today, you'll pay the lower price... but lose 21 days worth, as no one's going to do this the price has effectively gone up already as your new disc will be valid from 1st April you'll be charged April's prices. I'm not sure even I understand my explanation but on the bright side I know what I mean

A bit of light reading for you I don't seem to have any pictures of any of my cars dirty anywhere... I'll see if I can find an unattended field on the drive home from w*rk tomorrow.

Looks well And +1 for Falken FK452. Black Circles and Camskill are always good places to check for prices.

I am going to have to pilfer this phrase.

I wave and I've got a 2 in 3 response wave. I was quite impressed when the 370Z driver waved back considering I was on foot and half a mile away from my own Zed at the time

There was, at some time, some ambiguity about whether a car declared SORN constituted as untaxed or not. I can't for the life of me find it now, but there used to be something on direct.gov (I think) which stated something along the lines of SORN being a form of free tax for off-road non-usage (or something as equally nonsensical...) which meant the car had to be re-taxed for on-road actual-usage before you could drive it on the road. I think this has since been addressed by someone with an ounce of sense who just happened to be passing through VOSA one day and is no longer the case though. There is a possibility that I imagined all or some of these events of course and I reserve the right to be wrong.

A real man never EVER reads a Manual Does it count if you just look at the pictures?
