Cheers that is something that I may try then Ekona, I have read good things about the Dodo juice but have never tried it.

Thanks for that ilogikal1, you have just saved me some money, I have some poorboys Black Hole left over from when I had a black Renaultsport Megane, I never thought about using it on this car

Hi ilogikal1, the paintwork is good besides the obligatory stone chips that these cars have. I do like the wet look finish that some cars have, I still have plenty of HD wax left but do you recommend something else?

Hi Ekona, yes polishing by hand, It's just that you read about some polishes being better for black/white cars, I was wondering if the same applied to blue.

So spring is here well it's supposed to be, so time to start cleaning! Can anyone recommend a polish that will enhance the colour, I have been using Autoglym followed by Autoglym HD wax!

Cheers,

Colin.

Never been to a meet so I'm going to try and make this one all being well, would be good to meet some forum members don't forget to change your clocks sat/sun if you want to be on time

Mods look great, like the idea of a spare wheel myself, do you mind if I ask how much and what size I need to look for Thanks, Colin.

Yesterday morning about 9 ish on M56, I was heading towards Chester and you were on the opposite carriageway

Hi Ray, Welcome! I'm another one from Halifax

Hi Mark, trip back was c-ap, parked up on M1 due to accident! I will give you some feedback as soon as I get a chance to drive the car again. Working at the moment but hopefully I will get out sometime at the weekend.

Had the 370 uprev

A big thank you to Mark and the rest of the team for carrying out the work on my car. It was nice to meet you all it's just a pity that you are so far away for regular service work

Cobra fit me a cat back system, they boxed my exhaust up and sent it back to me by courier for £25

Thanks for that GMballistic

Hi, My brain is frazzled with reading the forums and it's still not clear, when you have your 370's upreved what do you actually get? I keep reading about 5 settings on the cruise control, tuned, standard, acceleration, unleaded, valet, anti theft and so on, are these a personal choice and included in the initial £400 cost or are these added extras on top of the main tune?

Was it you this morning around 8:15 at the traffic lights near Wyke, I saw you at the last minute but gave you a thumbs up, I was on my way to Birkenshaw in Le Mans Blue 370

Well the car is finally booked in with you for the 5th December, look forward to meeting you and watching you work your magic on the car. I'm looking forward to seeing what a difference it makes, I hope it's worth it cheers Colin.

Hi CS, Just an update and thank you, drove over to Sheffield and had the Cobra system fit. It looks good and sounds great also fit the air filters, next thing is an uprev. They took some photos to add to their website as it is the first Le Mans Blue that they have worked on Cheers Colin

Cheers, I will see how it goes, my filter is rectangular rather than square also, like I said it went in but the opposite way

Hi GIXXERUK, I fit it with the airflow arrows the correct way, but when I inserted the filter as above it was too long to fit correctly as can be seen by richf pictures!

I changed my filter today and also used the Crosland filter, I'm just after a bit of info from the guys that have also used this filter. The Nissan one slides out with the writing / part number facing you (the rigid part). The Crossland filter is the same size but the soft part of the filter would be facing you when it is inserted, thus the rigid sides are on the opposite sides. Also the filter fins are then the opposite way, does anybody know if this is likely to cause any issues, I notice richf said he trimmed his filter down

hopefully no one on here, not many le mans....suits, me, gstraw (iirc)

And me

Hi, I'm thinking about a road trip next year to visit some friends in Munich. Normally I would just go by plane but reading some of the trip reports planted a seed. To be honest I have never driven on the continent so it will all be new to me. What recommendation's I would like are best driving routes and places to stay overnight. I will probably only have 5 or 6 day's to do the return trip so one stop off each way.

I live in Yorkshire so will probably head to Dover/Calais (Ferry) or Folkestone/Calais (Train) after that any advice on routes, things to avoid or be aware of?

Thanks in advance, Colin

Very nice indeed, need to do something to this car to get a better sound. Maybe one day I will get a chance to tag along, work seems to spoil it!

Sorry no pics, I used a cocktail stick to fill the chips also you can buy cheap artist paint brushes from the Range (shop), not brilliant but better than the chip, cheers, Colin.
