  1. Not long after buying my car it needed an alternator, thankfully covered under warranty. booked it in to a local indy and the process for both the garage and the warranty company went smoothly. No dash cam fitted at the time, however i did set both a movement and speed command to the vehicles tracker which would text me the moment the vehicle left the garage and if it went over a set speed. The vehicle movement alert came to my phone but the max speed never did and the vehicle was taken on a nearby dual carriage way by them and fair play to the tech didn’t break the speed limit. The moment the vehicle was taken on road test and back to the garage, they called me up to advise of the update which is all any customer can ask for along with the above.
  2. The garage didnt unplug the dash cam, the tech did
  3. It's electrical, can last 5 weeks or 5 years just like a telly in my mind sadly.
  4. You could take your buckets, shampoo, pre wash, mitts and wheel brush to a buy time jet wash. I did this for years and still do now and it's great. £1/£2 ie the minimum to get things going with your pre wash and jet off for your 400 seconds allowing time to also part fill your bucket. Wash the car as you would then normally taking as much time as you need. Then another £1/£2 to then finally jet the car off. You could then pull the car round to the side to dry off or the drive home will do this for you - bingo. My Local BP is just £1 for a few minutes, so £2 is all that's needed.
  5. Developed a very annoying metallic rattle from the steering wheel and instrament cluster area. Turned out to be the three 10mm's holding the ECU in place had come loose, yay easy fix. Next up, intermittent clonking clutch pedal.
  6. I've not heard of this swap being done
  7. Check tyre pressures, as these could be way to high.
  8. New ride looks wonderful!! any plans
  9. Few pictures from Ace Cafe London the weekend. Fell on a really nice day weather wise, so much so that I didn't even feel the need to re clean once we got there which was nice result!! Even held its own parked next to a newer 350z with only 28k on the clock.
  10. These are who we use http://www.drivertransmissions.co.uk/ Worth a call 0121 440 3476
  11. Before doing the above mod, turn your OE head unit up to about 2/3 up then turn the key off and remove the head unit. Supposedly it gives the amp gain, which then carries over to the new unit resulting in no lost in volume.
  12. Or A38, that's where all you racers go LOL
  13. Mrs 06 Note original battery was replaced start of this year, which she killed from repeatedly not closing the tailgate fully.

  19. IMO the OP has the car closer to trade value as mentioned. The same car at a garage would be 8.5k as deal of the week.
