Autoline in Wigan are pretty good, Alan is a decent fella and won't rip you off. (it's the one on Cricket street im talking about, I have no experience with the one in Pemberton) Or you can try HB Panelcraft in Preston, not the cheapest but they were the approved Porsche repairer a few years back (probably still are, not been for yrs) Then there is Karl Vella in Skelmersdale, again not cheap but do a good job.

Yeah, given the number of Merc engines on the grid and only 1 person suffering repeated failures, something not right.

Think that's the title for ROS now, Lewis just has no luck at all this year.

Thanks for the input, Stormforce it will be then... When covered, is it worth throwing a few de-humidifiers in too ? 1 in the boot and 1 on the center console ? Or would you go with a 5mm gap on each window to let it breath ? I do plan on firing her up once a fortnight, worth it ? or should I just let it sit and drip a bit of oil in before firing after the hibernation ?

First mod I did, space saver out. Make a replacement from polystyrene

Thanks, was thinking the same. Yeah it will be outside, in the corner of the drive. There is reasonable shelter from the wind and worst of the weather, the house and trees/shrubs then the Kuga in behind it.

Congratulations, stunning location too. Better not let the other half see this thread....

As the title says, im on the look out for a tailored cover to keep the winter elements off the Z (Rdstr) Does anyone have experience with these http://www.carscover...02-ONWARDS.html ? if so, which one and how good/bad was it. Also, im open to suggestions of other brands or 'off the shelf' covers that will do the job well.

Yeah for me they should test using all 3 main configs FF FR 4wd would give a more complete overview of what the rubber can or can't do.

It's one of those situations where you notice it & accelerate a little to create a reasonable gap, and the driver behind in their pokey 1.6 diesel or VAG Tdi lump immediately do the same as if it's a competition. I can be very hot headed when driving in situations like this & have in the past just stopped in the middle of the road & got out of the car 'to have a word'. In most cases immediately after there's the safe distance gap behind I was hoping to see. It seems a lot of people nowadays don't leave a decent gap in anticipation for a hazard in the road or an emergency stop. Just a little rant I felt the need to get off my chest . It's usually some tool in his Corsa 1.2 round here, just show them the brake lights then drive away.

I just brake check them to find out

Looks very similar to the Pulsar

Would a good old strip and clean, re-grease not be better ?

I'll swap you leathers for cloth, no problem

Is the car on finance or a loan or anything ? If not i'd just patch the obvious stuff and trade it in against a better one, could be a cash cow that one.

Spotted near Platt Bridge/Bickershaw Last night about 6:30 looked like Gold Split rims ?

You can pop me on too, Wigan

I think there is a guy in Swansea who does replacements fitted for about £300 ? https://www.facebook.com/JackRSmithMotorTrimmers/ There is a review from an S2000 owner who got one done for £290 Worth a try, let me know what he quotes as im looking to get mine done too

Cheers for the welcome everyone, had a decent drive in it today 130 miles of Mway and town, managed to average 27mpg so doesn't seem too bad. Did keep the pedal use to an acceptable level Just out of curiosity, how much does the P3 cost these days ?

Quick update: Everything went well, no signs of rust etc. Car drove well, none of the walk away noises, the fluid levels all checked out. Only downside I found were the rear tyres are rather cheap looking, I have to assume as they were an advisory on a previous MOT while with a car sales, they just kept costs down.... Predictably, when going on the test drive it was raining and after several days of sunshine the roads were a little greasy. The back end was very lively, even what I thought was a light roll on the throttle would result in lighting the wheels up and require catching the slide. So I bought the car Gun Metal Grey Roadster, little over 18000 full dealer service history to 2012 at 10000 (7 stamps with parts recorded) So im thinking it's due a full service soon... Price wise, I gave 6k in cash plus trade in on my ST170 Comes with 3 months Warranty with warranty wise at Silver level Thoughts and suggestions welcomed.

Great info, thanks guys. Will report back with the outcome, hopefully as a very happy Zed owner.
