    He had a 2.0l mondeo engine in that, slight sleeper as it still had the 1.6 sticker on the boot

    There was some real crackers, the Orange mk2 is a regular track car, yet could easily sit concourse and walk it. Built from scratch it was utterly stunning in the flesh. The GT40, the owner is 82 and still drives it, i'd throw my back out just attempting to get in it

    Out of curiosity, what is the lowest risk profession ?

    Hi Simon, My point is regardless of what sector I provide support to im still IT, how does the end user being a teacher or a chef or whatever impact my price ?

    As the title, heading over to Unity this weekend. Anyone on here attending ? Would be good to catch up with a few members for a coffee and natter. Save me from the RS4 lads

    Lets see if we can get an answer to this one this time.... I work in IT, but when I said it was IT in the Private Education sector it was cheaper than when I put IT field engineer in the Hospitality Sector. Additionally, the first quote (current price) has Business use, commute and SDP the latter was for SDP only. So Same person, same car, same address, same job type just in a different sector. Very different price. Be very interested to know as im currently thinking of making big changes to my cover, she is sat in the drive most days now and only comes out at the weekend.

    This morning about 7am ish, A720 at the roundabout. Nice Z
  11. Willsy1980
    Welcome along! Z is looking great Would certainly suit some carbon door handles too, look forward to seeing your next tweaks

    Is it a big job getting these installed ? Guessing its not a weekend spanner job in the driveway ?
  13. Willsy1980
    Phew! Thought I was losing my mind. Been over every inch of the car and never found one.
  14. Willsy1980
    Is there ? Where is the filler ? ive never seen it.

    Yeah the paint does appear to be quite thin, my main aim is to get it 70-80% better I don't think high 90's is possible without too much risk. Lucky they are really fine marks and nothing that requires a heavy cut. To be honest they are not really noticeable, but I know they are there and it bugs me

    As a side on this, I know pressure is subjective and will vary depending on the size of the gorilla holding the tool.... But what would you suggest pressure and speed wise ? Just enough so it doesn't bounce or hop or enough to slightly compress the pad on say a 5 or 6 speed ? Is faster better ?

    Wasn't brave enough to start with an 80, but the 120 seems to have removed some. Got an amazing metallic effect in places now
  18. Willsy1980
    Lovely motor. Not sure if they would help with the sale or value etc. But I have a pair of stock intake hoses I removed from the Nismo along with the jubilee clamps. If you want to put it back to 'stock' in that sense you can have them GLWTS
  19. Willsy1980
    Much appreciated. Will get that combo and give it a go

    As title really, as the meaty part of the meet/show season approaches, what is the best fine compound/finisher for use with a DA polisher to remove those annoying ultra fine scratches/swirls/flecks that inevitably accumulate over time. Not deep but visible when the sun catches them just right. Tried Maguires compound and finish neither worked. Autofinesse Triple masked a few but doesn't really seem to polish them out. Tried a firm black pad and a softer yellow pad with at least 8 passes on 4 different areas same result.... So, detail guru's point me to something that works please

    Yeah sailed through, treated her to a service while she was in. The master tech and staff there love her to bits Think we are off to a show at Southport today.
  22. Willsy1980

    Exactly this, if your foot is not on the clutch, it won't start and just turns on Aux power

    Yeah i'd try a window reset as above, mine did this after disconnecting the battery to change the steering wheel. Every time I opened the door it would drop 10mm and not go back up. 1. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.2. Close the door.3. Open the window completely by operating the power window switch.4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then hold the switch more than 3 seconds after the window is closed completely.5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by the automatic function to confirm the initialization is complete.6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other window
