  1. Does not equal, or does not guarantee? I would suggest it's the latter. There are owners with lower mileage cars; who store and keep their cars fairly clean and dry, wire brush and grease or paint rust-prone areas, and service them annually irrespective of mileage. Admittedly such owners are few and far between, but not every car that is rarely used is rarely cared for. You've just got to ask the right questions.
  2. Does it? If so, how does that square with the fact that the torque curves got fatter for the Rev-Up and HR engines. The peaks were 8 and 4 lb ft lower respectively - if you can notice that from the driver's seat - but the rise begins earlier. And the HR's top end is much more spectacular.
  3. HRs and any DE Rev-Up registered after 22 March 2006 (so most of them) will see their road tax rise by £15. DEs, or anything registered before 23 March 2006, will go up by £10. See the table about a third of the way down here: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/consumer-news/88361/tax-disc-changes-everything-you-need-to-know-about-uk-road-tax . So DEs and very early Rev-Ups will be £325, and most Rev-Ups and HRs will be £570. That's quite good as I was expecting my HR's road tax to go up by £20 this year rather than £15, so happy days. As has been rightly pointed out above, the difference is a few tanks of fuel. And, in addition, you'll pay far more than one year's difference to make up the performance difference. Having owned both: the DE (Rev-Up) engine is more characterful; the HR engine is the stronger and the stronger performer.
  4. That doesn't say a lot for the ability to search on their network then. Mind you, I saw someone in a Dundee United shirt today and asked them. Despite usually having a view on everything, he didn't have a clue either.
  5. The next time you see someone in an orange shirt ask them. I bet they'll know. Probably.
  6. Italy beating England in Italia 90. I don't remember the score, or anything about the game, the only thing I do remember is seeing the England bench and substitutes joining in with the crowd during a Mexican wave. The third-place play-off is really just for the fans of the two nations involved. And, all things considered, I bet if England had won that game in 1990 we'd remember it better now.
  7. Gutted! I think there were three reasons England lost tonight's game: firstly, the final ball was usually poor; secondly, they didn't get in Croatia's faces as much as they should have; and, thirdly, England just didn't get the big decisions from the officials. The only good thing, on the basis of tonight's performance, is that we don't have to suffer the indignity of losing to the French.
  8. I entirely agree. And yet it goes on and on. I like it when pundits like Martine Keown say that if he'd done that Alan Shearer would have just laughed at him. And laughed at him hard. I also wish I'd studied Latin at school, as - on the basis of football over the last thirty years - I'd love to know what the Latin for "cheat" is. I'm thinking facetiously that it might be "natural".
  9. I'd like to add my bit of appreciation to this thread. Late last Friday afternoon (ie. before the bank holiday weekend) I ordered a few small replacement parts, which I needed fairly quickly. It turned out a couple of the parts were on order with Nissan, but with big thanks to Adrian and George the parts (or very good replacements) arrived with me this morning. I'm really happy with the way this has been sorted - thank you again - and, as I said, I will definitely be buying from you again.
  10. That's very interesting. Thank you. I need to put my thinking cap on now, but I might be in touch.
  11. Are the tips of the exhaust the rolled or single layer type?
