They worked well on the front of my xkr and complimented the falken on the rear

Yes but you'll need to contact rob at likwid art directly He's a top bloke and very helpful

still driving the Renault pi$$hatch (espace) found out yesterday along with a busted radio in the courtesy car, it also has no heaters. But hopefully my car should be ready today. They have dismantled the alarm system and found the batteries are dead in it. So have had to wait a couple more days while the new parts come in. Hopefully all sorted and I can collect today.

New knob and yes they are expensive, most go after market

they can't be cheap

what is it?

I have twin boys, not easy but luckily we didn't know what it was like to have one, so with nothing to compare it to, you just do you're best WE're in the same boat, no benchmark, so non the wiser.

I'd spend it with lexx, he could show me the tug boat, and I could pick his brains about being a parent to twins as he has the head start on me. Then go play with the 8 series. On the way home I'd stop for pint with ricey and grlnet

nope

Jaguar amethyst pearl, really nice purple, and the metallic flaks in it really pop can't find a decent picture, but I used it on my engine, and its stunning http://www.xkec.co.uk/home/Focus/paul_copson/paul_copson_xkr1.jpg

Look on a Halfords website. Likelihood is they both use the same length pax and driver wipers

yes mate, you were the year above me or was it 2 i cant remember, think you were the same year as the jagnesik brothers and my mate phil. if it makes you feel better my students thought i was in my 40's

lucy is the same, nearly got one instead of the XKR but lucy wasnt convinced, still on my list of cars to one day own

well that's the forum down the crapper! best of luck with the role its a thankless task full of blame glad to see people still willing to pick up the mantel

i'm 32 will be 33 at the end of the year got married at 26

i could see jo rocking up to work in a classic 8 series BMW

our 6 year anniversary is at the end of this month on the 30th

before i played with the XKR i used to be able to get nearly 30 mpg a V8 attached to a sensible car on sensible wheels and not boosted should achieve sensible MPG we're not talking high 30's but high 20's is do able. even played with the XKR would still do 24 mpg and that was with over 400bhp and a modified supercharger. i know its not an estate, but the Audi A8 is 4wd, has a v8, does sensible mpg and has a 500 litre boot. ok its not as useable as an estate but its still a bigger boot than most estates. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201409147382212/sort/pricedesc/radius/1500/model/a8/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/fuel-type/petrol/usedcars/price-to/8500/page/1/postcode/ip52hr/make/audi?logcode=p

lavenham and long melford is a lovely area. can't go too wrong in cunstable country

I live on Suffolk, its a lovely county, never planned to end up here, but have fallen in love with the place. Its not as undulating as Yorkshire, but the ruralness of it reminds me a lot of Yorkshire. Lots of good pubs and places to eat. Norwich is good for shopping and not far to go. I'm between Woodbridge and Ipswich. Woodbridge is lovely train station goes straight to London. Lots of quaint independent shops. Chelmsford and Colchester are accessible and you're on the crossroads of the a12 and A14 for going north or to London.

been having to car hunt on the off chance I had to hand the car back. Hopefully find out tomorrow.

the whole point of the car was to give me a reliable, easy to maintain, reduced running costs, spacious car, so that I could be a good dad, take the pressure off my wife and be able to do a lot of the family stuff. So far I've driven the car for 2 weeks of the last 6. I've had to scab lifts for 1 week, hired, had to pick up and drop off while arranging extra transport from and too the rental place. Had to pay for a taxi one day, when I couldn't find a number for a colleague. Spent a week in the garages loan car that has no radio and suspect noses from underneath that makes me question the safety of it. All the while my wife has had to pick up the slack with all the picking up and dropping off for at least 2 of the weeks. I've lost several afternoons from work having to duck out early to collect or drop off vehicles. While at the same time run a busy department. What annoyed me a bit was it looks like he might pay the cost o the initial diagnosis but said he wouldn't cover the cost of the rental. When I told the originally that Volvo were going to charge £400 for the time required to find the fault they said they wouldn't pay it at all. When I showed them what Volvo had found the first blokes reply was that Volvo were a bunch of idioms. But actually olvo ere deliberately not going any further as to avoid picking up the blame nd being sussed of messing with things. Still its not over yet. Got to get the car back, the receipts for all irk and reasonable reimbursement for costs and fees etc.

Thankfully the garage I bought from are not doing the repairs they have sent the car to 2 places I know of and have good reputations. I will be requesting receipts for all work carried out and any parts replaced. Especially as the 3 modules that could be fried are both £1000+ each And as Volvo are the only ones who can read Volvo specific codes, it will be going back to them for clarification. With regards to your issue re your clutch etc I would have expected a new clutch, and the minimum of a refurbished aircon unit As I have done and as ekona has said, you must allow the selling garage reasonable time to fix the issue. If they do not then you can push for a refund. But the garage can offer a suitable replacement. If one does not exist only then is a refund possible. Document all communication. I found that hard as the seller only seems to communicate over the phone. For some reason he doesn't get my emails, and when he has apparently emailed me they haven't come through. I have copied a family member into each email so there is evidence of the messages being sent. But in my case the gent that has picked up the problem is at the moment following through. The test will be at the end when I get it checked by a 2nd independent source.
