  1. As for the fox remains a good jetwash underneath should hopefully clear the mess.
  2. Take it back to the dealer (warranty), guessing you have checked all your phone settings are correct for hands-free.
  3. Depends on the extent of the renovation though. As I said, the outside of the main building looks fine, it just looks like the interior needs a refurb. Can you just ignore the outbuildings? I asked a question about whether you can change the interior without the same hassle, which you could have given a simple response to... Is it a case of any interior change still has to be approved, or do you just have to follow the guidelines? So you have inspected the outside of the main building? Or are you going by the estate agents photos? No professional in their right mind would ever proffer advice based on photos whilst the extent of the renovation and whether some, all or none of the renovation would require Listed Building Consent is like putting a finger in the air so until a detailed survey is undertaken and bearing in mind when you start stripping things away that can reveal all sorts of surprises, the Conservation Officer will not even be able to advise what elements of the renovation would require Listed Building Consent and that can often halt work whilst the application (that can take 2 months or moreis dealt with. Bear in mind Estate Agents do have a habit of understating the level of expected work, so by them saying a full renovation throughout covers not just the interior but the exterior - i.e. covering their arses as you can bet they saw/were shown things that immdediatly rang alarm bells. And before you labour your quizzing further please take on board what I quoted from historic England - there can be no definitive answer until surveys/work reveal what is necessary. So I am afraid you seeking a "simple response" to what you think is a simple question is simply not available!
  4. I'm sorry, I can't hear you from my imposing turret It does say that only the outbuilding needs a refurb. The house itself looks fine on the outside, and I'm assuming that you can make interior changes without much trouble? House sites always list nearby property sale values Read the full description - " The property is in need of full renovation throughout" The level of protection varies from property to property as described by Historic England here: Extent of protection The list entry will identify the principal building or buildings that are listed. These will be identified by the formal list entry and not the narrative description, unless there is ambiguity in the list. The whole of any principal building is listed, including the interior. Objects, structures and buildings affixed to a listed building or within its curtilage may also be protected by listing (see below). These rules may mean that considerably more may be protected by the listing than is obvious from the list entry alone and there can often be considerable uncertainty as to what is covered. This apparent unhelpfulness in the rules is mitigated somewhat by the fact that listed building consent is only required if works affect the special interest in the relevant structure. It may be unclear whether a structure is protected, but it may be clear it holds no special interest even if it is. Group value should obviously be considered in assessing the special interest of ancillary buildings. A proverbial minefield, particularly for those not familiar with the procedures, bearing in mind it is a Criminal Offence that can lead to imprisonment if unauthorized work is carried out to a Listed Building. So best Strudul that you keep to your DIY jobs to your Zed
  5. Sorted - you just see a message that the posts are hidden but have the option to open them anyway.
  6. Do the same as you did here (post No.2) : http://www.350z-uk.c...centre-console/
  7. Our kitchen is in the middle of the house with no direct door to the outside... Looks amazing and £250k sounds cheap for that much house... Not so much when you read this: "Unique 6 bedroom Grade II Listed house with outbuildings in need of full refurbishment, enjoying a large corner plot and an imposing turret". If it weren't listed my guess that fiqure would be lot higher - with the plot value not being constrained by the Grade II listing. I have no idea what property prices are in that area. And for an estate agent to use the phrase "full refurbishment" and given any remedial work/changes are subject to spearte listed building consent and you are at the behest of the local Conservation Officer and English Heritage indicates that you would need extremely deep pockets, before you did any of your own decorative work. Needs specialist advice, I would respectfully suggest, so you know exactly what you would be letting yourself in for. Several decades working in that field taught me that you have to have eyes very wide open before taking on a project like that.
  8. Yeah fair one. I live on Football, UFC and F1, so its worth it for me, but if it was just one of those maybe i'd think twice. Maybe you should let Wendy access your Sky Go so she can see the F1 - that is what a family member has done for me....and that way it is free. I have no desire to watch other stuff that Sky offers. Just hope Liberty does what it says it will do to make coverage more widely available in years to come. Or you can watch the races/qualifying on Channel 4 that they are covering in full for year and the recorded highlights of the other races. The races/qualifying they are covering in full are are Bahrain; 16/4 Russia 30/4; Monaco 28/5; Azerbaijan 25/6; Silverstone 16/7; Belgium3/9; Singapore 17/9; Malaysia 1/10; USA 22/10 and Abu Dhabi 26/11. But have to say the Sky coverage and build-up/after stuff is so much more informative ....but then they have zillions of dollars from their extorninate fees to do that.
  9. Can't question the driving skill there and no practising but intrigued about the filming given that the chase camera car was not picked up by either the static cameras or drone(s) - again skilful stuff given only the one run.
  10. I really doubt many people would have been looking for a roadster over the last couple of months, but with better weather trade and private will start to get interested......
  11. Sad news - ceretainly one of motorports greatest legends.
  12. Have used a Snooper (gps) for years that for every car up the '45 showed the 350s/370 were around 3-4mph over-reading @ 60mph. Now though the '45 speedo is spot on with the Snooper (or just 1mph either way) no doubt due to Merc using gps ot only for their navigation but for the speedo too. Very obvious now how other cars are slowing by a few more mph than I'm doing so often helps for a free overtake.😆
  13. Price is on budget : http://www.350z-uk.c...0/#entry1706704
  14. Do I detect a new exhaust or you just been busy with the Autosol
  15. So good to hear Caroline is well on the recovery road
  16. So who is the company saying your car was manufactured in 2005? Did they have the engine number? Everything points to your roadster being built as a facelift as it would cost a small fortune to change all the components from a pre Mid-March 2006 (when the first facelifts became available). Hopefully it is an error on the part of the belts supplying company rather than the option of an older engine having been transpanted.
  17. Update: To see each testing days updates (Ted Kravitz) they are at 21.15 on Sky F1.
  18. The cats look a bit concerned about their future.......
  19. Leave them in and get the situation verified by the dealer in your presence! Certainly don't them out yourself, half your case would be lost.

    Tyre Road Noise

    Different surfaces/different tyres, so noise can be better/worse. The advice about the carpet/underlay will help As for the wine in my avatar - the only thing that going for that was its name I have made a note about your recommendation though.....but trust it is a quiet and refined
  21. F1 testing - first day review today on SkyF1 @ 9pm.

    Tyre Road Noise

    In my experience much depends on the road surface but in my book handling/grip/confidence are far greater priorities than road noise....especially when it is, afterall, a sports car.
  23. Last set of tyres I bought were from Tyreleader who ship from Germany - maybe they can hepl with your preferred choice and you have a friendly tyre fitter?
