Japanese model US model and UK model cars all run a different ROM number/s , the difference is the ignition map so they tune all the car for the different fuel supply in the country. What supprises me most is that they dont have a 95RON map as standard. I guess it wouldnt look so good on the headline power figure, but it sure would stop a lot of threads on here Would also mean when we got them UpRev'd for Super Unleaded we'd get a nice power boost

Have you seen a regen going when a car is stationary? I think you can get them to do it through VAGcom and it looks ermmmm interesting

Tell Orange you think your account has been comprimised and they need to sort it out. This will likely mean they cancel the current one and start you a new contract. If they dont, tell them you are going to report them to OfComm for breach of data protection. Should light a fire up their a**

Bit OTT IMO. Mine is a 2010 plate and looking at the guide price for trade in atm it looks like mine will have lost about £6k-£7k a year in the two and a half years I've had her which is about right for a large capacity sports car. One thing to be wary about is dealers that use the Glass guide. These guys are jokers, completely lowball prices in the guide, they are no where near market values. Parkers is far closer to prices seen on PH/Autotrader/eBay.

A vindictive, slightly psycho one might. Absolutely and its not hard to do if it were pre-empted

Good news, although it shouldnt have taken them more than 5 seconds after seeing it to agree to replace them

The reason finance companies want you to do it is so they can make more money. More balance on finance means more interest for them. If you've got £20k-ish, you could have mine soon (maybe)

You need to try and find a common denominator between the phone numbers. Have you stored them all in the same place (ie laptop) or are they all with the same provider? If Facebook has been comprimised, were your new phone numbers on there, even if not public, they could have accessed them via the account. Did you have them on email somewhere? Email can be comprimised either via the web interface, but also via POP3/IMAP so make sure they are turned off otherwise access might have been via them. I got my Gmail hacked via IMAP and didnt spot it on the web interface. Key logger is certainly a possibilty. You dont have any kind of remote access to the laptop that X could be using?

Why wont they insure you? Cost me about £20 in admin fees and that was it to move over from my 350z to my 370z with Admiral

Hopefully makes mine worth a bit more then

I believe that's Petes brother Hope you didnt need the mighty Panda to do any rescuing Andrew

Now this is how to do a bike

I'm sure you can sign up to some service with the DVLA and get the details. Probably cost you a fortune though

Bingo And do you really think they will sell it for the ticket price that they are asking?

Haha nice one. I'm sure you can find consolidation in the £35 you saved to forgive them the 3p or whatever it is that you lost on CC points

Good work as ever Mark You should have slapped some sneaky stickers on the cars

What do you expect, thats a dealer for you

I assume you are talking about a JDM car? They shouldnt be registered as PLG in the first place, its just that some importers get away with it. You wont be able to re-register a car to PLG thats already correctly registered, nor will you be able to change the classification of a UK car.

Thats the puppy, knew it was some silly acronym

JDM had way more options than UK spec, so I could full well believe that leather but not heated was an option. Not 100% sure, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. You may well find that the heating element is there, it just needs wiring up. Dont ask me how to do that though!

Isnt this the old importing it as a MPV or similar. I'm sure its what they used to do to get uber low tax. Cant for the life of me remember what you tax it as, but it basically avoids it being put in the usual UK tax bands. Its like leisure vehicle or MPV category. Someone will remember soon

White leather is rare. Not sure if it wasnt available here or if it was just rarely specced. Satnav was an optional extra, but bluetooth and BOSE were part of the GT pack. Card reader is for Japan's toll road cards for automated barriers.

Full length This is Peaty

Must be something sizeable we are missing for it to be a Cat D?

Thats very odd. The bonnet lifters havent fired, so front end damage must be very light as I've heard if you even breath on the sensors wrong they will pop the bonnet. That or the scallies that are selling it have removed them so that it doesnt pop up.
