The limited lift on the rear wiper is the norm. The main culprit for tools 'clackling' in the boot is the jack. Make sure it's screwed down to its lowest position and tight and I've also put a cable tie around the threaded bar on mine which worked best for me.

I'll probably get flamed for saying this but I don't think the 370 looks as good as the 350 does.

Enjoy the Z4 dude - it's a good choice.

The handling characteristics will change as the rubber compound warms up.

Maybe an obvious question but have you checked the pressures? Should be 35 psi.

I disagree. I drove a 997 C2S and a Cayman S back-to-back a few months ago and found the Cayman to be much more of a driver's car and much more modern. Especially good if you turbo them apparently, good for 500HP Ooooh yes

Good effort with the Porsche..... I fancy a Cayman S next (poor mans 911) I disagree. I drove a 997 C2S and a Cayman S back-to-back a few months ago and found the Cayman to be much more of a driver's car and much more modern.

Sorry to hear your Aston experience was less than satisfactory, Jay. I have to say though it doesn't surprise me. A close friend of mine bought a new Vantage V8 last year and had all sorts of problems with it and when he dedided to get rid of it 11 months later, he lost around £40K. BUY A PORSCHE

Agree with the above, although 048's tend to be harder than 888's and therefore last longer when used for multiple laps.

Good luck with the sale Ian. Superb buy for someone.

Belated birthday greetings Liam

It will depend to some extent on the tyres you have fitted. Falkens are a lot less noisy than Bridgestones for example.

Cayman S for me and I'll live with the jibes.

Getting some good tradespeople to do the job is not the problem Stan. In fact I've got a couple of top guys lined up who I've used before. My local retailer is now going to supply, albeit not as cheaply as UKBW, but at least if anything goes wrong they're only 10 mileas away and i can have it out with them face to face. Hopefully it won't come to that though as they've quoted me 5 days delivery.

If you are thinking about purchasing a new bathroom or anything bathroom related, then avoid UKBW.com like the plague. I ordered a Heritage bathroom suite with this company in August and was quoted 4-6 weeks delivery, but full payment was required at the time of order. I was told that 6 weeks would be the absolute maximum and that I would be given fortnightly updates. After 4 weeks had passed and having not heard a thing, I emailed to ask for an update and never received a reply. I did the same a week later and still didn't get any reply. By now I'm started to get pi**ed off so I phone them. When I eventually get through the guy I need to speak with is on the other phone and I'm informed that he will ring me back - surprise to say he didn't. So I keep ringing and asking for him and eventually a few days and numerous phone calls later I get hold of him. He tells me that there is a delay of another couple of weeks due to the manufacturer being behind on orders. I left it another 2 weeks and rang again to be told the same thing, so this time I got hold of the manufacturer themselves (Heritage) and they told me they were fulfilling all orders in 5-7 days. When I then questioned UKBW about this they told me that they had so many orders that my name was still some way down the list but I would be given priority from this point on. At this stage I was about 9 weeks on from placing the order and still had no definate delivery date. I therefore contacted Mastercard and asked if I could cancel the payment and my request was passed to their disputes resolution department. A week a later I received a form to complete and was told that a full refund would be made so long as they were satified with my account of the events. I then contacted UKBW and told them they had 7 days to fulfill my order in full or I would be cancelling. Their reply was that it was my decision but refunds take at least 30 days. A week came and went and no surprises, they didn't contact me. I then emailed them informing them that 7 days had passed and that I was cancelling the order and expected a full refund within a week. Now comes the best bit. No sooner had I sent the email, I get a phone call from them telling me my suite has arrived but is not complete. I refer to my email and tell them exactly what they can do with my incomplete order if indeed they have actually got it at all. This was then followed by all sorts of excuses as to why there was a delay and that there was now no reason to cancel my order now that they had it. I remained resolute and told them I was still canceling due to the fact that they were not only in breach of contract but I didn't believe a word of what they were telling me anyway. They begrudgingly accepted I had been treated badly and said they would accept my cancellation (like they had a choice). The following day I received a letter from Mastercard informing me my account had been credited with the full amount and that was the end of the matter as far as they were concerned. I apologise for having a personal rant on here but I just wanted to make sure that no members made the same mistake as me by dealing with this outfit.

You wouldn't want to try and out run that unless you were in something very special

He certainly got the point - ok sorry

Good find Mike.

The only problem with that is because each gearbox is individually made it will only work with the engine and transmission it was originally mated to.

Unbelievable. I had no intenion of buying one of these before I read this but this has just added weight to my decision.
