  1. Yup but only in small amounts, pretty much the same as the IMS issues we discussed (so around 5%).
  2. Scored bores will do that, leading to increased oil burning on one bank where the oil is passing the rings. Common issue on 996 and early 997 911s, that's where that gem comes from. Any oil usage?

    NIP?

    Edited for accuracy. It's not a will, it's a may, and you may be prosecuted for being 1mph over the limit.

    Tax...

    They'd be haggling for £1000 worth of freebies from the supplying dealer more like
  5. Pick up trucks have always been classed as good vehicles, that's why they make great company cars Still get cheap crossings at Dartford though!
  6. It's not happening on cars, only good vehicles. Don't panic just yet folks
  7. Supposed to be very very good, well worth the entry fee
  8. Good point, probably a mixture of both.
  9. Can they prove it was you who bought a ticket? As in, do they have your name, address and CCTV or a contract with your signature on?
  10. More than likely ex-demo cars.
  11. Oh you'd be surprised: The amount of threads I've seen with "I was passing Elises/Caterhams/GT3s all day in my Zed!" on here beggars belief!
  12. Half a litre will probably be okay, but if you checked it after refilling it (giving it plenty of time to settle of course) then I don't see how it could be overfull.
  13. The Zed isn't a particularly good base for a track car in the first place. Too heavy & too many electronics: It was designed as a road car which is where it excels. Sure, you can make it better on track, but an average Caterham is going to walk all over you for about 50% of the cost. Driver of said Caterham will also be very wet and very cold when it starts raining, but you get the point.
  14. That's okay, we know how incredibly wonderful and awesome we are
  15. Looks more like Universal to me.
  16. Does it have to be black? I know of a Temper orange car that's mechanically perfect that'll be for sale very shortly. Body work isn't perfect atm but will be 100% before sale or will be reflected in the price, and it's mechanically sound which is the most important thing.
  17. The difference is that the newer iPhones only need a 5mv current to charge, not 12mv like the older ones which is why you're having issues. Not ever having done the hack myself I couldn't tell you how to fix the issue, but that's where the trouble lies. I can tell you that an iPhone4 definitely can be charged in car from a newer charger.

    My New Car

    I don't think it really exists
  20. Need to? No. Want to? Possibly. Depending on how free-flowing your new exhaust is you may or may not see some more gains, and the gains you might get from a new tune might not be worth the extra cost. Would I do it personally? I don't think I'd bother unless I were fitting HFCs at the same time.
  21. So the car was definitely pre-detonating but no fault code ever came up? I'd suggest getting your knock sensor changed as well while you're at it, as if the engine was knocking that badly for you to hear it then it should definitely have registered a code. When was your last oil change, and what oil was used?
  22. Honestly Waseem, you don't make life easy for yourself do you??!!

    insurance

    Comparethemoneysupermeerkat.com, pick the cheapest. There is no easy solution unfortunately, although due to them trying to corner the entire market at the moment Admiral/Elephant are the cheapest by far for many people. What are the 5 pts for if you don't mind me asking?
