Rolling road or trackday will tell you.

We should get a Car Tax forum somewhere on this board I reckon. It'd probably be the busiest one out of them all!

For fear of repeating myself yet again, you have to give them reasonable opportunity to make good any repairs. That's not my words, that's what the law says, so do that first and if they don't fix the issues then you will have some kind of recourse via the court system. If you march in and demand your money back they are (quite rightly) going to tell you to naff off. Please try searching the interweb for this kind of information, it really is all over the place. Tbh the amount of people who go to S2K4U, moan about the lack of knowledge AND the crappy customer service and then still go on to buy a car really puzzles me. If someone's being an arse when I'm trying to give them money they're not going to be any better afterwards, so I just wouldn't give them my money in the first place.

Yeah, that. Jump through the legal hoops first so that there is no comeback on you, and if you still get nowhere then speak to a solicitor and take it from there.

You have to give them reasonable oppurtunity to make good any repairs. They won't.

Very unlikely it's been clocked IMHO. Is the mileage stored in the ECU or the dash clocks?

Google for them, there's hundreds of bad experiences out there across many forums sadly.

Cost isn't too much of an issue for me with tyres, I'd rather spend money on them than on things that make the car look prettier Same reason I went with the PS2s originally, I want the best rubber I can possibly afford for the car, as that's where there's so much gain to be had. They're cheaper than the PS2s as well!

S20004U sell @*!# cars as a rule, and sadly I think you've got one Good luck getting anything out of them, personally I'd consider it a hard lesson learnt in doing research about garages before buying.

Great minds!

Exhausts don't last 5 mins anyway, and the Zed can eat clutches. Tbh probably nothing to worry about, what does the service book and MOTs tell you about the mileage? What about the interior wear, especially the drivers seat bolster?

Epic upside down install fail!

Exactly what I was thinking too. Already got plans for uprated ARBS and some droplinks won't be far behind, but I didn't want to shell out just yet in case the tyres aren't entirely to my liking on the Zed and I go back to the PS2s. Interesting to see how low you set the pressures, gives me a good idea for a baseline to start on mine.

But surely they gave you a price breakdown when you ordered it? Granted, when ordering a high-price car I guess you're a bit less sensitive to the cost options (especially with Porsche), but you surely wouldn't just order a car and leave a deposit without actually checking what you pay for? Dunno, might just be me.

Just ordered a set for summer to run on my spare set of Rays as a summer/track tyre. I know a few guys on here run them already but I'm looking forward to seeing just what difference they make to the car given my relative lack of mods in the handling department so far (just the full Summit bracing kit). Having used the Yoko A048s on previous cars I know just how much more you can extract performance-wise when swapping from normal road tyres, and it's a shame that they don't do the 048s in 245 size at the back else I'd have gone for them instead, but I decided to go for the R888 now instead of the R1Rs as the 8s will be illegal to run soon sadly I'll keep this post updated with my findings, and will also add to my comparison post in the main tyre thread when I've got a bit more use out of them.

Surely you must've noticed the tax on the final cost sheet before you ordered the car? Tbh on a £100K car I'd haggle that cost away elsewhere, maybe a discounted 1st service or something.

Shed load of clear mastic on the back of the plate and push it straight onto the mesh. Leave to dry overnight (at least) and you'll be fine. It'll also come off a lot better than No Nails or similar will.

Can't hear you at all as in it's not working, or can't hear you due to ambient noise?

Vinyl isn't legal either

I'm actually one service ahead of myself with my car, and I figure that if I sell the car to a dealer he won't care, and if I sell privately I'll be able to explain why and point out the extra attention the car has had. Tbh missing one service isn't really going to make the blindest bit of difference to the value of the car anyway.

I had a similar issue when I bought my ex-Nissan fleet car, 18 months old and with only a single 80pt check stamp. The car was low mileage (7K) and in great condition, so I asked them to give it a full P2 service before I bought it which brought the car back into date. I carried on with the normal service interval since and have happily claimed on the warranty until it ran out. There's no issues with that at all, as the car has been in their care anyway. If you're that bothered ask them to write a letter stating that the warranty will still be valid despite the lack of stamp, you're covered then.

If someone sprayed my cat with water I'd cave their head in as well. Sprinkle a bit of fine black pepper on the car. Doesn't need a lot so you won't notice it, but it will very actively deter said feline.

37psi would be a better pressure for the T1Rs and their soft sidewalls, but no harm starting at 35 and going up from there until you're comfortable.

There's a hell of a lot of benefits to being in Europe from a financial POV, although if you don't work in certain industries or have never just buggered off to the continent and got a job just because you're a bit bored of this country you might never see them. I'd rather have a slightly weaker currency that keeps the monarch's head on, though.
