  1. I'm lost here. Is this thread for real or what? I mean, I can see that the replies on this page clearly aren't, but I don't actually see the original question being serious at all: Surely no-one actually expects that temperature indicator to be 100% correct to the outside temp? I have no idea where the sensor is, but given that on every other vehicle I've been in they will all report different outside temps regardless of what the weatherman says I fail to see what the problem is? It's just a guide, and a pointless one at that. Stick your head out of the window and find out what the temperature is, don't rely on a bloody gauge in a car!
  2. He wasn't trying, I can promise you that.
  3. I'm just glad it's not me going completely bonkers, you have no idea how many times I checked that screen grab just in case
  4. Clicky for screen grab I clicked on 'View unread posts' (note not including OT, so there's a random result in there that's off for a start) and that's what I got. I get this every time on both PCs I use, both running FF 3.5.8 and Win7. As you can see, there's no sign of a 'mark forums read' button at all. It used to be top left-ish, just above the 'Page 1 of 1' text.
  5. Which theme are you using? *EDIT* forget that, doesn't matter which you pick as I've just tried both.
  6. No.1 with ITN routes is a brilliant idea. I've got a few sitting here that I don't mind sharing if you wanted to start a thread proper.
  7. Depends on how the MAF has failed. If it's dead and the car knows this then yes, it'll default to a safer map, but if it's giving erratic signals then the fuelling could well be out and kill the O2s easily enough as they're very delicate pieces of equipment.
  8. Can we have the button/link for this back please? It appears to have disappeared with the recent round of forum alterations, and it was a really handy button to have as you now have to go back to the forum index to mark forums read. Ta!
  9. Cable tie it using the sports kit mount (which I assume you have) to the front grill. That's where mine is, anyways.
  10. Three SVs... The white one is the first I've seen with the smaller spoiler on it, he must be keener on top speed than downforce
  11. In that case I bet it's the replaced damper that's causing it, assuming you've gone from JDM to UK which has changed the stiffness of one corner. That could possibly throw the TCS out when under braking as that corner will have different characteristics from the rest of the car, assuming equal wear.
  12. Demon Thieves sell it too. It's in their blue book this year, definitely.
  13. Are they the correct sizes too? Pressures okay?
  14. Very interesting, never heard that before and was considering getting some spacers for mine later in the year. Now I know to order smaller ones, nice one
  15. Ferrari have cheapened the brand over the last few years more than any other car manufacturer I know: Look at all the tat you can buy in red with a horse on it
  16. Very lucky, I've seen ECUs blown and wiring looms melted after such a mistake
  17. That's what I though, just checking. Should definitely be the same in that case.
  18. Should be the same, but define wiper knuckle for me?
  19. 1 year or the remainder of the life of the standard 3 year warranty, depending on the age of the car.
  20. Also worth pointing out that unless you buy really expensive wheels, you'll also be making your car slower due to the extra unsprung mass added. Most people don't care as they just want the looks, but you did mention about how new wheels could effect the handling so I thought I'd drop it in here as it's the worst place possible to add weight to the car.
  21. Tell them to change insurance companies, or get the RAC to do an inspection on it if you want. Personally I wouldn't bother unless you're desperate to sell to this guy as you don't need said report, but if you've got no other takers and he's very keen it might be worth doing it.

    Which oil?

    Enlarged version of the same engine as in the 309bhp 350 isn't it, so I'd be amazed if it wanted anything other than 5w-30. *awaits to be amazed*
  23. I would never, ever use that horrible tyre weld stuff. Even when I've owned cars with no spare, if I'd have had a puncture I would've called the breakdown services rather than trust/rely on that useless crap. Tbh I wouldn't be removing the spare wheel either (unless you're replacing it with something equally heavy as an emergency, like crates of beer) unless you really want to make your car more tail-happy. Less weight over the rear tyres will cause an imbalance when pushing on or in an emergency and the two ends will want to swap over more readily.
  24. Just be nice to them. A bit of a laugh and a joke with whoever you're dealing with will go a long way towards them helping you out, whilst getting stroppy and demanding will result in them (quite rightly legally) turning you away and ignoring the complaint.
