  1. Doesn't it just? In fact, I might be tempted to pull it on that basis. Except if it is a plug post it's not a very good one, as they don't understand how important protection is and their website has the lorem ipsum stuff at the bottom still Also, appalling use of apostrophes.
  2. Oh man, you should've just taken it back and made it their problem to sort. Name and shame at least! But no, it's not a huge job by any means. Just find a decent garage to do it, and I don't mean just Nissan main dealers unless you supply your own lube. Any competent place will be able to sort this for you.
  3. Or 24 hour PCars/Forza races. On your own.
  4. Depends on wax (or sealant for @SuperStu ), but typically it will provide protection anywhere between 3-6 mths, much longer if you use a coating (like 2-5 years). It'll turn a 3 hour wash into a 30 minute one.
  5. That's fine. Usually anything below 120c is okay when dealing with oil temps, although I don't know the exact temp that a 370 goes into limp mode at. I guess it's quite easily from the many "get an oil cooler!" posts we see on here regularly!
  6. You must do an awful lot of miles to need 3-4 hours of cleaning every fortnight! Ah, hang on, no wax. That explains it. Why go to all the effort and then not bother with another 20 mins putting wax on to protect it?! Seems utterly daft to me.
  7. You're buying a piece of adhesive. That's all. You have to source your own physical numberplate, so you could buy a flexible one (as shown on their website), or you use your regular one that's on your car now. Obviously a flexible one will contour as shown, a solid one will not. Basically the way to do it would be to either buy another physical plate with whatever you wanted on it then stick that over your existing one, or buy a flexible one and stick that wherever you want to remove at show time.
  8. We're currently babysitting this monster: Ten week old kitten called Bruce, seen here in full-on puffy mode after meeting one of our other cats for the first time. Getting on fine now, chasing each other quite happily. Shame we have to give him back on Friday, I'd quite like to keep him really. He is a bit ugly though
  9. If it's too loud, you're too old Coolant tank install looks a very decent job, especially with the OEM-style hoses.
  10. You're right, this is absolutely on a par with whether or not the new A4 is better than the current 3 series or not. Or whether the new Fiesta ST is going to be the new king of the small hatch!
  11. Put it back together, crack the windscreen, have it replaced for £75, then get them to repair the sensor as clearly they must've broken it that time
  12. Is there a difference then? Or is it just a Fairlady/350Z-type thing?
  13. I'm genuinely thinking of buying that myself, looks great fun!
  14. Ah that's a shame then. I haven't seen the cover you mention, but can you not wedge it off with a plastic trim removal tool? Worse case you break it, I bet they're not that expensive to replace.
  15. I think they prefer to be known as women
  16. Why on earth are so many men still under the thumb when it comes to choosing cars? Fair enough if the lady of the house is paying for it, otherwise she gets what she's given
  17. When was the windscreen replaced? My first call would've been to go back to the company that fitted it and ask them to sort it.
  18. Steve had a Focus, but he broke it MX5 no good for him as he wants the boot space.
  19. The blue rinse brigade will keep Toyota alive forever. No-one else has been buying the crap they've been producing for the last ten years after all.* *GT86 aside.
  20. Diesel is always going to give you bigger bills as it's more complex. With older cars you can multiply that upwards. So yes, yes it is.

    Bump

    If she does then personally I'd just claim she drove into the back of you. 50/50 claim is better than full fault, assuming she goes insurance.
