Time to get drunk!

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.

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!

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.

Well, that's my day sorted.

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.

Just sent one back too.

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

If it's too loud, you're too old Coolant tank install looks a very decent job, especially with the OEM-style hoses.

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!

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

Is there a difference then? Or is it just a Fairlady/350Z-type thing?

I'm genuinely thinking of buying that myself, looks great fun!

BUY THIS STEVO

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.

I think they prefer to be known as women

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

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.

Steve had a Focus, but he broke it MX5 no good for him as he wants the boot space.

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.

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.

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.

Pics not working for me dude, at least on mobile. Any one else?

Paul, your link has a space at the end of the item number, if you edit the post to remove that it'll work fine

For the idiots that come on here playing Billy Big Balls and they're the next Ken Block etc, how very refreshing to see someone come on here and just open right up and admit they tried something new, got it wrong, and want a bit of honest help. Ryan, I genuinely doff my cap to thee sir. Please don't be afraid of switching the TCS off in the future, you've made a mistake and tbh there but for the grace of god goes me when I had my first RWD car and I started playing with moving the back around. I'll never forget it, 90deg right hander, warm summer evening, waaaaay too much throttle and the damn thing pirouetted on me. I've no idea how I saved it, far more luck than skill as I had zero idea of what I was doing. Could easy have been me posting up on a forum with tail between legs. SuperStu is organising some driver training days at Millbrook, well worth looking into. Or any trackday really, with a bit of coaching on the day, will massively help confidence. Stick with it, playing with RWD cars is one of life's many pleasures and no-one gets it right first time.
