It's pushing 100bhp more than stock, always going to have issues at that point dude, don't sweat it

I would take arrogance over incompetence any day But fair play for switching based on policies, it's the smart and sensible thing to do.

But more binary, yeah.

Given it's the current issue, it's usually polite not to post it up until the following month at least.

I think so. Oil pressure sensor has been replaced, and the whole area cleaned up. Took her for a blat yesterday and I can't see any sign of oil anywhere in the engine bay, so I'm hoping that's cured it.

Bear in mind that passing emissions is just one stage of MOT cat testing now, the other part is that you must physically have one if the car came with one from the factory. Not necessarily the question asked, I know, but reasoning as to why many friendly places won't risk it any more as it's too simple to get caught out.

Con/UKIP for me. No real surprises either.

'03 JDM with 60k on the clock then. I wouldn't want to be paying much over £6k at best.

I loved mine. At first. Then I realised it just made the throttle rubbish so flogged it. Nice idea, but poorly executed imho.

Agreed, all needs removing and re-doing.

No idea how sensitive the 370 is with regards to TCS and altered profiles. Probably be okay though.

MPS4S are much better but not available in 18s, so if you have 19s then go for it but otherwise you have no choice anyway.

Leave it as it is, spend the money on a proper car instead Seriously though, I wouldn't bother. It's a family run-around, I don't think that kind of car lends itself towards anything like you're proposing particularly well at all.

So what sizes are you intending on using front and rear? Nope, very very different compound construction, plus very different tread pattern. No better than mixing P Zero and RE050A, which depending on your comfort level is either a no-no or perfectly fine. I wouldn't.

I'll be moving from MPSS to MPS4 when my current rears are dead.

They won't. It'll be just like the 2015 GE and Brexit, the ones who shout the loudest end up on the losing side. And then there'll be a ton of yoofs marching on parliament complaining.

me? Nah, not you bud. Are we still talking about warranty? If so then you can upgrade within reason. So you could put any E-marked brake pad on, but if you fit a BBK and the suspension fails you're likely not going to be covered (manufacturer will argue that you're putting extra stress where none was intended, and I bet their lawyer costs more than yours). Highly unlikely to be enforceable in court, it goes directly against European law so would almost definitely be classed as an unfair term. Modification restrictions, on the other hand, would almost certainly be enforceable on a PCP agreement. So no remaps, but consumables would be fair game if they'd genuinely worn out.

Are you actually serious?

OE-quality parts, don't have to be OE.

You're bonkers. A running-in stamp is worth nothing to the next buyer, as long as you have the proper stamps in the book that's all that matters.

BMW do it on the M cars to tax you more money Modern engines and oils are much, much better than they used to be: There really is no need for it any more. As long as the engine is warm, there's no harm in going to the rev limiter either on a new car, that's what it's there for. Each to their own though, no damage will be caused by an early oil change, there's just no technical need for it these days.

Does the car need a run-in oil change? My guessing is it doesn't, not like it's an M or Ferrari engine (actually I don't think even Ferrari do that anymore these days), so don't worry about it. I certainly wouldn't bother. You've answered your own question though: If you use their parts, how would they ever know? This is why I was quite happy to do my own changes on the 911 when it was under warranty. Let's not forget that EU-type approval applies on brand new cars, so you could actually use any other similar-quality oil or filter and you would not affect the warranty in the slightest.

Return pink, buy blue instead. Surely the easiest way to do things, and it means everything stays consistent.

Ironically the car isn't going to LM this year, but it is going to a car show tomorrow. Allegedly.

If you look at the three manifestos, the Tory one looks boring as hell. That said, it also looks the most realistic.
