Ekona

I agree it was a policy that was badly worded, however I'm struggling to see what's bad about it. Why should the state have to pay for nursing costs when the person still has assets, albeit tied up in property? That's ridiculous, and it's not like they're even saying they're going to take every last penny either, there will still be £100K left to pass on to your kids. How can that be argued against? Labour's promise to cut all tuition fees from September will cost the taxpayer £15Bn minimum this year. That's over 10% of the annual NHS budget, to give comparison. So where's that money coming from then? We certainly don't have it hanging around, so there's more borrowing straight away. It's a cavalier and dangerous attitude to have. As I've said before, I have no problem with the policy in general, as long as the economy can support it. We have a rather large Brexit bill to come, it's madness to promise stuff like this.

They're still producing them for OEM, and will be contractually obligated to do so. However, there's no benefit for Lexus to insist on this as that's now an 'old' tyre and why wouldn't you want the latest and greatest on the car... Let's not forget you can still buy new RE040s!

You have no contract with the manufacturer, therefore there is no warranty for them to apply. Your contract is with the seller, and they have to apply to the current applicable law (so the CRA 2015 if bought recently) which will state presumptions about the goods etc. The manufacturer may choose to help you out, but they are under no legal obligation to. The seller is, and all recourse should be obtained through them.

Exhaust system changes means you can change headers, cats, midpipe and backbox as often as you want. That's what I have on my car, means I'm free to experiment without paying an admin fee every time.

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.
