  1. Of course! I will also accept chewing gum, or any other commonly available way of freshening your breath.
  2. If anyone tries to push in, they're welcome to the space. Doesn't matter the size, why would I risk my own vehicle?

    I wanted an SLS for years, until I got a pax ride in one. So very, very disappointing. The noise just didn't cone through, interior felt cheap, just not the premium experience I was expecting. I suspect the BS is a different kettle of fish though.
  4. Ooh that's a good shout, and slightly more manly than a hair clip
  5. Tic Tacs. Wifi OBDII adaptor. Random change for random parking meters. Nothing else is required.
  6. Hammer it back in, then get a small clip to push through that tiny hole on the inside of the caliper (like the other pin you can see has). Driving as it is isn't an option as I suspect you're very close to losing the retaining clip, if that pops off you'll find the brake pads will want to move around in the caliper (although they won't fall out as the other pin is there), but pushing the pin back in should be safe enough to get you to a shop to buy the clip. Any bit of metal you can push through will do, I've used hair clips before in an emergency.
  7. Good memory, close! 5x 50-30 light 5x 70-40 med 5x 100-40 hard And with 5mins motorway speed driving without braking in between each set to let let cool off. Speeds are only a guide though, just do whatever you feel comfortable with (so maybe 80-40 for the last set, but do an extra one to get the heat up).

    No clue!

    Coilover = coil (spring) over damper, or what the 350 has at the front. Rear is seperate spring and damper. Coilover technically better, but honestly not worth the hassle to change on the Zed unless you're at the extreme end of modding.

    My New Car

    Hello Mrs Hugh, didn't realise you were on here too! Congrats on the new car
  10. Not a penny. *hugs company credit card*
  11. And at £2000 for the set, you'd bloody hope so too.
  12. Ask them to email you photos, you can then send them on to the other dealer. They did say they'd been tampered with.
  13. I would be pushing the supplying dealer first and foremost, you've nothing to lose there at all. Has the current garage shown you these damaged wires?
  14. Fiat 500s are not driven by ugly people, ever.
  15. It's 100% to do with how they drive. Torque-steering, no feedback, gruff engines, just dire. This is the R56 though, never driven an early one. Pretty to look at, I'll admit that.
  16. Trust? Politics? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nope. Never. It'll all be fine. Nothing will really change in the end, promise.
  17. Minis are sh*t. Hate the spiteful things.
  18. Exactly. It's worked perfectly fine for the last few hundred years...
  19. Not tried them myself yet, but I know people who have and say the 4 are better than MPSS, and I trust their judgement.
  20. Hopefully less of a problem than originally thought, fingers crossed Get them to show you these dodgy wires, I reckon.
  21. Free check is always good, just keep an eye on the costs if they offer to make changes for you. A specialist will be able to change the settings to make the car handle how *you* want, more generic places will simply put it back to the default understeer Nissan settings. Not a bad thing if it was miles out, but you can do better.
  22. Don't poke the angry Scot!!!11 Back on track, this is a great article
  23. I knew that's what you were getting at Suffice to say I know your feelings on the matter, and I suspect you can guess mine. For Lexx's sanity, let's agree to leave it there.
  24. I agree, however: Ombudsman has no teeth (check out the current issue with Merc and the scrubbing under full lock) Credit card will likely push you to go through court at this time, although a good option and one I'd not considered tbh. Court I wouldn't chance unless I knew the cost to repair the car was upwards of £3000.
