Q1 and Q2 were okay, and in fairness it'd be better in Q3 if you had a yellow or some rain, but when it's like today it's just moronic. It's not about equalising the grid, it's about punishing success and I hate the idea.

Oh yeah, and I pinched the bits from an M wheel as well, the plastics were in better condition than mine and the colour is smarter too. Just means I have another bloody M badge on the car

One thing I've always hated about the Bummer is the steering wheel. The leather is rock hard, no give, and it's just too thin. A quick chat with Si at Hide n Seat and we came up with a plan and a cost that was more than acceptable to me. I wanted something subtle rather than lairy, and quality was of the utmost importance. In the end I went from this: To this: Full retrim in smooth Nappa leather, black stitching all round, and a TDC line in perforated leather. Normally you'd go for a colour for that line, but in my old car it was marked out with just a pressing in the leather and I really liked it, so wanted something similar but that would stand out a fraction more. I also asked Si to fatten the wheel up as well, and he's given me the perfect diameter to it, about 5mm more than I had which makes a huge difference. I'm absolutely delighted with it, the quality is every bit as good as I hoped for, and it's improved the feedback through the steering as well. The steering wheel is the one thing you always have contact with in the car (well, and the seat) and it's so important to get it right. Now it is, and massive thanks to Si for the quick turnaround on this too, highly recommended

Well that's just cursed it

Noooooo you broke the numbering scheme again

Get rained on? Turn around and go home?

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Just messing OP, much kudos for giving the task a go, most people get terrified of it so fair play to you sir

Did you not think that maybe they needed to go back on in a certain order?

This is why you always change coils and plugs one at a time You'll need a diagram of which lead goes to which plug. Or a fellow Zed to copy from.

Because your timing will be all over the place. It'll be firing the wrong cylinder at the wrong time.

I'm holding you to that

OMG THEY DO A MICHELIN ONE *spaff*

Have you put the right coil packs on the right plugs?

You're only taxed over the personal allowance. So if you earn £11K you pay no tax, if you earn £12K then you pay tax only on the extra £1K.

With good reason.

You need black seats Looking good, lovely sunny day there at least!

Lucky man. However, kudos for coming back and owning up. And I genuinely mean that.

I'm getting old, sleep comes easier

Teacup, sir?! Great pics mate, and some very useful data there too.

That reminds me, I need to go watch that again. I started the other night, then fell asleep mid way through

Get the garage to look at the car and give you a proper quote (not an estimate), and go from there.

Weight? Dunno, about 5kg will do it The 'w' doesn't stand for weight, it stands for winter, not sure if you knew that or not. I'd also have gone for the 0w40 given the choice, so the right decision I reckon fella

Halstead, Essex. The bumpers are are my work in Stansted Airport though, so probably more central (depending on where you are!). Chuck me a PM if you're interested

I probably shouldn't repeat the exact phrase I used

I have two bumpers here, both HR, one in red and one in orange. Both will need a bit of TLC but they're easily sorted if you're going to get them sprayed. All I ask is you sort postage/collection and make a small donation to a charity of my choice
