    Courier

    Best courier? Right now, I'd say DPD. Real time courier tracking leaves you in no doubt where the parcel is, and I've never found their guys to be anything less than professional.
  3. For £30, who cares? If they last a year I'd just throw them away and buy new ones.
  4. I'm not sure I'd bother full stop, tbh. Not on a new car like the 370, unless you've done literally everything else and just want something to do yourself. Definitely wouldn't pay for it!
  5. Not necessary, but will massively improve both performance and the life of the pads & discs.
  6. FWD trumps RWD in the snow easily. Also those fat tyres are worse for grip in the snow than skinny ones.

    Takes the attention away from the size of his forehead, I guess. Go back and look, you'll see what I mean. I didn't even notice it the first time either!
  8. It astonishes me more there's enough halfwits out there who keep buying them in enough numbers to make it a viable business. Actually, astonishes isn't the right word. Terrifies. It terrifies me.
  9. Should be: 50-20 low pressure x10 70-40 med pressure x10 100-40 as hard as you can before ABS x10 ...each with a long gap between, driving at speed to get some decent airflow over the brakes to cool them i.e. not touching them at all. In theory a little smoke isn't surprising, but a lot would be a worry. And make sure you don't sit on the brakes at a junction when they're that hot, you'll transfer material over in seconds.

    My word, that is one ugly little girl. Was she attached to the bottom of the car as they drove over the potholes?
  11. Just knock a couple of inches off the blade size, pick a really cheapy one up from eBay or wherever, just make sure it's new so that it does actually work
  12. Of course it'll work! The link kindly supplied by Zeezeebaba states the zone is must not foul is in the SWEPT area of the windscreen. If the wipers do not touch it, it's not a swept area. If it's not a swept area, you can have what you like there. As long as it gives "the driver an adequate view of the road" (their words, not mine) then smaller wipers are fine. Trust me, I'm as picky as anyone, but this is absolutely fine and a genuine workaround. Or you find an MOT place that has half a brain.
  13. Yeah, so put smaller ones on that don't, it's only for the test. You can put your regular ones back on afterwards.
  14. If the wiper blade touches it, it's an MOT fail. Solution: Fit shorter blades for the MOT test
  15. Might want to update your first post with the new price matey I struggle to find fault with this car, or something on it that I wouldn't have done. I don't say that very often.
  16. They're fine to use, however you must make sure the car is 100% clean and dry before you put it on. Having to do that every single time I wanted to drive the damn thing would do my nut in.
  17. Or, and this is a crazy thought I know, but what if this was all scripted just to make it look really funny that SS made CE sick? Nah, crazy idea, TG would never fake something just for a laugh...

    If only there was a link to it somewhere...
  19. Like buying an MX5 and putting a Ferrari badge on it, you mean?

    Really? Each to their own I guess, they're much older cars and they feel it inside too. Don't fancy a GT-T of that era? They'd be right in budget.

    Okay, definitely puts you out of blob STi territory then. Personally I'd beg, steal or borrow another couple of £K and get into the STi as it's worth every single penny, but then you may well find the WRX suits your needs just as well and for less.
  22. Is he related to Damon Hill at all? So whilst trying to find any confirmation of CH and SS as co-presenters (there isn't any!), I came across the trailer for S2 of TG France, as per the link here. Looks surprisingly good actually, and I think it's all the better for being in French!
