But in answer to your question, given that they use laser these days then no radar system will help you. And laser jammers are very illegal

Either that's BS, or I really hope you fought it as if they did you for that then that's a massive miscarriage of justice.

If you need to worry about blue lights, you're driving like a tit

Don't drive like a tit, and you'll never have an issue.

Heh, awesome

They're big cars on the road. I parked up next to one the other week and it made by BMW look like an Elise in comparison. That said, I'd still have one. Worth it for the noise alone.

New car. Don't ever, ever buy a flood damaged car. Ever. You could end up chasing electrical gremlins for years.

Nope, nothing with that engine is anything less than awesome

Nope, just you

Nice one Grundy on a great article I see so much of how I used to be in that, and god bless having more than one car these days!

Why on earth would you be too scared to take your car?! That's the whole chuffing point! It's hardly downtown Beirut.

I remember when this was all fields... No probs matey, any time. Let us know how you get on.

That's a very good point, hadn't thought of that. Well noticed sir Also, high five for super Google-Fu skills!

PCD is 5x108, and M14 x 1.5 if you want the bolt/stud size too. http://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/s-max/2015/

I'm not sure the exhaust is big enough Congrats on the purchase fella, plenty of updates on this please!

They werent just for the Roadsters. They were an optional extra on top of the GT pack. On my 2007, if you went for the GT pack you got the black leather seats and you could pay an extra £600 (I think it was) to go for either the Frost Grey/Blue or the Alezan Orange. Both are an acquired taste, so a lot of people didnt bother. Where the Roadster seats are different is that they are vented, so the seat back has like a fishnet style material rather than being solid like on the coupes. So those seats in that car are Roadster specific then, just like I said?

Not really. Check his insurance so you can't get stung for that as well, but if you're selling it for £3K and he's given you the cash then so what if he rides off with it? Do make a note of the time that he takes it out though, and get him to countersign, in case he gets pinged for speed.

:scare:

Depends. Do you want a game now, or sometime next year? If now, then PCars. If next year, AC. I'd wait for AC personally, unless you can get PCars cheap enough.

I know, I even told them twice! No-one ever believes the OP when they say it wasn't them!

Keep trying. It can take 10-20 goes to get a reading on that dipstick. Wipe every time, put it in both ways, spin it around. Just try everything basically, until you're sure you've got a proper reading.

Those seats were a Roadster-specific option.

Agtlaw has just posted, and he's a proper lawyer on there who knows his stuff. Sounds reasonable.

There's already a thread running over there. I started it for him, just to see what folks thought if they just got the facts. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=10&t=1559891&mid=88930&nmt=129mph+on+a+70mph+DC

Definitely get the EML sorted first, even if it says that it's a cat below efficiency code doesn't actually mean that it's definitely the decats! Personally I'd want cats back on, and check that the airbag light does actually work and isn't just cut as that's another MOT fail. But yeah, get it for a good price and I'd say it's a decent car. Seats are very rare, and lovely!
