  1. So how much did you top up with?
  2. Pea roast.
  3. Eh? Oil pressure gauge isn't related to oil level, except on a very basic and not reliable way. How low was your oil?
  4. No idea. Parsnips in the footwell?
  5. New engine time. It's highly likely you've caused damage to your engine, fingers crossed its not too bad though.
  6. Was that a good game then? I'm not a huge rugby person, and don't understand most of the rules, but it didn't seem particularly exciting to me. Too much kicking, not enough running.
  7. Don't talk such twaddle. A decent panel filter is easy on a par with the OEM one in terms of filtration.
  8. Tbh I just guessed on the basis that's what 99% of modern cars run at
  9. For panel filter, I'd go K&N or Cosworth. For open cone filter, I'd go JWT. No real sense in spending any more, as you're only losing power and sucking in hot air.
  10. Somewhere between 90-103c, at a guess. Or bang smack in the middle of the gauge.
  11. Told you!
  12. You're mad.
  13. Not impossible I guess, but I'd be amazed if they're compatible.
  14. Erm yeah, that's a bit broken!
  15. Mk1 Focus is going to go down as a design classic, much like the mk1 TT. Stunning looking car, even today.
  16. Gone 5pm on a Saturday? Good luck... Halfrauds might have one that fits.
  17. Track?
  18. Shame it robbed us of a good end to qualy, but glad he's okay. Lewis is going to muller Rosberg tomorrow.
  19. Vauxhall, imaginative?! I'm sorry, but all the brands you mention create some seriously dull looking cars for the vast majority of their range. All Fords essentially look like scaled versions of each other, Nissan create the most boring mainstream cars on the planet next to Toyota, Honda's range sends me to sleep, and even the regular Jags are hardly exciting to look at. I'm not saying that a 320D or an A4 2.0TDi are interesting, but it's not like the Mondeo, Insignia, XE, Micra or Civic Tourer are setting the world on fire. Think Audi are dull? Haven you not seen the latest TT interior? That's stunning, and very creative with the LCD dash and controls on the air vents. They lead the way in interior design right now. However, I agree that BMW have slipped up a lot lately as their core range is bland, as are the M cars to look out inside and out. Nissan is a deathly dull brand, by and large. The GT-R may be quick, but it's definitely not a looker.
  20. Heavy Rain is amazing. Genuinely new experience. You'll never guess the end though, proper twist
  21. It might, but in all honesty if you've not had an alignment on the car for 12 mths then it'll probably be miles out anyway. So it will actually improve
  22. Sometimes it's a good thing to blend in. Means you can go faster.
  23. If you put new fronts that are excellent tyres on (like the MPSS) with worn tyres on the rear that aren't quite as good, then you're making the car very prone to oversteer. Only you know if that's a risk you feel worth taking when the weather is getting increasingly colder and wetter. Personally for the sake of a couple of hundred quid I wouldn't risk it, but ultimately it's up to you. A four wheel alignment may not sort out your tyre wear issues, it very much depends on how you want the car setup. Unfortunately if you want a car to grip and handle you end up with premature wear on your tyres, so you may have to sacrifice great handling for longer tyre wear. Again, each to their own.
  24. I based that on £100 a room per night, which seemed about right to me. And there was me thinking I was the posh snob on here
  25. FTFY
