  1. To save you time: There is none. Which is why there's no case law to back it up, either.
  2. Point me to the exact law that says they're illegal, or invalidate insurance.
  3. DECATS ARE NOT ILLEGAL FOR ROAD USE. THEY DO NOT INVALIDATE INSURANCE. DO I NEED TO PUT THIS IN BIGGER WRITING? OR MAYBE BOLD TEXT? AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH
  4. 5 hours book time sounds reasonable to me.
  5. Drying towel is an essential part of cleaning, especially in a hard water area. I always have a couple at least, as they lose effectiveness over time.
  6. No help at all, you're stuffed. As Gixxer says, you should've washed again before polishing.
  7. Definitely another wash and dry to remove them, you may well have to polish & wax again I'm afraid. A quick spritz of QD during the drying phase goes a long way towards preventing water marks. The spray wax you're putting on it only adding cover over them, not removing them.
  8. Now that is one of the best questions I've yet seen asked about the 370Z, and it's a very important one too. Is the software clever enough to adapt to a lighter flywheel, ot do you have to stick with OEM? Irrelevant for me of course, as I'm a driving god and would never use the synchro matching stuff as I can heel and toe with perfection every time*, but it would certainly help other folks who want to upgrade. Certainly the lighter flywheel in a 350Z transformed the car. *This may not be entirely true
  9. Much better interior than the 370Z, I'm impressed. Beautiful colour too
  10. Hang on, who let the poor folk in?! This is outrageous! MODS!
  11. Roadworthy/unroadworthy is not the same as an MOT fail. Don't confuse the two. A car can be unroadworthy but pass an MOT, or be completely roadworthy and fail an MOT.
  12. Down from 23% to 21% today though, so not all bad news
  13. It looks like you're trying to spell RUSH, but badly.
  14. In that case, your reasons for not disputing are not viable at all: You should have disputed each one soon as it came in. You NEED TO ACT ON THESE NOW, else you're going to end up with all sorts of nasties on your record. When you say you were in the process of applying, did you actually apply or were you just getting round to it?
  15. The brakes issue is that the car can then stop much quicker than normal, which then could catch out people behind you and they then drive into the back of you. Okay, so that's their fault not yours, but if they're insured by the same insurer as you then that insurer has to pay out twice still Tbh, I think that's a load of old cobblers and it's more the fact that the car is modified and therefore more likely to be stolen, as opposed to anything else. They should ask the company they're purchasing from. If they've followed due diligence, then they cannot be to blame. And Europe, which is why there's a huge problem with Johnny Foreigner being done for not having insurance in this country. They don't realise that it's different over here.
  16. Is the parking fine council or private?
  17. Well, far be it from me to say that we told you so, but... Onwards and upwards, mate.
  18. Just a TBM wash should do, if you waxed it properly You can too it up with something else if you want, like the spray wax or a QD, but there should be no real need assuming you use a mild shampoo that won't strip the wax protection.
  19. Carb cleaner will be fine
  20. Clean the MAF, too.
  21. Different products used, different paint hardness, different expectation from the customer, different insurance needed, or maybe they just see Pork owners as easy targets.

    M cars are cool till they go wrong buddy! M prices No worse than Audi. It's German, it's not cheap, but a proper M product is a much more interesting car to own than a warm S car.
