If it hasn’t happened since, I’d just ignore it and put it down to randomness. No point chasing a fault you can’t replicate imho, not when everything else looks correct.

I think Col is married, yeah.

I bloody well hope not.

Camera phones have come a long way since those pics were taken thankfully! I agree though, that looks better. Must be the wheel design then.

I’m not convinced, y’know. I mean, no doubt it’s a decent job and in close up the decals work well, but it just doesn’t seem to work in the wider shot. In fairness I think it’s the wheel design itself more than anything. Maybe silver callipers would work better to match the spoke tips, or just generic red to contrast and match the red accents on the Nismo exterior.

Well then add some plastic sheeting to divert the water as a temporary solution, while you soak the car and trace the leak. Start by looking for dried out rubbers, and checking drain holes are clear.

Cough up the £210 and get it sorted. Tbh that’s cheap for solving NATS issues, especially from a main dealer.

Something is very wrong there then, tbh. Our Scoob only has 320bhp, but it’s always felt the quickest thing to drive by some margin including my old Bmw which was almost exactly the same pace as a 350. Most likely due to the power delivery from the turbo than outright power alone. An auto Evo (man, who on earth though that was ever a good idea?!) should be even more so. Either it’s broken, or you didn’t feel comfortable pushing it properly, or that SST gearbox wrecks the experience so much. From the sound of it, you’d be wasting your money with a supercharged Zed.

AND WHAT, DON’T LEAVE US HANGING!!!!11

If I could justify the fuel cost I’d have a 350 in a heartbeat, I still miss my old one!

Optional 19s? I thought they all came on 19s in the UK, you learn something new every day.

Right, ok.

Backs? Not fronts/side bolsters?

Which Porsche scene? How did you find the PS91 compared to the FK510 & FK453?

The only trouble you have is that the wear is in EXACTLY the same place that every single car ever wears, on the outside bolster on the driver seat where people slip into their seat and rub over it. It’s very possible that the wear was caused by someone being heavy-handed when getting in, and even though the mileage is low that could easily be 3500 one mile journeys which equates to a lot more entry/exit moves than 35 one hundred mile journeys. Personally I’d be trying to be as nice as possible to them to get them to back down, or even just asking for a contribution towards repairs, as I’m not sure there’s a winnable case here if you take it to the end game.

Very very unlikely, fuel starvation usually happens at high G when cornering, not afterwards when you’ve stopped and started again. Something else going on there methinks.

Or y’know, how it actually drives.

Bearing in mind though the main reasons it gets a crap score is how much it'll hurt pedestrians (well look before you cross the road then) and safety assist guff (oh noes poor Wiggo-wannabes), I'm not sure I'd be remotely bothered in the slightest. Does anyone actually care about NCAP these days? Other than Volvo and over-protective parents?

FTFY

Will we get another separate thread for the pics?

Massive bargain. Why do people get so scared when a car hits 100k miles still?! Let's assume it needs £2.5K worth of wear and tear work, it's still cheap.

Jeez, really?!

Yes. Very wrong. Unless it’s in poverty spec for the supposed £16k list, in which case get in the queue as I want one too!

The Caramic stuff? Never used it, normally I’d be completely disinterested given they use wipes rather than a liquid but AF stuff is usually quite good so... I’ll just defer to @ilogikal1 on this methinks

Most major manufacturers own their own finance companies these days, it’s a massive source of extra profit for them given that so many people do PCP these days. That said, I don’t for one second think that it’s grounds to reject a vehicle for some poor quality leather, in case anyone is planning on those lines. I know we’re talking about BR’s alignment issues atm, I just didn’t want to confuse matters given the subject title.
