  1. To save fuel? Change up around 2500. For fun? Change up a fraction before you nudge the limiter. Your current method is probably about as close as you'll get if you just want to save fuel, it's not much fun though!
  2. I call BS. No way would or could a council earmark properties that haven't even been built yet for people that aren't even in the country yet, not when the waiting list is so long already. They would be under immense pressure to get that list down as low as possible, not hold properties back for immigrants. Why would they? How does it benefit anyone? The council cannot afford to have properties left empty as they have had their grants from the government cut already, so need to fill houses ASAP.

    Nissan Murano

    You've really got to love the looks to buy one. Slow, thirsty, not exactly exciting... I could think of better choices in that category, like the S-Max. They've discontinued it for a reason.
  4. You do realise that if caught you'll still have to pay import duty and VAT, right? Berk HFCs would get my vote, but I'm not sure I'd bother with the Nismo zorst anymore when there's so many other options available for less. Is that stuff really going to be cheaper than just buying from a trader on here, especially when you'll have no comeback easily? Little things like A-arms or camber/toe arms yes, but an entire exhaust?!
  5. I like the BF4 campaign.
  6. You sure? No option to change to 'veteran' on the controls select screen?
  7. ^^^ This. I don't pay for the cheapest insurance, I pay for the best insurance.
  8. Have you got the letter from them giving you permission to get the new plates made up yet? If you've got that and the V5, I'd swap them over.

    Lovin' this!

    It's like a dodgy GT-R jellymould gone horrible wrong. But yeah, it won't look like that. Thankfully!
  10. Assuming 98RON? Possible dodgy fuel tank level sensor, it does happen. That's if you're not genuinely getting 160 miles to a tank...! Any excessive soot around the exhaust pipes? Oil level ok?
  11. Job = carrot then.
  12. You had some very positive comments from the two guys I went down with too, and without any prodding from me either.
  13. Can you set PB pics/albums to private?
  14. You can change them back though
  15. It's your pic, you remove it!
  16. He's right, y'know. It should, in case blind people come to visit.
  17. Your car looked very smart Mike, and thanks too for letting me ahead of you when we entered the main gate too, thought I was going to be stuck on the wrong side of the road for ages

    upgrade

    What do you want to achieve? Looks, handling, adjustability? Budget? No point anyone recommending anything if you don't know what your goal is.
  19. THE CAR YOU FILTHY MINDED SODS
  20. Saw your car Sam, didn't manage to see you though. Looks good naked
  21. I had a glitch on the SP ship level where one of the NPCs was supposed to run up a ladder, but instead ran round and round on a pile of rubbish I even gave MP a go. I hate MP games. This was, to my surprise, really good fun! No knobheads like in CoD, a much more relaxed way of playing and I didn't feel like I was getting picked on for being utterly useless (2/8 in the final stats after just 10 mins!). I was on some CTF-style level where the tickets run down if you die and stuff, don't know what that is but it's a hoot. I had flashbacks of playing one of the earlier BF games on the PC (either 1 or 1942) and it all suddenly clicked again as to what I was supposed to be doing. And the destruction on the levels, mental stuff! Yeah, I'm going to enjoy this.
  22. Autoexpress are to detailing products what I am to subtlety.
  23. Cheap shite is what it is It's a sealant, so it protects rather than polishes. Crappy TW branding bollocks. Grab some Megs 3 stage paint cleaner, polish and carnauba wax (all liquids), it's in the red bottles near the TW stuff in Halfrauds. Really inexpensive, and will give a 100% better finish than that stuff. In fact, if you try it and genuinely prefer the TW, I'll give you the money for it myself.
  24. Bloody hell, BF4 is very pretty I couldn't care less about 720/900/1080 whatevers, all I know is that in isolation on my setup it's stunning to look at.
  25. I think you're getting a bit muddled, but not necessarily your fault as some products offer a combination of effects. A polish adds shine by removing defects. This what makes your paint look pretty. A wax protects this shine. This can add depth to a finish as well. Not sure what product it is you're using for those instructions, but they're wrong. What they should say is BUFF to a high gloss shine, not polish. Whatever it is, those instructions make it sound like a wax/sealant rather than a polish, especially as it says to put it over the plastics & trim: No (decent) polish should ever be put on those, as it'll stain and mark it.
