Could be, I guess, if you squinted and imagined a bit.

Nah, that's an image from a completely different car, they've uploaded the wrong one is all. I've seen a couple of Zeds with rear seats, but it's a conversion that I think most agree on here is bordering on dangerous.

Lack of confidence. If he'd kept his foot in and steered correctly, he'd probably have been okay. I suspect the driver has a modicum of car control, but just not the balls to put theory to practice.

It's fine. Anywhere between zero and max on the pressure gauge is perfectly acceptable. Checking the oil level is far more critical than varying pressures.
-
My first post on this thread should give you enough information to make up your own mind. What's your initial thoughts?
-
In the 911, Impreza and MX-5, nothing. In the truck, the Waxybox air freshener because it smells amazeballs.
-
I don't blame Pirelli at all, I blame this exclusively on FOM. They wanted crap tyres, now they've got them.

Guilty conscience car

Rimwax has a stupid name, but it is pretty damn good. The other thing I'd use would be FK1000P, although you need more prep with that stuff but it'll last a year. Personally I don't bother any more, I just use some Espuma Revolution, which brings the wheels up a treat every time.

Just take it back to where you bought it from, give them a chance at least. I know how I'd feel if I sold something and then the customer comes in a week later going "I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE BETTER AND THEY FOUND THIS AND THIS AND THIS WRONG!!!". Not that you would, but you know what I mean.

I use UnRAID. Incredibly simple (as in even I can use it) but quite powerful (as in others far more knowledgeable than me use it!) bit of software.

I could spend forever on that site.

Condenser is the rad itself. You'll have two, one for the cooling for the engine and one for the air con system. That little tube is the accumulator/dryer (some people call it different things).
-
We can tell from the extra fingers Urban stuff I can't help with, but for the outdoorsy bits I'd just head out to the nearest area of green stuff at dawn/dusk and shoot away. Even just placing a car at an angle on the road with some fields and barns behind it will look ace if the lighting is right.

He's not taken it back yet.

Again, you cannot reject a car just because it has a few faults. It's up to you to find out whether there are any issues before you make the purchase, not after. The OP did this, he just got a bit unlucky which happens as you can't really take a car out for a week before buying. You can only reject a car if they cannot or will not fix the problem.

Free showroom Shine Car Cleaning Pack

That's what I'd use it for, give it a quick spruce up when it's already free of dirt. -

Just be careful chaps, these products 99 times out of 100 will cause massive swirlmarks on your paint that won't show up until next time you clean it. Not saying that it's not worth a try, but I'd only use it if your paintwork is shot anyway or at least try it on just the one area that could be repaired fairly easily (bonnet, for example). -
Two out of three for me, and in the right places
-
I consider that to be the case with all insurance companies.
-
Perhaps, but when teams ran at the 2psi extra the tyres were delaminating in the middle, just as you'd expect from an overinflated tyre. I believe that Pirelli have designed the current batch around the fact that most teams run them low anyway.
-
What annoyed me most about the race was the last 8 laps. Best bit of racing we've seen all year, and purely down to the fact that most drivers didn't have to worry about their tyres! Just get rid of these silly things, run two compounds by all means but make either one capable of lasting 2/3 of a race.
-
If you run 225 all round, you're going to massively increase oversteer potential on the car, which is not something I'd recommend doing at all. As above, keep the stagger on those tyres and you'll be fine on those wheels.

Got a box ticked wrong in the reply page?
