  1. I'd rape someone with a chainsaw if they ever hurt either of my cats. Seriously, pepper works wonders, doesn't show up on or mark the car at all either
  2. Pepper. Put a fine dusting of black pepper over the bonnet and after a few times of trying, I promise you it will stop.
  3. Assuming that's an honest car, that's a pretty good buy.
  4. I got Plusnet for my Nan, prices and speed cannot be beaten. It's all on the same BT hardware, so go with the cheapest.
  5. That's crazy money. Engine or gearbox is only £1000, call it £500 fitting and you're not even double the cost of the warranty. Put the money in the bank, after two years you're quids in
  6. Ekona

    dyno's?

    It doesn't matter. Either a hub dyno or chassis dyno will still have to guess your engine power, just make sure whichever one you use you stick with and you'll be fine.
  7. Even if they were new, why should Nissan fix it? They were installed on a non-OEM application, it's the spacer at fault not the nuts I think.
  8. £500?
  9. Definitely shouldn't happen, I'd be getting onto the supplier
  10. I know you said to expect errors, but just so you know the text on the AP 997.2 exhaust needs looking at Quality design, easy to navigate, I'm very impressed mate. And I'm not easily impressed!
  11. Bit late Will, he's bought an M5 as in the pics 7 posts above yours
  12. PH review Seems pretty fair. What concerns me is the numbers, and I don't mean the power or the price: If Nissan expect this car to make up 30% of future sales of the 370, then my guess is they're not expecting to sell very many of these at all.
  13. Interestingly I've seen a lot more people say that they're going to buy the PS4 than the XB1, but more folks have actually put their money where their mouth is and pre-ordered the Xbox. I've also noticed that the XB1 threads on various forums are aroubnd 10x bigger than the PS4 threads. Granted, it's mostly complaining, but how does the saying about publicity go again?
  14. Do it! Take the Zed, would be my first bit of advice. Whilst hiring an AMG or similar car would be fun, you'll want something nimble on those mountains to make the most of them. Get a good geo before you go to get all the understeer dialled out and you'll have a blast. As above, do the Lambo, Ferrari and Pagani tours if you can, they're all pretty close to each other so would seem a shame not to. A combination of Expedia and Trip Advisor is a good way to pick hotels, I didn't get a crap one at all on my trip. For me, things like wifi and free parking were a must, and Expedia does mention if it has those. Choose your time to go carefully. Go too soon and the passes will still be closed (some are still closed today for this year), go too late and they'll be heaving with traffic and you'll hate it.
  15. You make it sound like the 2.0 is a fire breathing monster! Good choice, lighter up front too
  16. Pray tell .... why ? General consensus from the experts after keeping my eye on the market for a couple of years. 3.4 with the fried egg lights is looking better as a design as time goes on, but the 4S gains the Turbo look with solid 4wd for cheaps.
  17. Makes one half of naff all difference which one you go for. Cosworth would be my choice, but any name brand will do.
  18. Much like the way the Meriva and Zafira killed the VXR brand.
  19. 996 3.4 or 4S. Either of those, kept as standard as possible so no aero kit, can only go one way. Zed won't, unlikely the BMWs will either.
  20. Complete mess of a design. No coherency at all.
  21. All cool kids have an MX-5 1.8 or 2.0?
  22. Ask yourself this: Why would the price of a defunct console go up the closer it gets to the launch of the successor?
  23. You're worried about parts costs but are considering an M3? 986 2.7 stripped out for £5K, gives you £5K for go faster bits/repairs.
  24. Lol they would say that! Everyone will do the same, so they'll have loads of consoles to sell and will need to buy them cheap to ensure they don't lose out. I mean, clearly it's a well known fact that when a new console is released, everyone buys the old one.
  25. Superb car. We briefly looked at them but Jo's not so keen sadly. On the subject, am I the only person who didn't know that Dacia was pronounced Datcher until I saw the TV ad?
