I'd have thought a rev3 tubby would've been a better bet? Or even keep the old one and add to it if it's a track car. Still, as long as he's happy that's the main thing.
-
Depends. On a car with full service history and that might be worth a bit more (like a last of line, low mileage HR) then I'd probably just throw £150 at a service and be done with it. On an older DE car then I'd just do an oil change myself, stamp the book myself and make sure I kept the receipts.

You must be a terrible driver then

I've never seen anyone actually play at Stansted, but they must be making their money from somewhere.
-
Very real, they're at all the airports and I know people that have won.
-
Good lord they're cheap! No idea on quality, but price alone would put me off. Find out if they're E-marked, if so then I'd try them, else I'd look for a better brand. Try TRS if you're on a budget, I use them in the MX-5.

Follow the belts back from the bits you've circled until you get to the first adjuster. That's the bit you unwrap to remove the eyelet part and wrap around the harness instead. Trust me, it makes perfect sense when they're in your hands.
-
Then you know that you're not insured, right? And you've just admitted that on the internet?
-
You unwrap the end bit, so buy whichever one you want Bear in mind that if you're planning to remove the stock belts too, then you'll need an E-marked harness for MOT purposes. Both of the ones above will be fine, but if it was me I'd leave the stock belts in and get a decent 4 point harness in there instead.

Change insurer, job done.

Put four tyres on a credit card and worry about it later, a much better option than binning your new car.

But still not showing on the stick? You either need to add more or your dipstick is wrong,

4.5L including filter, did mine two weeks ago so I know that's right Definitely change it all and keep a very close eye on it, these engines don't tend to burn a lot of oil unless there's an issue. Much blue smoke on start up?
-
Erm, that's not good! Oil light is useless on all cars, by the time it comes on your engine is fubared. Have you not checked the oil level since Jan?
-
We run ours on 5w-40, generally accepted across the world as the best grade to use on the 2L turbo engines. I use Silkolene Pro S in ours, 'tis good stuff.
-
Yes it will more lol.
-
Might as well put the cheapest tyres you can find on then, if that's the case. Anything legal will do.
-
Works for me, I'm definitely in again, thanks for sorting
-
PS2s are dead now, you need the MPSS. VUS offer lower grip in all conditions, however feel from them is incredible. I quite like them, but in terms of ultimate grip they're definitely lacking,
-
Do you know those guys then?
-
Ouch! Sorry to hear this fella, hope you feel better soon. Could've been much worse.
-
As above, WiFi only.

Yup, but it's open to interpretation. I can unbolt my seat and move it into two or three different positions if I want, but none of them are as comfy as the one it stays in It's to stop seats that are mounted dangerously really, it's just poorly worded.

Ta, I shall pass your compliments on to the missus, she always likes it when other folks compliment her car
