  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. Yes it will more lol.

    tyre choice

    Might as well put the cheapest tyres you can find on then, if that's the case. Anything legal will do.
  5. 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,
  7. Do you know those guys then?

    Ouch! Sorry to hear this fella, hope you feel better soon. Could've been much worse.
  9. 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.
  11. Ta, I shall pass your compliments on to the missus, she always likes it when other folks compliment her car
  12. I know, I was quite impressed with that myself, didn't realise I was pushing that hard! Yeah, the outfit needs to go really. The helmet is fine still but ageing, it's the suit that really needs to get binned as it used to fit the old me when I weighed 5st more than I do now, so it just hangs off me! Never mind that it really does look like I copied the Stig too

    It's not. My MX-5 has solid mounts and it passes MOT fine.

    I also wipe my arse with gold leaf
  15. Dropping a profile may mean you have TCS issues. Running the same size all round means you're going to get some intense oversteer, which means the back end is likely to want to overtake the front very easily, not something I'd recommend

    Put it this way, if you have the MPSS on you'll be about 5% quicker than if you put the Falkens on. Work out how much it would cost you put 5% more power in the car (call it 15bhp) and see if you think the extra couple of hundred quid is worth it then. Never mind they'll last you longer as well as stop you quicker and make the car more fun too...

    It wasn't one of the Recaros! Actually, I didn't look at that page fully, it looks like they've stopped going the one I bought now. It was under £100, I think.
  18. You don't have a cistern in the loft? In that case you must have a combi boiler doing your heating, and a direct cylinder running on the immersion heater? The bigger, the better. 50-70 gallons minimum, but if you leave it running for a while then you can drain that quickly. I reckon at least 140 gallons (2x70) one for hot and one for cold.
  19. Mine's here too, seriously impressed with this, definitely worth the money. If we can sort out making this £10 +p&p every month, I'm in for a year at least I reckon.

    I bought one of these. Cheap, poor stitching and quality of leather, great colours, seat is very comfy. For a cheapy office chair it's fine, no way would I put it anywhere posh or near a car though. Put it this way, I haven't bought a matching one for my office at home yet.
  21. Why would they? They only have to supply you with a certain pressure (IIRC it's 1 bar), anything else over that is a bonus. My guess is that they have a lot of leaks, and by turning down the pressure they're saving their own costs.
  22. Has it been reported? Have you reported it? That's the only way to make any headway towards compensation, although since you haven't suffered a loss I doubt you'll get very far.
  23. I played both BF3 and COD6. They're basically the same, I couldn't tell you which I preferred as they were much of a muchness. Same guns, same angry blokes shouting, same level styles. Just very similar. Only so much you can do with guns and modern day combat, I guess.

    Is this GPR? If you go, try and get some pics of the interior if you can, I've always wondered how it compares in size to DT and whether it would be worth me going there for a race suit and lid rather than Wrexham.
  25. Pics as promised:
