  1. I guess the only way it could matter is if either option was particularly dreadful. However even then it’s not foolproof, as for example the majority will tell you the E63 6er manual ‘box is crap but a simple change of gearknob sorted that right out for me. I dont think the slushbox in the 370 is wonderful as it’s pretty dim witted compared to modern ones, but it’s far from terrible either. Plus if you’re buying a Nismo that’s irrelevant as they’re all manual anyway!
  2. Nope, report it to eBay (if you haven't already), they're super-hot at getting those removed.
  3. Well yeah, but as long as the lamp glows orange I can't see it ever being an issue.
  4. Spray the insides black, like the headlights?
  5. Grille is a billion times better Can you not get clear reflectors and orange silverlight bulbs?
  6. Is it because he can still sell it for above list?
  7. 458 with DCT is amazing. With a manual it would be perfection.
  8. It’s not though Look, I’ll be the first person to tell you that if you want involvement then get a proper gearbox, but at the same time you need to buy what’s right for you. No one can tell you otherwise, so just try them both.
  9. Easy one 'cos it's late and I'm tired lol
  10. I want to say Jag XJ due to the silver gill.
  11. Check pressures, then get the bloody geo sorted! Assuming they’re good, then accept the limitations of your tyres and/or talent.
  12. Sounds like an air leak post MAF to me, so I’d def start by checking all the connections from there to the throttle body.

    £400 is a lot cheaper than randomly changing geos and parts until you get it right, and tbh that's a bargain assuming you get a decent amount of seat time.
  14. Well folks, the competition for Most Retarded Post Of 2018 can now be closed, as it looks like we have our winner.
  15. Or you could’ve listened to me when I told you it makes bugger all difference
  16. Each corner can take 610kg, so 1220kg over the rear axle or twice as much as your calculation two tyres per axle, remember. You simply can’t buy tyres anymore that aren’t suitable for modern cars unless horrendously modified, like monster trucks. Insurers won’t give a toss about tyres as long as they’re e-marked and not bald.
  17. Makes no difference in terms of replacements, anything in 19" will be fine.
  18. Stop rubbing dirt into your car, that’s how you get scratches!
  19. Either or, tbh it's not really relevant to a main dealer what indies charge as they're not in direct competition, and you'd expect to pay more for the value of the stamp and the nice sofas, free coffee & biscuits, pretty receptionist etc. Just how much more is a value only you can decide
  20. Bingo! Cheeky one as they're the same light cluster as the AE86
