Noticed Richer Sounds were selling the 65" C4 for £100 less than JL, so thought I'd take my chances and submit a price match. Pretty cheekily, but got to be done right? Just got an email confirmation that they're going to give me a £100 refund. I was half expecting them to refuse to be honest...

Customer service was s**t to be honest. It's taken 3 weeks for me to get a voucher so that I could order a replacement TV. So because we'd paid using the Finance option, JL said they'd only issue the voucher to the finance company and that I'd need to chase them up to get the voucher issued to...

John Lewis gives a standard 5-year warranty with all their TV's, which was the main reason I ordered from them. I've not read their terms and conditions fully, but it states: If we can't repair your product, we'll replace it with the same model, or a model with an equivalent specification, in...

Randomly didn't turn on one evening. Engineer reckons it need a new screen, as one of the boards he suspected was the issue can only be offered with the screen. I did Google to try and find some cost of replacement, as I was hoping a new TV would be the outcome, and I couldn't find much, but...

So my 65" LG C1 (2021) packed in about 3 weeks ago, and I've just been emailed by John Lewis to say that the TV can't be repaired. So they've offered me a £1299 voucher to use in store to replace the TV. What's the current go to TV in this price range? John Lewis have the 65" LG C4 (2024) on...

I've still not pulled the trigger to be honest. But I have now fitted some solid top mounts, and I've also been working through the front end bushes and ball joints to freshen everything up, and it feels better, along with getting rid of a knocking noise I was chasing. I'm 99% set on the...

I've fitted Powerflex arb bushes in the past, and know they're fine. But at £95 for a set versus less than £10 for the Febi ones above, I can't justify the extra cost. Plus, I'm sure the Febi one will likely outlast the time I keep the car. I suspect the ones on it are original and 22 years old now.

Update on this, I ended up ordering lower ball joints from ECP, as this was causing my front-end knocking noise. Part numbers above are correct. Link for ECP: https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/lemforder-ball-joint-617745225 Also, as I'm having new tyres fitted today, and the tracking was out...

I guess it's more costly to crash on track than it is on the road from a financial point of view? Do you also get charged for recovery if you break down on track? His V8 E36 is pretty cool too.

I scratched one of my side panels, trying to put the front bumper back on, on one of my previous 182's years ago. If I were doing it again alone, I'd probably just throw some masking tape on there to protect the side panels.

Annoyingly, these PS5 have been out of stock for a couple of weeks or more, and Camskill reckon they'll not be back in stock until the end of June. So I've ended up having to order something else. Went for some Kuhmo PS71's, based on reviews/tests I've found online. They're typically 1-2% worse...

I removed an RS2 inlet from a 182 a few years ago to go back to the standard inlets. I was selling the car, so it just made sense for the small account of work. Sold it for £1k, and already had all the bits to return it to standard. Anyway the car was mapped by rs tuning, made 185bhp, and...

I bought an E91 325d a couple years ago that had done very few miles over the previous 3-4 years, The previous owner had generally looked after it pretty well, and had owned the car for around 10 years, but just didn't need to use it very often towards the final years. That had similar issues...

I'm pretty sure mine is the same system, and it isn't droney at all. It is however, pretty loud, and definitely more raspy than typical. But it also has a sports cat rather than the standard cat. In the past on my 182's, I've found that changing from the standard cat to a sports cat makes a big...

Can I check I've got the correct part for my 172 cup before ordering with the more knowledgeable people on here? Firstly, I believe the ARB bushes should be 23mm and 25mm in diameter, but Autodoc lists them as 23.5mm inner and 24mm outer. Inner bush...
