Same here, but when I've had to disconnect the battery that's how I've always done it and it's been fine.

I'd still f**k it up.

I don't agree with the mismatching statement at all. I've got PE2's on the rear and P Zero Nero's on the front at the minute. The P Zero's were originally on the back, but I put them on the front to wear them down quicker so all 4 tyres can match. The PE2's were new a month ago. The car doesn't...

Just disconnect the negative terminal on the battery (the black one) and leave it for an hour. As long as you do it with the car unlocked and the alarm unarmed it shouldn't go spazzy when you reconnect it.

Should do.

Has anyone done a guide on moving the battery so a reprobate like myself can follow it? I'd like to make some room in the engine bay for an idea I've had...

It's so easy to do yourself I wouldn't even entertain the idea of paying someone else to do it, and that's coming from someone who's definitely not mechanically minded and always pays other people to do stuff!

+1. And don't forget the standard ECU can be remapped anyway. Don't let this turn into an argument about who's the best mapper. We get enough of that already.

5w40 fully synthetic is the recommended stuff, although you can use 0w40 or 10w40 if you can't find any. Any brand is fine but I'd avoid the cheapo Halfrauds stuff. Plus it takes 5.1 litres to fill the car. If the oil is at the bottom mark on the dipstick it takes exactly one litre to get it...

The rear brakes do very little anyway don't they?

^ Same here.

Just give it to them. They'll respect you for it and it'll most probably benefit you in future, if only to make you a bit more indispensible.

That's a lot!

EDIT: Not reading the rest of the thread fail.

f**k sake. You buy a performance car and then moan when it uses any petrol. Kind of against the point of owning it if you ask me. Trade it in for a push bike if it matters that much, you won't use any petrol at all then.

You'd have got epic MPG following John home. ;)

NP :)

Are you 100% sure there's no additional configuration on the switch that could be affecting it? Sounds very dodgy that, it's simply not normal behaviour. Tried a different switch port? An obvious suggestion I guess. Also, I know it sounds pointless since all other workstations can ping the...

It's also worth mentioning that the Core 2 Duo processor in the 13" MBP is actually faster (proven) than the equivalent i3.

I've got a Drobo which I attach to my MBP via Firewire 800. Quality piece of kit, if a bit overpriced.

Ah, another local. Welcome :)

Got no experience of them mate, but you can't go wrong with Giganews or Astraweb if you're looking for an a decent Usenet provider. I went from Giganews to Astraweb because it's cheaper, and I haven't found the download speeds to be any worse. If you want a couple of dollars a month off the...

You can pick up a 360 for £35k anyway if you go for a high mileage one. And high mileage on a Ferrari usually means it's done the sum total of driving up and down the country a couple of times.

When you hold the "C" key on startup, are you pressing it before the chime? If not, you're doing it wrong. It should pick up the fact that the disk is in the drive and boot from it, then you can repair the startup disk. Might as well repair disk permissions while you're in there as well.

You must have little girls' hands then!

I've been reading this thread for ages now with interest. I'd love to know what's wrong with the car or if it's just down to the mapping. I really do feel for you though, especially when it's got to the point where you're planning to get rid of the car over it. Personally I'd say get it to one...

It'll be all steel surely?

Try holding [Command + Option + P + R] together when you start it up too, but make sure you're holding them all before the chime. See if that helps.

Driveway.
