I'm still on 7. When the first bugs were announced I decided to wait for 8.1. Now I'm wondering if it's worth changing as I've no issues with 7 and hate change. What are peoples favourite features of 8 over 7?

Or buy a Trophy to scratch your itch, and not lose much on it when you sell it (if you buy right).

You don't sound like you'll be happy unless you buy one.

Any reason for parking on the pavement?

Sounds like there's hidden issues with the PB if he was prepared to do that deal! I hope I'm wrong though. Ignition barrel probably one of them!

Where's that thread showing the car that caught fire with these fitted?

With regards to the knock when braking - it may be worth checking your caliper bolts are torqued up. I've known cars to do similar in the past and when tightened and thread locked, it's sorted it.

I had some tyres that were perished many years ago. Carried on driving the car thinking it would be fine, until one blew out at speed on the motorway one day.

They differ. They have colours painted on them to identifty.

If it's over 12 it's highly likely your fault is elsewhere. Giving the starter a few whacks is a good shout. For what it's worth. I was trying to get a car started this weekend which I'd never had running before. Put a battery on showing low high 10's/ low 11's and the starter was very very...

My post wasn't actually very clear, mine did exactly the same. I'd started it to move it a very short distance, and thus not charged it up at all, and then when I went to move it back after getting something out of the garage, it wouldn't start and the battery was goosed. You may be able to...

Put a multimeter on the battery and post the reading. It might not have enough juice to start it. I had a similar issue once, moved the car after only running it for a few seconds and then it died. The battery had been getting worse over time though - and was a genuine 8 year old Renault one.

I agree with your theory regarding the pass switch.

So what did UPS have to say?

I think what he's saying is you don't need to put paint stripper on everything you want to repaint. A key with sandpaper would suffice. I must say I enjoyed reading through your thread. You appear to have a good 'can do' attitude.

MOT testers can't start removing stuff, so to cover themselves they will state what's in the way. Take side skirts for example. Likely to hide rot so they will poke at what they can but if they feel there's probably something under there, they will note it.

So do you guys do wrapping as well?

Correct. Orange bulbs for clear lenses

Would have been getting dark at 5pm, in fairness to the cleaner.

Mine was about as low as your pic and it would rub the arch liner occasionally but not the bracket from what I remember. It was a long time ago so I may have bent the bracket out of the way.

Could be tempted, dependant entirely on when it is.

Taunton member myself. That estate looks very familiar also!

You'd struggle to get in there even with a power file, so I'd probably brush some Kurust or similar over it and then prime.

Has the panel you want to put it on been resprayed?

Tag tied around a spoke with string (strong stuff mind - don't want it to perish in 5 months!?!??!!) Personally I just use a paint pen.

Makes you wonder whether it's worth just dropping it off with a specialist doesn't it!

Did you get one in the end?

Perhaps that's a clause that a few insurance companies hold with Copart? Just thinking out loud, but I'm sure I heard somewhere that if they pay out for the car, it's no longer your property to demand to purchase so they can sell it to copart/do as they see fit. Usually when you can buy them...

What were you insuring at 15? Tried Greenlight?

99% of people on here don't put their location which is frustrating.* *If it's stated in their profile then fair enough.
