    New vlog on the Jaguar F-Type V6 S's used credentials. Yay or nay?

    my father in law has one. Its the slightly later model with nearly every single option. Its a fabulous car and rides exceptionally well (in comparison to my 140). He loves it too. The noise it makes definitely gets my knickers moist too. 🤣 That said, I do ever so slightly gain on him on the...

    The new tool thread

    Yeah, further reading did say that tbh. I know it will have its limitations. Lots of the exhaust bits are silly thick though so im sure id be fine. Its more just a toy to play with tbh. Never done any welding so it could go very badly but how hard can it be, right? 🤣

    The new tool thread

    That was my gut feeling too. Especially as I did some research on how much even a decent arc welder is....:oops: For how much I use it, I might take a punt. I just know we are gonna get to a point that we are gonna need a welder. Even for the exhaust or whatever just to tack stuff in place. I'm...

    The new tool thread

    pls dont hate me. Been looking for a very very cheap welder (ideally ARC) just for very tiny spot welds etc. We are having the Mexico back from the restorers and I can just see us needing to do a couple of tack welds on bits. Only £30. Thoughts..... 🤡 :poop...

    they seem like the ultimate daily until you get christmas cards from your local fuel station :poop: Nah, they are great. Hang fire on the prices though, they will come back down and it wont be too long. For reference, I paid £17 for mine 2 weeks before the first lockdown. Its still worth around...

    Yep, many many remaps now. Another good way to tell is to get an appropriate compatable OBD scanner, download the MHD app free and it tells you if its been flashed and how many times too ;)

    I did more research than id care to admit on these cars before I bought mine...... 235i have the N55 engine. The internet will tell you that they suffer from oil starvation. They rarely do as long as topped up. Also, donuts arent advised but open diff isnt exactly easy to do anyway. Otherwise...

    That seems to be the general consensus too. I absolutely love my 140. So much so, I threatened to sell it to fund my wedding and my entire family (sensing the oncoming loss-of-car depression) all told me that if I sold it, they wouldnt attend the wedding 🤣 🤣 🤣 It is a great all rounder. Its not...

    M140 Thread

    This is the conundrum I have about buying an M2. Someone, on another forum, said that a 135/140 is 75% of the car an M2 is but an M2 is 75% more money! Ive been going up to scotland now every year for the last 3 and its epic. Could I justify another 15k on top of my 140 for an m2 just for that 1...

    exactly this. I found it half decent but quite a bit is needed. Probably wont buy it again as I prefer one of the CarChem trio ones more

    Im still using that Tyre Candy that came in the Infinity Wax Mystery Box. Really nice stuff. The smell is nice but it leaves a natural looking finish. Its what I used on the E Tron 55 I did the other day. I just apply a fair bit to a square mf applicator (the little brick ones) and apply it that...

    nahh, they arent that bad. Theyre not Honda Jazz bad, but theyre no clio in terms of feel. Its a weird one to try and explain but I think @jenic sums it up quite well by saying youve just gotta trust it....that, however, does take some time 🤣 Dont let the steering or suspension negatives let...

    Funny you mention this. Can't decide whether or not to go for m4 lower control arms to give me some more feeling / turn in up front or to go for suspension mods. Think insurance will prefer the prior though - Ageas are nazis :(

    I survived! Thank god the dog was black but poor old Henry was pretty pissed by the end of all the hoovering. Just worked out it was a 9 hours hard graft. Didn't try the G&T tip but I'll remember that for next time. Customer was over the moon. Told me I had removed 90% of the dog smell and...

    Honestly, I havent a clue. All they keep telling me is 'its really fast' 🤣 Im actually still at work, and will be till 5. Head torch and light stands required. Think ill give it a heavy dose of foam, get the brushes out, get the wheels done and call it a night. Up early tomorrow, finish...
