    remap?

    Though i do have issues with them calling them "re-maps" unless youve written the map then is should really be called a "re-programme" or is that just me being pedantic (and i am in no way a mapper or programmer for that matter)

    Looking for advice with regards to a Garage and where I stand!

    Hilarious MOT result today...

    Your right they cant - Technically if the cills have holes in them under the covers they cant fail it for corrosion if they have to remove said covers to see corrosion Same loophole as the windscreen wipers not having to work if there is no windscreen

    "Clio Tax"

    Totally Agree , hence the number of cars being broken once people are done with them I also think that they are at their lowest point i doubt theyll get much cheaper - but are there the new breed of enthuiasts coming through to keep these things going , like the MGB and austin healeys ?
