Came in here to say Flux would do this. They were the only company who would offer some flexibility and insure the Evo while it was still rocking its Manx plates too.

TBH, if they're changing the alternator and the belt anyway, I'd be chucking on a new tensioner and whatever else is there.

Aren't the water pumps driven off the timing belt on 1*2s? New alternator and aux belt, most garages should be competent enough for that.

How far away is your garage? You could cut your aux belt off and drive on just the battery if it's a REALLY short distance.

EFA. :up:

Evo VI by Adam Lister, on Flickr My old toy, parked behind my new-ish toy.

I have some decent gloves, and they're really good at a. keeping alcantara wheels nice and fresh, and b. feeling good to drive with. http://www.stand21.com/products.r-2/gloves.r-15/ Pretty sure they're expensive, but I got them as a gift.

Yeah, I thought bugger it I'll just get a 15". Should be with me tomorrow, space grey with touch bar.

Think I'll head up to JL at lunch and have a poke at them.

@Brookie. Is yours 13" then? #giggity I'm looking at the 15" now, figured they must've lost some weight since I last had a 15" MBP back in 2008/2009.

Happened to be window shopping for a MBP earlier and saw that red iphone thing. The fan boy in me, went crazy. I quickly snapped out of it.

Yeah there's an XL1 that flies (steathily) around Chelsea/Knightsbridge too. Can't be many on the road! Edit. Nope. 21 of them! https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/volkswagen_xl1_hybrid_auto

Maybe I'll buy some plain ones and trim them a bit...

2 grand! 😊 I've just pulled my mud-flaps off, hated them! 😂

Pretty sure there's a tick box on the v5 that says exported..

Might have just had a dicky few days, since taking it off charge this morning ~7am, it's still on 85%.

Any excuse... Evo VI by Adam Lister, on Flickr

Anyone with an AW1 suddenly experiencing crap battery life? Mine used to last 2 days, easy. Over the last couple of days it's barely lasted one!

Yeah, believe so. I think it's 1.5 or 1.53 or something.

When I first got the VI, I thought - it's going to take ages to get used to this much power, (not taming it, just it feeling new and exciting) then I jumped in it on Sunday and I felt a little underwhelmed. I was thinking, how has it lost that feeling already... Turns out the boost controller...

But then I'd be spending from my "what breaks next" fund.. TBH my car is covered in aftermarket carbon already; probably from evobits! :grin:

I would not like to be hit by a RAM in it! 😂

Wow.

Yummy.

So, because Renault have never (I think) had representation in the US, all Renaults would be 'grey' and therefore illegal. Would be interested how the OP did it ! :)

Anything grey import is illegal. It was to protect their precious motor trade from civilians importing their own vehicles. Like we do here in the UK with Jap imports etc. Unless it's over 25 years old, and has historic merit. Hence, R32 Skyline values have sky rocketed, as they can now legally...

In which case, how good are you with taking apart laptops? BIOS PW jumper should be there on the board somewhere.

USB based BIOS flash update, might blow away the password. Or, ask your mate to ask his IT dept - if it was a legit acquisition.

My opinion is more or less the exact opposite. Rubber is designed to give a minute amount of flexibility, but offer good control over the suspension movement. There's a reason road cars don't have rose jointed suspension, it would need rebuilding every 5 minutes, and you'd have no teeth. OEM...
