What a piss boiler. Suspect he was in that van and they were scouting the neighbourhood.
That's pretty impressive resolution on that camera though, I was surprised that the scum was so clear on it when full-screening the image.
Nothing in the MoT regulations about that, I checked recently when I removed my door cards.
They get upset about sharp bits on the bodywork that could injure pedestrians but the driver can spray blood all over the interior, not a problem ;)
That sounds very wrong, I’d stop using it until you can get the charger sorted out TBH. I doubt it’s doing the machine any good at all if you’ve got sparking and shutdowns.
WBAC prices are just a reflection of what their data shows they can get for a particular car at a particular time. They're part of the BCA group and pay well for cars that will be easy to sell into the dealer networks they serve, anything else just gets punted in their general auctions so they...
Fair comment ref the pricing, I guess the question is whether you want to keep the mag ride dampers or not. If you've not got them then coilovers with adjustable damping would seem like better value.
I've always liked these, apparently it's possible to dial out a lot of the understeer with some choice suspension bits:

Might have to give that a go, I remember happy drunken null-modem MechCommander gaming sessions at uni.
Kids, if you don't know what a null-modem cable is, ask your parents, assuming they used to play PC games. Or google it. Whatever, I don't care :D
Oh yeah, that's going to be a "thing" soon enough. PPF removal services, undetectable, blah blah blah.
It's just not worth the cost of re-engineering cars which are low selling and/or nearly end of life to meet the new test requirements.
At that budget and if it's just a temporary thing I'd be going used mate, it's a bit of a roll of the dice but you should be able to find something decent local enough to go and see, plus you shouldn't lose much or anything if you want to sell it on and upgrade later.
For what it's worth I've...
Thanks guys - much appreciated. I remember hearing good things about the Costco Arcan jack a few years back and it doesn't need to be particularly light as it's for home use. Definitely some options there.
Whats good these days for jacks and axle stands? Don’t mind spending a bit of money for decent quality kit so not looking at £30 eBay special jacks (unless they’re decent - some hope!)
My t(rusty) old 2 tonne Halfords jack has served me pretty well, but it’s not low entry and is achingly slow...
Holy thread resurrection!
Just wondering why the preference for wireless over wired? I’ll only ever be using one within range of mains power, is it just the cord gets in the way? I think I’m going to go for either the mains Clarke or the “eBay special” battery job, but have literally zero...
I’ve got an Office 365 subscription so use that on the home PCs and iOS devices. Can’t fault it and get unlimited OneDrive storage too. Works out cheap if you buy a code from amazon every year and use the onedrive a lot.
