Far and away better than SE3, just completed the first mission and I'm loving it.

Sounds right up my street

Oh, go on then, arm twisted, etc. The engine looks awesome - big step forward from 3. 5 hour 30 minute download on my crappy internet connection though...... <sigh>

Still, you have to admit, it does sound *kinda* interesting :D

Stop it, this way lies madness :D

@Darren S @Gareth Have either of you played Sniper Elite 3 much? If so, how does 4 stack up? I’m currently working my way through 3, it’s very different to my usual style of game but there’s something compelling about it. I do find the “bullet cam” stuff a bit off putting sometimes, which is...

Very nice! I seriously considered one of these before going for the Golf R, the discounts and finance deals BMW do on them are just insane. Engine is an absolute peach. Only reason I’ve not got one is I fancied 4WD this time round.

I really despair at the reporting of this in the media, “people have suspected for years that Apple deliberately slow down old phones with software updates - well it’s true!”. Talk about missing the point completely. Old phones get slower with upgrades because the OS is more complicated and is...

Well, to be fair, without the software update your phone would be shutting down a lot more. The software changes are to avoid as far as possible the scenario you're having, but they can only go so far. They should have been open about it though.

It’s still a useful thing to have, the tester may turn round and try to incorrectly fail it for low rear braking effort even once the binding is sorted out. Hope I didn’t creep you out by checking the fail sheet, it just seemed quicker than asking a bunch of questions and your reg is in your...

Not sure that covers imbalance across the rear axle? It would cover front to rear imbalance i.e. rear brakes putting in little braking effort but if one side of the axle is putting in significantly less effort than the other that's not great and I wouldn't have thought it would be caused by the...

Probably because someone at Autocar is subscribed to your channel, or one of their friends is, and away it goes. Your videos are also unusually calm, clear and informative, so if you were going to pick one to quote it’s a good one. IMO it’s a rather lazy, sorry excuse for journalism but every...

Glad to hear it's fitted, fingers crossed for the permanent fix and hopefully getting details of it.

Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid, just basing it on sometimes it can be a bugger to get a car to make the turn in one go if you get the line slightly wrong. First pic is the view down the drive towards the road, second two are the road and the turn onto the drive. There's also a white stone...

Some of them do seem to go just fine with a lot of power and the right map, been a while since I was a Volvo beard so I'm probably a bit out of touch ;)

Nice choice. Might be slightly biased. :D

To be fair to Ford, the 2.5 lump in the RS and ST which quite often needs the block mod is a Volvo engine and very little to do with them in terms of the core design. The mistake seems to have been to up the power when they decided to make it the new "T5" engine because they couldn't make the...

I'd love to get myself a trailer setup, but I've got a tight 90 degree corner to get onto my drive and I don't think I'd be able to make it - basically a single track road with a 90 degree turn into a driveway just wide enough to get a transit down with a couple of inches clearance either side...

T1-S was a far worse tyre than the T1-R to be fair to the R, the R was a good tyre for the price although not great in the wet, or the cold. I used them with no real complaints, but like I say it was a very, very long time ago. :wink: The Eagle F1 peed all over them by comparison, and that’s...

They were decent enough, if never class leading except in terms of bang for buck, but that was about fifteen years ago. Ancient design, long surpassed. I’m genuinely mystified that they still have an almost cult following. I mean, they’re not lethal or anything but they’re still treated like...

Got a Belkin Bluetooth keyboard/case combo on mine, can’t fault it. It’s tough, battery lasts ages and not too heavy.

That's not bad, and also good that they didn't mess about, I guess the technical bulletins are out now. Either that or they watch your YT vids, power of celebrity and all that :D

Seriously, stop it, once I've sorted my daily I want a 7-a-like for a toy and after the M3 it makes me look like some creepy perv who's copying your choices :D

@mossyv6 E46 M3? Ideal family car :D

It's an unusual kink, but whatever floats your boat :D

Goddamnit, I can't believe you're selling this, after meeting you I always had it in my head that if you sold one of yours I'd be all over it..... Lovely example mate.

You’ve got me wanting another one now, stop it.

As you say, at least Ford have acknowledged the issue. Aren't they on the verge of a full blown recall? I don't see they've got much choice, it's not something any car can afford to have hanging over it no matter how widespread it is in reality. Fingers crossed it's something silly like a leaky...

I’ve got an SE, if you don’t do much web browsing, emailing and tons of stuff with different apps and games it’s nigh-on perfect. Still works well with Waze in the car. I was looking at the range myself the other day and I think I’d go for a 7 if I was wanting one with a bigger screen on a...
