  1. Some days I'm in my car 8 -10 hours and on the phone a lot !! Via Bluetooth of course and my car reads my texts
  2. I've loved this car I've tried but it's not for me I think , I crave the raw classic think wagon no3 to come
  3. Yeah I was in chertsey and then Bromley certain restrictions ! Then vans are restricted to about 2009
  4. Fitted one to my diesel bm and skoda was ok but I think if car was older and not in manufacture warranty I would just get a map
  5. Couple on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162320538683 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272499638630 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172402243334 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182399121828
  6. I go reading way quite a lot to a place I'm not allowed to disclose lol well I can tell you but will have to kill you m4 you need a strong clutch mate so opt for a auto ! I've just got rid of my Octavia (2012) tdi did 60mpg and I thrashed it ! Great car but if I had to spend 1500 quid on a mile muncher .... Vauxhall omega 2.5 td my reasons are : 1. I've had 2 v6 and we're an amazing car to drive and own 2. My dad had 2 before me when they were kinda new and he loved them 3. Parts are cheap 4. The td lump is a BMW engine so will run forever or you could find some lpg ones ! Mv6 prodrive edition is a weapon ( normally black 3.2 v6 manual ! )
  7. Bloke I know loves lpg as had range rovers etc but now he has a e46 330 touring , but like above it's chucking £1500 at a £1500 car ! £6500 I would go get a decent 535d or a6 tdi .... or if you want power try find a 335d
  8. Personally I do a lot of miles I would not consider a petrol , roads are different over here ... majorly ! I would get a diesel, when I started the job I'm in I was using my BMW 2.5 and that was doing about 24mpg on a run and boy do you notice it ! I switched to a tdci Mondeo which was faster and did 50mpg !
  9. 700 seems cheap , tho I not looked at it for years ! Don't see many stations doing the gas much anymore
  10. Yeah the standard immobiliser is crap and needs taking out they are prone to issues great least you got a nice upgrade apexi ecu !
  11. must of got rid of it then, was on there ages ago but its all full-dip now
  12. Look up thunder silver or thunder cloud by matt pack
  13. Plasti dip prob £15 quid a tin and don't go far hydro dip prob about 30/40 quid seen the kits on ebay I'm tempted by one
  14. I would go hydro dip over plasti dip any day of the week
  15. Yeah looks like a shell petrol station mate
  16. If I'm Huntingdon it's prob nicked
  17. one my mates E36 has been repaired by the garage many times as he refuses to sell it , last mot they said its worth 500 quid max but you need to spend a grand on stuff but he didnt care as he loves that car its a really nice 328i coupe in a nice colour
  18. Was a mint wagon on a 51 plate with loads too spec bits including prodrive everything !! Think that was 2995 but not seen it in ages and it only had about 70k on clock
  19. quit

    Smart Watches

    ive turned it off the smart function at work now as just constant goes off with facebook bo11ox and notifications But driving along its great if you get a text you can just quickly see it etc without looking away, and also reply hands free
  20. My top tips for buying a classic , ive had a few and purchased a few for friends or to sell on but this is what i normally use as a mental check list: 1. ROT first up outside check the underside, subframe, arches for bad repairs and rot. then go in the boot, pull the carpets back and have a good look about, get right in the arch liner panel with a torch - any water or rust walk away 2. Poor parts Worked on by specialists such as " rotherham scoobies / Tony hough " or "midland scooby services - hammond " / Bart Rocko / Facebook tuners walk away 3. Check for more rot 4. Unmapped cars - only needs a map tweek is bull sh2t , decat / changed turbos etc walk away 5. Cars with manual boost controllers - walk away 6. Ebay chinese turbos walk away 7. STi parts --- no real such thing 8. Prodrive pack - No certifcate then it dont exist 9. Rot 10. Con merchants like rotherham scoobies trying sell you a car 11. Avoid buying via facebook traders - cant be arsed with proper advertising such as pistonheads/ebay dont bother
  21. 30mm ???? Say bye bye to that handling and wheel bearings!
