blimey, is it really not as out there as it sounds. it shocked me as surely the person who fell asleep was not driving with 'due care'....as they couldn't bloody see due to being asleep lol indeed, hiding that kind of query could be tough during audit lol

really!? now that is interesting I thought it would be along the same lines as not declaring a modification as if they sent the car for an independent MOT it would fail I have heard horror stories of insurers trying to get out of paying out. for example I read in the news a while ago about co-op refusing to pay out to a woman who was hit head on by another driver but because the other drivers fell asleep at the time of the accident the co-op were trying to say that person couldn't be held responsible for their actions no personal offence meant in what I say next BUT since when do our taxes in the UK get used resourcefully!! PMSL

reverse the signal from your brain such that it signals right when you want to go left & vice versa or maybe it could be the indicator relay connections are the wrong way round

that may be all well & good but are you not then infringing on your insurance insurers are complete arses & will wriggle out of any payments they can - if you were in an accident & they saw you had no CAT they could say it invalidates your MOT & as such invalidates your insurance

is it not an MOT fail if the car left the factory with a CAT but is then missing it

hi tim I can send you the one I use with various insurers if you like? lol

no problem m8 form sent

dave - I have a word doc I can send you which I use to mail round to the insurers PM your email addy :)

ha ha I was waiting for someone to mention the Koenigsegg 1 of those for me too pls!!!

I would like one after Christmas pls :)

hi Veedubbed im not sure yet, currently waiting for info from stuart - he was going to check over the weekend & let me know today

Rog they look superb!!! cracking result :D definitely pls put me down for a set, maybe two TBC do you think there would be similar success for the re-silvering of the rear corrado script badge? im sure many of us have those fading

ha ha ha well, as Jones said & they seem to have displayed in their responses to your post......"they don't like it up em" lol im sure there are probably people in the US having them made too. it is a little warped for that guy to think he should have a monopoly on replacement roof rails & definitely not on to have a go at something they haven't even seen fingers crossed Karmannski's turn out as we all hope they do :)

that has right tickled me, not 100% sure why but an image of Corporal Jones off Dad's Army springs to mind ;) LOL

received & replied - thank you

Hi All Having recently fitted an uprated loom & better bulbs to my early (1990) valver I have now found that the headlight beam adjusters are broken on each side. As such I cant use it as planned for winter daily duties at the moment :( I have looked on Heritage but their headlight prices made me weep!! Does anyone have either a set of good early headlights which are all intact? OR have any suitable donors which would allow me to swap the adjusters over & rebuild my current headlights? thanks in advance andy

nice to hear of your purchase & glad you're happy :) look forward to seeing some pics

indeed m8. im not normally a fan of yellow cars but the T5-R with those grey flat six spoke alloys....mmmmm :) maybe once I get my Rottweiler cause it can chill in the back lol

I feel your pain fella. I recall similar when my head work / upgrades etc were all been done & by the professionals & I was paying very good money for it it was very painful experience, both in terms of financially & emotionally, with one persons poor workmanship & then chasing round weakest links of ailing parts due to renewing so many others fortunately Vince sorted his staff issue & then personally made sure he produced the result we both originally wanted it was a fair few months of being unhappy & a much inflated total cost compared to original budgets but I can reassure you that once you have the desired result & you're out on the road in it the wide smile will return within moments :D

sorry to hear more woes Jim :( though I will have a go at most jobs personally I believe there are some which are best left to the pro's with experience. it may pain the wallet but often results cheaper in the end hopefully you can regain your love for it once you have had your first few trips out in it after its back up & running m8

pity the volvo isn't a T5-R flavour mic ;) lol

no m8, that is only in ariba ariba ;)

im sure I have seen someone on here who had recently had theirs refurb'd, very nice it was too but I cant recall who sorry

ha ha ha chris that absolutely cracked me!!! PMSL

not completely sure sean maybe it distributes the signal/s to the immob / alarm siren / door controls etc
