  1. I bet your actually doing less MPG, the MFA on mine both over-read, one by about 3MPG, the other by about 5MPG
  2. Love the "Big Healeys", pretty nippy for their time and getting expensive now
  3. Brilliant start to the new series, best motoring programme by a country mile
  4. I had a 2.2 JTS, direct injection 4 pot. The V6 is not the old V6, its based on a Holden V6 but extensively reworked, supposed to be a very good engine, the problem is that the old V6 was a GREAT engine
  5. That was the concept version but the actual thing is pretty damned close, just a pity it doesn't drive as well as it looks
  6. Absolutely stunning car, very good build quality, very refined but feels so big and heavy compared to the Rado, even makes the Bora feel like a lightweight. Reminds me of any Audi, great to have sat on your drive but not so great to drive
  7. Agree, having my injectors cleaned by JMR later this month, apparently makes a big difference to the car, mine must be pretty iffy after 115,000 miles
  8. Best person to speak to is Woody, his G60 was re-mapped by Ray West late last year, he is very happy with the results
  9. About £350-£400 for a standard rebuild, about £100-£150 more for a Stage 4 rebuild, G-Werks or JMR are the best bets, used JMR myself twice and top quality, G-Werks have a cast iron reputation as well
  10. Really fancying a G40 as a bit of a toy, been offered a FSH, totally standard one, two owners from new, 104,000 miles and apparently a real minter How much would you think its worth, I can get it for £2,350
  11. Got those on my Nugget, no negatives to them at all, mine sit on top of the plastic sills
  12. Could this please be locked, I don't come on to the forum to read posts that are rapidly degenerating into personal slanging matches, if people want to do this why can't it be done via PM - its not big and its not clever
  13. The road in the second picture down looks like fun, whereabouts in The Lakes was it
  14. Yes, ran an E46 320i Coupe for two years, not the worst car I have ever owned but without a doubt the worst ownership experience ever, car was not reliable, lots of niggling little things and dealers couldn't care less, was left with the feeling that I didn't matter as I was "only" a 3 series driver. Experience compounded by the work I have done with several BMW sites over the last twelve months - all displayed an unbelievable level of arrogance, summed by one particular site in Anglia last december "We don't need to follow up potential customers - we know EVERYBODY wants to drive a BMW therefore they will come to us" - I personally never want to be associated with a brand where the people who represent the brand display such attitudes
  15. BMW 1 Seies BMW 3 Series Compact BMW 3 Series BMW 5 Series BMW 6 Series BMW 7 Series BMW X3 BMW X5 BMW Z4 BMW Mini
  16. Friend of mine go a superb re-trim, all seats plus doorcards for £1200, top quality job with custom work done on the door cards - I think a benchmark figure is as pkripper says - £1k
  17. Front and rear door cards too. Thts fairly local to me and if she wants to do an interior as a dry run (and at a discount) I'd be interested
  18. Passat V6 4Motion estate - classy, discreet, quick and cheap, for 12k you could even get into a W8
  19. Reckon it will be popular with the Corsa / Saxo boys, when combined with blue LED washer jets and a bean can its bound to give them another 50BHP
  20. Must remember to try some when I'm next down in Milton Keynes http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/to ... 3&t=263364

    Nice...

    Those RS4 wheels really suit it, lovely restrained looking car
  22. You got a hell of a bargin there Woody. Mind you I got my own bargin this week.
  23. Rare to see a car that just looks so right - absolutely gorgeous
  24. Staying in Poole Saturday night, then off to West Sussex for a Club GTi meet on the Sunday lunchtime and then back home
  25. I'm starting out from home (Shropshire) and heading down to Poole
