My headlining is exactly the same, not got around to doing anything about it. Seriously tempted to just strip the foam and paint it black. Would that not increase the cabin noise quite a lot? I would have thought headlining plays a big part in it. I’d imagine it’s part of the whole sound deadening ...

Harry, I have seen your steering wheel - I'm still trying to work out if I love it or hate it...😀 It’s mine and I feel the same 😄 It was a spare, the trim pieces come out ( have seen them colour coded from the factory on some individual trim cars ) and I had some cloth offcuts so thought I’d give i...

Hmm. I guess you’d still need to do the same thing, removing the sticky gunk, if you wanted paint to stick / not be all lumpy. You’d have to do something, but I’d think the solvents in the paint might mix with the residue and not affect it too much, would be easy enough to test a small area without...

They all do to some extent, this is the worst of the four I’ve owned, the mega mile four door the least saggy. For something that just has to be presentable rather than pretty, yep some satin black paint would do the job and never have to worry about it coming off again. A wire brush was the easiest...

Have been finishing my equaliser install. Trying to keep everything hidden isn’t easy. Control box is nicely tucked in the space a passenger airbag would go if it had one 😂 Also removed these horrible chrome sill covers which had started corroding and going lumpy. https://i.imgur.com/Bf6dNue.jpeg Sw...

100mm wider than my x5

A bit concerning really. Would be more understandable if it was doing 40k a year up and down the country, but there can’t be that many conventional cars needing £6k of engine work at 30k and under 4 years old. I know people will say but it’s cutting edge new technology etc, but come on, electric mot...

I saw an in the wild photo of one yesterday for the first time, if it wasn’t for the mini badge I never would have guessed it was a mini. Even then I thought it was a random Chinese thing with a badge stuck on.

Always seemed like a silly Micky mouse bit added on to increase the lap length of the standalone circuit anyway. Hadn’t even noticed they didn’t use it when running the full setup.

Well, your 1er is based on e90 running gear which was the newer bigger 3 series after the e46 so not a massive surprise

If people aren’t using the spaces because their cars won’t fit then they won’t loose money anyway. I can remember for as long as I’ve been driving a couple of multi stories having odd little spaces in corners or end of rows you could only get a very small car in, as long as you didn’t have a passeng...

Yes, I always thought you couldn’t claim unless the pothole was known about, they can’t reasonably be expected to inspect every single road on a daily basis. But once reported should be repaired in a reasonable time. Www.fixmystreet.com Put a point on the map and report the problem. They automatical...

Weirdly on my commute they repaired a foot square section of road where the top inch or so of surface had broken away, and the damaged drain surround I reported, but not the massive pothole 1/4 mile away I reported at the same time which is about 8 inches deep and spewing out rocks, which someone ha...

An actual propshaft coupling / donut / guibo / flex disk / whatever you want to call it

Propshaft donut turned up so today I stuck the propshaft back on, the cleaned up brackets, the repaired heat shields, attached the exhaust with nuts and bolts. I had to make a new bracket which holds the exhaust downpipe to the gearbox as the old one just fell to bits. Put the car on the ground and ...

I was going to mention that, I’m pretty sure it was a common mod on r33 skylines.

I’ve no idea how it would have worked on something like the P1, assume it was changed / updated somehow.

Quite possibly. And yes, would look much better if all four could be used as tails

There used to be some silly things, like lotus not being able to illuminate both rear lights each side as the box draw around the lamps included the bodywork inbetween which made them not bright enough for the total area. By illuminating just one the box was drawn around that single lamp which made ...

A bit too spendy for me

Ie, I followed a qashqai earlier. These are the rear lights,



How much of it was the brake lights?









This bit marked in green got brighter. Why so stingy with brake lights??
