Driving to work this morning on the A1(M), I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Merc doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that damn makeup!!! It scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my mobilephone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL!!!!!!! …

Hi Guys, Has anyone had the same problem as me with their rear reverse light cluster lens misting up with condensation?. I took the panel off yesterday but was unable to seperate the plastic from the perspex faceplate. After several attempts at trying to lever it off I decided it was better to wait & ask rather than Destroy-It-Yourself?!? Anyone ?? Cheers, Tony

This happens more when the roads are wet and less tread and over small bumps, is it just beacuse of the displacement of rubber on the tarmac? feels like shit cheers rob p.s. wish it had 4wd

I've seen this come up again and again. Mine had new front Nissan discx about 15k ago. Lately there's been a judder when check braking from high speed. Brake hard and it used to steady up. Then I did the tension rod bushes which were leaking. The judder definitely changed but it was still there at high speed. Eventually it got worse. Checked my discs again and found inner side on O/S had a rusty band on it. Figured bad pad contact - near worn out any way. So got new pads and a seal kit for calipers. Someone here said easy job - just pop the pistons with compressed air. I found on both calipers the 2 pistons on one side of each caliper had almost seized hence r…

After getting some scary looking pics of my Z from Peter, I'm glad to say he's sent me some that have cheered me up a bit Dave

Trying to get insurance at the mo. Rather expensive. it's all ok until i tell them what modifications i have. The exhaust, air filter and chip are bearable but when i say it has grooved discs they class it as a brake mod and dont want to know. Quotes from 725 - 2000. Tesco quoted first at 545, sounded good but thought i would shop around. Noone could even come close so phoned back to check details (bit too cheap), only to find they put it down as a uk spec with no mods. Went up to 1400! Crazy price. What is classed as an upgrade? Is it just things that make it more powerful or is it every little thing. Do i have to tell them it has a crack on the front valance or chip…
