That’s brilliant. I’m just under 200 with Churchill (I think). It’s the first time EVER I saw my premium go down and I never bothered to hunt around this time. Paid it and moved on Being an older git has SOME advantages. Just gets harder to get in and out the car though 😁

Coming from the world of Italian cars and the issues with subframes at times with those. How do the RCZ subs fare as far as rust goes? I assume they aren’t bad as you never really hear them mentioned but just thought I’d ask. I bought a used front one just in case anyway. But maybe I didn’t need...

I reckon I’ll change that out this year at some point. They aren’t expensive. I quite like a bit of preventative maintenance where I can.

The chain should go on and on if everything else has been maintained. And oil has been changed out and kept topped up. as your one shows. I’ve got my chain kit sitting if I decide it needs done. But I won’t be doing it while the original stays good. I’m only on 76k anyway. I reckon I can go...

If it’s got a full service history I wouldn’t worry too much. Check MOT history as well and you get some idea of what’s been replaced. Or might need to be. Same for any used car really.

It’s a bit of a squeeze. I gave up and took it round to my mechanic and he did it in two minutes. But he hasn’t got massive sausage fingers. 😜 Some cars are a real squeeze now. The RCZ is on that side at least.

Those would look great with that brown colour on the RCZ. Any darker colour really.

It’s just water vapour. Unless your coolant level is dropping then I wouldn’t worry too much. It’s colder now and more obvious but they all do it. Ive seen steam coming out from under the bonnet now and again after I’ve parked up if the roads have been wet. Alarming at first but nothing to worry...

I’ve used the Esso version since I got the car as that’s the only stuff local to me other than supermarket stuff which I haven’t ever used in any car I’ve owned

Mine seems to be pink but I’ve never changed it out. The garage has done that for me. Not sure what stuff he used. But it’s been in for a year with no issues

It’s a Topdon AD500. My old man has it just now. Found the empty box 🙄 seems to do enough without traipsing to a mechanic to plug it in and charge about the same as it cost me. I haven’t used it in anger yet. But everyone I know seems to have had a go with it

I’ve got a topdon500 something or other and it can. I got it for 85 quid. Everyone borrows it so i can’t confirm the version. Definitely 500..

Get some extra strengthening support welded on.

I had a noise like that but it was only when the engine hit about 3000rpm. It drove me nuts for a while until I realised a bit of that bendy heat shielding stuff hadn’t been moulded back round some wires and pipes on the left hand side of the turbo after I’d been mucking around with something...

Same.

I’d just get the wheels refurbished. Unless you hate them and want something totally different. In which case I’ve no idea. The coloured hoses are silicone. Ive got Forge ones. I got blue b cause they didn’t have a full set in any other colour. Or I’d have just got black. They aren’t fur looks...

Test stations being a part of the trade opens it up to that sort of thing. It’s a government rule that cars have to be declared roadworthy every year but they often leave it in the hands of folk attempting to make money one way or another. It would probably cost far too much to have standalone...

I don’t in a single thing about gearbox oil. I’d normally just leave it to the mechanic but I saw Pedro mentioned the total stuff so I got that. All gear oil seems to be quite expensive. I think I take just over 2litres and they helpfully sell the total one in 1.5 litre bottles 😐 your stuff...

I put total 75/80 in mine (200)when it eventually turned up from Autodoc

The white one looks decent. I’m not buying until we move house next year then I’ll have a garage with room for a few toys. Her indoors wants one anyway and will buy one the best one she can find then make me wash it
