    Phone for wife advice

    Thanks. Checked out the A34 and was very tempted. Seems a good phone for the money. Through my hunting for information I found a website called nanoreview, that was really helpful. Ended up with the Edge 40 Neo through unidays for £240. 12GB memory, 255GB storage, fast charging, waterproof ect...

    Phone for wife advice

    Hi all My wife needs a new phone, I own a Poco X3 pro and it's been excellent, still very fast etc after over 2 years. So ideally I'd like something in the £200 to £250 budget range that is going to last her a few years like mine has. Her usage is mainly browsing and the odd photograph. So...

    replacing fork springs advice.

    If you're fitting shorter springs I would be looking at a longer spacer to compensate the difference.

My next saga is whether I can repair our 2009 2.2 d4d Avensis estate....should know by next week though..then I have to decide whether to sell the Avensis or the Saab 9-5. Probably the...

    Car suggestions £4-5k

    Thanks for the suggestions, I did look into the FM ones, but decided on one that operates using the auxillary port instead, BTC480 to be exact. Bit more £, but hopefully will work well. Cheers

    Just need to work out the best way of getting my wife Bluetooth for her phone now. Seems parrot are obsolete these days? It's all sun visor kits or full stereo swaps.

    Car suggestions £4-5k

    Thought I'd update you all. Went for a little 2012 Honda Jazz 1.2 vtec in the end after lots and lots of searching. Wife finds it easy to drive and rather likes it, I'm surprised at the amount of space available inside a car with such a small footprint. It's not the most exciting option, but...

    Double honda suggestion! Cheers, Jazz might be a goer, will show the wife later and see what she thinks. Likewise the FRV. Any reason to discount the CRV?

    Saab 9-5 pre purchase info - rust

    You are right, maybe its just part and parcel of owning a Saab 95. I haven't ever repaired rust myself, but I am handy with tools and an engineer professionally. I guess I could attempt a repair myself, remove the liner, see what's what and attempt to grind out the damage myself. Appreciate...

    Saab 9-5 pre purchase info - rust

    Yeah it is the feeling I am currently having right now, we have agreed in principle on £3000, so certainly upper end of the market. But I am thinking of bottling it and calling him later to back out of the deal. £3k for a near immaculate car now that could look awful in 12 months time and be...

    370Z reliability?

    If it is anything like the 350z I will imagine it will be very good reliability wise. I had a 2007 HR 350z for a few years and ran it for about 20k miles. Aside the banana arms needing replacing around 40k miles it didn't need anything. I don't know if they changed the design for the 370z...

    Hi all, Looking for some advice before I potentially purchase a 2009 Saab 9-5 1.9Tid, that I viewed this week, absolutely beautiful I have to say, very well maintained, immaculate interior and very clean exterior, it did have some issues, a couple of spots of rust. We have currently come to a...

    Tyres for fast road use

    I did 2 novice track days and near 8k miles on a set of pilot road 2s on my ZX7R, not once did they slip or do anything unpredictable. They were my first 2 track days, knee down on every corner, if that's not good enough for the road I don't know what is. Plus the fact pilot road tyres will...

    Tyres for fast road use

    Sport touring rubber ftw, anyone who believes they need sporty rubber for the road is a weekend warrior or doesn't touch a wet road. Even weekend warriors will find value in ST rubber, people think they are better than they are. You don't need track rubber for the road Sport touring rubber is...

    Handing my bike back

    I've just bought a bike from a guy who had it fianced. We discussed it in depth before I came to pick it up, he sent me a photo of his settlement letter and how much was owed, I bank transfered the cost to settle his fiance directly to the finance company in front of him and took the bike home...
