    Battery / Alternator Problems

    Try another dealer first, I had mine replaced after it wouldn't hold charge after 5 days or using the electrics for more than 30 minutes. New one is a 65ah fitted no question by my dealer (who has been picky about other issues)... this one has managed 17 days sitting on the drive with me walking past it (light greeting most days) and locking/unlocking a few times, still started first time.

    Low fuel warning light?

    Light comes on when there's about 10-11l of fuel left in the tank. (1/5th)

    Just like Nascar, only so much you can do turning left all the time.

    notifications not loading

    Only just found out notifications here play a sound by default, thought I had a flash advert open somewhere.

    A few noobish questions

    Out of the ones listed mine always felt better on Sainsburys with Esso not far behind (no scientific proof, just using a garage for a few weeks at a time), since remapping it's only ever had v-power. The gear indicator is a bit pants though, usually begging to shift into 6th at anything above 30.

    TSS CADWELL

    Many thanks for the support from Drivers' Club members who bought photos through the year. Was my first time covering track days rather than race spectating, depending on dates I'm hoping to cover next year too. If anyone is interested in a CD for the whole season that I've covered (2-6) send a PM. Got this winter to build the site properly (was thrown together quickly due to short notice) and streamline processes so photos can be up within a few days, spent far more than I've earned and had a few sleepless nights but I've enjoyed it and I hope I've managed to capture what you'd expect from such an event :)

    I only came in for mudflaps....

    At my local if you take it in every other week they stop doing the free vac, or get lazy and only vac half the car, never once had a video off them either. If I keep this one after the 3 years it'll go to one of the recommended venues on here.

    Provincial Grand Essex GT86 Brigade Meet

    I might have to give this a miss, still trying to catch up on last week and I need to re-sort the sprint photos as I didn't have the settings I needed on the laptop.

    There are quite a few in the area, but rarely see them :( .

    Northern Meet/Open Day @ Tuning Developments

    I'm sorry I wasn't able to make this, had a bit of a disasterous week/weekend and I hate putting my name down for events then not showing

    USB in the 86

    You can format using some programs up to 128gb fat32 but Windows (2000+) out of the box will only do 32gb.
  16. Yes we went back, so my car clock now says 6.30 because I haven't changed it instead of 5.30 when I leave work... darker.
  17. Switching back to GMT. It's dark now when leaving work. Leave us on +1

    USB in the 86

    If you drive your car for 2 hours a day, every day... that's 4 years of music only hearing each track once!

    Provincial Grand Essex GT86 Brigade Meet

    3 (1.1, is that cheating? I also has more Cosworth stickers so that must count too) Will see what I can do, should be able to fit this in after work.

    Supagard on a used car - worth it?

    Even Supagard's site says it's useless on an old car as the "damage" is done. Tells you all you need to know about that salesman if they think adding it to the car after this time against their own literature will help. http://www.supagard.co.uk/product-demos/paint-protection I'd rather pay someone else to apply a better brand of sealant rather than the swirl monkey from the dealer.

    Farewell Vulcan

    I'm close to Old Warden (Shuttleworth) and usually get a good show from near our house, going to risk a slightly closer car park to see if I can get a good photo.

    Petrol question

    Only fuels I've tried in my car over a few tanks: Shell VpowerSainsburys 97Esso 97Tesco 99Since remapping last year it's only ever had Vpower. Tesco 99 over a few tanks felt awful. I felt Sainsburys 97 ran a lot better than Esso 97.
