Booked.

OK to go ahead and book it up ourselves, or does it all need to go through at the same time?

Yup spot on, if you ever see an MOT with "Undertray fitted" take it that this means they dont have stock CATs but it passed the test Plausible deniability etc.

Ditto, preference is August 3rd but if that's impossible for someone, 6th July is doable.

OK, should it be blocking me adding to cart if something (the pads linked above) is on Back Order, because that's what is currently happening?

How real time is the stock/backorder system? I only ask as what I was looking at went out of stock in the last 2 minutes after I cleared cache?

Yup, that got it. Flagged it to chat and they mentioned a lot of people have had the issue, I'll share your fix with them

There doesnt seem to be an add to cart option, somewhat problematic. https://www.part-box.com/product/ebc-yellow-stuff-brake-pads-dp4006r/

@Iceman Maybe don't necro a 3 year old post, especially not when you're wrong?

July or early August would be great for me, but I'm pretty flexable.

I'm game!

Yea, as Deacon said, 235 would be ideal, 225 would be stretched. 235/40 would be a -0.8%, chance in circumference, while a 235/45 would be +2.8% up to you which you go for really. https://tiresize.com/comparison/

Hi All. I did a search and this doesn't seem to be something that's been brought up. What's the worst car you have ever driven and why? I'll start with the tail of woe that is the Peugeot 2008. Had to get a rental car for work, not a problem. However the car provided was the aforementioned Peugeot 2008, this years model. It began when I went to shift into first and had the joy of experiencing changing gear with what is without a doubt the least precise gearbox ever. It was like changing through marshmallow, gates were unheard of. Other than moving the gearstick left and forwards, I couldn't tell you if I got 1st or 3rd, or a mix of the 2. Once the mystery gear was selected, it was off to find the bite point. I needn't have bothered it wasn't a point, it was just as vague as the gearshift, so it being a rental, I did what any self respecting person would do, pushed the accelerator and brought the pedal up with nary a care for the poor clutch, and with that we were..... kinda moving, off isn't the right word. I was pretty much straight onto the motorway, the slip road was the first point to really put my foot down, so I did, but we rapidly slowed down, I mean its a good thing I wasn't followed. The front wheel arch sticks so far into the pedal section that they have jammed the peddles rather close, and I hit both the brake and accelerator. (Pic attached) Lesson learned, be careful when accelerating. Once I got over the whiplash of my own stupidity and pressed the accelerator, I waited.... Then the turbo spun up and, OK, it went. nothing mind blowing, but we reached motorway speed before the end of the slip. There was then a long boring 2 hours of motorway, where I learned the car does NOT have a 6th gear to save my ears from the engine noise (it's not as nice as ours). Finally we reach the end of the motorway, nearly at our destination, I go to downshift to 4th as their is a bend coming up and what do you know, we rapidly decelerate on the off ramp after I hit the clutch and brake pedal together. When I finally got to my destination, I checked how much clearance I had when I depressed the brake pedal. Give or take 1 inch either side, which wouldn't be a problem other than the encroaching wheel arch on the accelerator and the encroaching footrest on the clutch meaning the foot is shifted in towards the brake when you need to fully depress either of them. But, for £44 for the day, it could have been worse? And that is the worst car I have ever driven, maybe I have been lucky, who knows

£100 per hour, 1 hour minimum. 2 person job. That's a bit of a piss take to say the least! You sure you cant rent a lift nearby for less and DIY?

It's saved me from the odd ticket thanks to people marking the police, but I mainly use it to avoid traffic. I've learned not to think I know better than the satnav when it directs me down the "wrong" route.

Single biggest issue with electric is weight... The smallest tesla pack at 85kwh is as much as half our entire car... Never mind the motor weight. (you do obviously get the gain of no engine)

Depends, if the family is already on an 80" TV without Sonos, its mod time! If they're watching the view out the window tuning into another episode of who's bin is it anyway, get the TV

The handling fee is for them taking the time out of their busy day to charge you all the other bits!

Stick VAT on that £546 and you're at £655, then postage, handling fee and import duties. You're looking at a very similar price to a UK supplier and potentially more depending on import duties. May not be worth it.....

Why didnt I think of that..... Make things easier at trackdays.

Happy to pickup Mod duties, used to mod some old Gaming forums, but not active elsewhere now. More than happy to dust off the old ban hammer.

Agreed, once this shits over it'd be good to meet up. I think there are a few other owners around the guildford/woking area that often to get togethers. Im probably not the best to ask about mods though, only done the TD header, Tires BBK and wheels to fit that. Money goes on trackdays and the tightening the nut behind the wheel

Welcome to the club Mani, hope you enjoy the car as much as the rest of us here! Suspect I'm one of the closer club members as I'm only out Feltham way myself. For nearby tracks, Silverstone, Brands, Bedford and Thruxton are all pretty much the same travel time ranging from 1:05 to 1:25 each way although it may be 5-10 mins more for you to get to the M25 than me Bedfords a good safe track simply due to the lack of things to hit! Highly recommend it!

Then I'll bow out and shut up 😊 If you're still understeery with that much changed that's a toughy.

I took the add front camber route, it's the only change I've made to the geometry. The cars great now, the push in high speed corners is gone, definitely more risk of a spin though.
