MOT passed at lunchtime. The tester had to block one side of the exhaust with a cloth to get a good reading for the emissions. The 4.4 TDV8 emits virtually fresh air, I am going to write to the DVLA with this evidence and I expect an apology and...

Loving these warmer lighter evenings. Did a quick service on the RR last night, (Oil, Air, Pollen, Fuel filters). MOT today and then this weekend will be new discs and pads all round, parking brake shoes, rear shocks, transfer box and diff...

Went take some pics of that stashed p38 I been thinking about. Building next to it has either been hit by a lorry or exploded, all covered in police tape, p38 is gone it’s just a space of no grass with two drag marks. Take it she didn’t survive 🥲...

There is one of those newish MG SUV type things around here and the owner has bought all the individual letters to spell out M O R R I S G A R A G E S across the bonnet. That's a lot of letters, goes almost edge to edge across it.

It is and thank you. Build #280. Had it 9.5 years now, still good fun too.

You'll end up with a white border around the frits (that is the official name for the little dots that join the black and clear glass BTW) and it'll look garbage like all aftermarket tints (in my humble but unswerving opinion of course). Factory...

Depends what he's driving. If he's just bought an L405 the Series lot might not talk to him!

Absolutely amazing work sir. Hat off to you on this effort. Long may you enjoy it.

finally here we are! not yet 100% but in the meantime it's on the road!! now I've disconnected the air conditioning compressor because it started to make noise, when I have time I'll disassemble it, the fabric of the headliner still needs to be...

I just go with a decent set of pads and disks and keep the wheels clean (like hell I do) but then we mostly do longer drives with less braking so the brakes last longer where we are. I had to change the Volvo pads after 8yr because they rusted...

I'm planning on a bit of a friction refresh, front discs have a little lip on them, pads are about 1/3 left everything and looks tired so I reckon it's time for new discs, pads, parking brake shoes and a fluid change as well as a bit of a caliber...

Fix it. If you like the car, get a subframe and do it or get it done. I'm a firm believer in better the devil you know. Look seriously at the cost of this repair against the cost of changing the car, what will you get for yours? What faults...

There see, biscuit /cake thing☝️

In a bid to reduce my road tax and congestion charging bills, I've cleverly disguised the car as part of the Japanese Imperial Navy. Does anyone know how you get the diplomatic plates? eBay? Doesn't need to have the D dropped, I'm not that...

Possibly still on charge. Give them time 😬

Looks like it, people tend to disappear once their problem is 'resolved'. In this case it was either fixed or "fixed" as suggested in the first post :-)

Get yourself a set of fibre loops and start unplugging the units and bypassing them. If it starts working, that one is/was your weak link. Unless it's the amplifier I think, fairly sure nothing works without that but someone will be along to...

I was a bit cross at lunch when I saw an old Vauxhall Corsa in the electric parking bay at my local Sainsbury's at lunch time. I assumed it was there because it's right by the shop door and all the parent and disabled bays were occupied with...

I'd definitely be looking at the wiring harness to the sensor. There's a couple of inches of wire from the connector plug itself that isn't taped in the loom, the plastic coating gets brittle over time and cracks then you get moisture ingress...

I scanned through this and my advice would be to definitely not buy one based entirely on the responses from the OP. He's already decided it will be a nightmare so I don't see why you'd go into it like that. Hang on to your Subaru!

Hi mate I have a sdv6, with turbo issues started to remove in situation, but run across other issues so pulled motor in the end, but believe it can be done if by removing turbo, I watched a couple of YouTube vids where someone was doing this...

What are the codes that you got? I think you might be looking too deep into the issue here. We had similar on ours a few years back, it's not the always the sensor but quite often the wiring to it, there are repair kits available for that...

A friend of ours has a small issue with her D4 and it seems that the actuator is stuck. I've not worked on the turbos on our D4 (yet) so I'm wondering if any of you fine lot can offer any advice before I dismantle the wife's one to see what I'm...

I just fitted a 13 pin unit to the wife's D4, I bought it as "used but unopened" so effectively new and paid less than £80 for it. They are available new from around £120 -£130. I'd only use something like that on a late car and then code it so...

I had a couple of 530d E39s and they were both brilliant, only issue I had was a MAF on of them aside from that absolutely nothing. I will concede that the 530i was my favourite though, less torque, less fuel economy but far and away a better...

Went out last night delivering emergency blood supplies, another faultless drive and absolute pleasure to be out in.

It will if it rubs😜

Better get two! 16bar?? Moses Sandals that some serious pressure, about 240psi with my basic maths.

I think you can see what I am thinking but those horns take up a lot of space. There's just about room behind the fuel filter and above the chassis leg. Need to make up a bracket to attach the arm to the bulkhead. Compressor will sit inside the ring.

2.7PSI ain't gonna lift a bicycle let alone one of those :-) Not sure there's too much in it between the iCarSoft and Launch but it will depend on which ones of course. I've got a few different ones. The compressor should be running, I don't...
