Hi. How much are these celica hyper sports mats worth. Good condition, tiny area of fray on one, at the edge.

Yeah. When a car is imported from Japan, the owner fills out form to register it. Form includes space for year of manufacture. That form is backed up by the English Translated Deregistration Certificate from Japan. The form SHOULD say the same year of manufacture as noted on the Dereg Cert. Some folks make a mistake, some folks blag it, some folks are just thick at filling in forms, sometimes the dvla make the mistake. Various reasons for year of manufacture being different from year of registration. I imported a 1990 Delica, filled out forms correctly, came back an X reg (year 2000). Can only assume the operator saw the zero at the end and gave it a 2000 registration. Queried the X reg at the desk when I collected the docs and tax disc. Got told it's done now and nothing can be done about it. Actually, you CAN have it changed but it is a more hassle and paperwork. There are some folks that de-register their Private Conveyances altogether, but that's a whole different kettle of herring altogether.

Had the conversion done on a Pajero a few years ago. Mobile aircon guy did it. Cost me, iirc, about £90 and took about two hours. Basically they empty the system, test for leaks, chuck in some kind of protective oil substance and fill it with new gas. Worked fine. New gas in old system is apparently ok, it'll work, but without the proper conversion and sealing with oil, it can degrade the seals in the system,so I was told and researched.

No mate, downloading maps and programming cars is way above my pay grade. Car was running rough, took it to The Garage in Wishaw ( recognised experts in their field ) who diagnosed faulty MAF. Got them one, they got it fitted and mapped the car. They then called me laughing - "that little car's a total hoot to drive". It was, upgraded everything. Best about it was it went through auction and no-one but me knew what it was - a well modded MX5 Eunos roadster. By 'eck I made some dosh on that one.

I had one in a turbo Eunos roadster. Got it mapped and car was very lovely.

Strange that we don't know if there is a legal dB limit. When I used to go to rallies, scrutineering guys measured every car. Some stages are on roads, so I have always thought that the rally cars had to comply with some noise law. If what the cop said were true, rally cars couldn't have stages on roads.

Carrick for me as well. Apart from that last time. Still to take them back.
