Unfortunately "current" prices would suggest about £1500-£1600 - think they've taken a hit lately in depreciation as you can get a T-Sport for £2k on an '03 these days according to the 'bay and auto trader. For some reason facelifts never seem to be worth more than pre-facelifts despite the differences

I bought an oil filter and oil from eurocarparts for about £30, the only extra you'd get for your £207 is an air filter and a general check up - if you're happy with the condition of the car I can't see that the £170 would be worth it and I doubt it'd add £170 to the value of the car. Thats my 2p's worth, but generally because I'm sufficiently qualified and know, as previously discussed, what main dealers are like from my younger days (i.e. the mechanics or 'techs' aren't OEM quality lol)

I'd rather participate in a group buy involving dipping one's man truncheon in an enthusiastic bowl of piranhas, more chance of something productive happening

That Edd China, tv's biggest pleb. Pretends to fix cars on Mike Brewer shows while someone else actually does the work - except for that time he restored the front of a capri with rattle cans...... I'm not too convinced by the product to be honest, a modern engine shouldn't be affected by carbon build up really anyway, I mean I've opened up lots of 100k mile plus zetec and ecotecs amongst other 'modern' engines and I've never seen anything I'd describe as carbon coking. I'd be more concerned about what this stuff does to the rest of the system (O2 sensors & cat) while its shredding its way 'clean burning' ?

I'm just over 6' and in a comfortable but still 'normal' driving position you'd struggle to get a fully-limbed person behind me :/

mine is quite consistent to be honest, from momentum using the same theory I've always had less mpg and BP is worse again. I think its the only car I've noticed where 98/99 RON actually improves efficiency

I've always noticed I get better running out of the car using V-Power over BP (which I'm sure stands for Bull Piss based on its usefulness as fuel) and Tesco Momentum... Anyway, my usual commute involves 8 miles or more of 30/40's and 20 miles or so of dual carriageway so 70ish (you get the jist, generally sensible but sometimes a little more adventurous but constant). Considering I've got a new standard system to fit (cat + back) because its been showing P0420 and the back box broke and is temporarily held by a Dr pepper can and juby clip (which is suprisingly good in at sealing and it doesn't blow at the mo) I've been driving a little more careful and made 2 trips this week avoiding the dual carriage. Anyway, I bought 14.20 litres of V Power when the last bar went. Wrote down the mileage. Last bar went on the way back from work just so pulled in and had to use momentum to top up. Starting mileage on the trip meter - 283.0 miles Mileage after the last bar went - 409.6 miles I make that just over 40mpg? Considering the circumstances thats pretty good. I'm sure I normally get 32-35mpg driving the same using 95RON (maybe a little extra using momentum).

I sympathise greatly with anyone which considers £2.95 a tight budget

There's a free version of torque but for £2.95 I elected to pay, after all someones worked hard making it and updates are free

As previous, they're for Smart Cars and Evilution is a brand/site for Smart Cars.

Its a Fuel additive/cleaner

Its repairable, think I paid around £60 a couple of years ago to have similar damage fixed to a wheel

and bhp is a function of engine speed so in general terms you're talking the equiv of 300-400bhp petrol engines really

I could tell you how to calculate it based on what I've done for my degree and/or what literature I have, but theres not much point as its all theoretical because the calculations don't take traffic or engine load into consideration, i.e. up hill, driving into strong winds blah blah. Light right foot = better economy, basically.

Its not specifically rev related but think about it like this... The lighter you press the accelerator, the less air will be flowing through the throttle body, and thus a smaller amount of fuel will be added. Simples

I'm starting to see why this notorious facebook photo was funny......................

So can be done

You could always have this for £405 from DVLA Good for a gen 7..

Only if the DVLA have passed the power over to the Police in that area, otherwise it will be the local authority. Beyond this, if neither is the case, it is a right reserved only for the DVLA.

Congrats on the feature, shame the spelling lets it down. Northwood or Norwood?
