    2013 for me too mate. I'd double check the van thing though? Only applies to LGVs I believe, and according to this you should be able to tow a small trailer. Thanks Chris, really helpful detailed response! You are correct, the 3500kg confused me into thinking the actual laden weight but another snippet from the gov site confirms this: You can also tow heavier trailers if the total MAM of the vehicle and trailer is not more than 3,500kg So yeah probably wouldn't even be able to tow the empty trailer! Worth taking the test or hiring

    Thinking of starting to tow the Celica about as it's going to need a fair bit of work over the next few weeks and months. Totally new to this and wanted to check my understanding with my children's driving licence: If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997 and have an ordinary category B (car) licence, you can: Drive a vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes or 3,500kg MAM towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM Tow a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as the combined weight of the trailer and towing vehicle is no more than 3,500kg So with that in mind, hypotheticall

    On the Celica I have Advan AD08R's for summer use just put Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on the second set of wheels which are fantastic in wet and dry - really impressed. On my daily Astra the OEM tyres are these: https://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/brands/michelin/energy-saver Insane longevity, 42k miles and I'm just about to replace the fronts. Great all round grip, perfect for a sensibly driven car

    Hi spaff did u find out what was giving you problems when I met you at stonefly jap show you had concerns re new electrical item you had fitted Roy

      Hi Roy how's things? Not sure yet seems to be a fuel issue - in the process of changing fuel pump and rewiring to battery. Going to check all lines for pressure loss and go from there. Small chance it is an electrical gremlin too as injector pulse was a little bit wobbly but fingers crossed nothing else :)

    Ah that's a shame, I just assumed you'd be near Milton Keynes from your first post! Any pics of how yours look now?

    Can highly recommend Mint Alloys just outside of Luton if you're down this way Think I paid 312 for 4 17s, not the cheapest but did a lovely job a few years back with no sign of issues yet

    To be honest veilside kits pop up for sale very regularly and aren't that expensive brand new anyways (assuming the one you're looking at is also a replica) so it might just be worth holding off for the next one
  12. Spaff
    Shame mate, what's the replacement?
  13. Spaff
    Not that I can be bothered to read the comments of online news articles anymore (the world is a scary place) but I'd be interested to hear what the majority of the population i.e non car people have to say about this I'd imagine it's pretty well received?
  14. Spaff
    Oh man I think I've actually seen a video called that now you mention it. I'd forgotten that for a reason...

    2 screwdrivers and a hammer! For the future, K&N ones have a nut moulded in to the bottom of them
