  1. Gutted for you. I had this happen last year by the grace of god I didn’t bounce of a curb. Hopefully it’s not to bad to repair and replace
  2. I have multiple heating methods. first off is the oil boiler a new blue flame combi. I paired this with a tado system on all the rads. It will only fire to rads needing heat instead of all the rads. This has resulted in huge savings. I have a 7kw log burner in the living room. It’s so good it more or less heats the whole house. Wood is 60 quid a ton. Working with the tado my heating rarely comes in and when it does it’s just to heat a bedroom. All tados are set to 15 no higher. I also have two air source heat pumps. The bedroom one and living room one are set to come on an hour before up time. This warms it up before I light the fire. The heating hot water is about 1000 per year based on oil being 89p a ltr. In covid it went to 20p!!! my electric was 350 per quarter. Everything in the house is hue bulbs on timers and scheduled. I also invested in a heat pump tumble dryer and a rated appliances. next year I will look into solar and battery storage
  3. Very good condition but I won’t post it as the airbag thinking of swapping over to the 3 spoke type.
  4. 20k for a tt6? I have no idea on prices anymore. That said i will swap my supra for a holiday home in Florida. If it has a pool i will throw in a working ashtray
  5. Result! What plans do you have it looks near perfect
  6. I asked for 30k but have a mod list a mile long inc the twin turbo swap and full bpu 3k miles to.
  7. They wont touch me for less than 390. I dont know why maybe the engine swap? Apparently as soon as you go over 25k agreed they add 10%
  8. I just got lancaster down to 390. Flux 370 but want the security system certified
  9. Will you post them? If so I will take them please
  10. Mine came though today lancaster want 430! up 100 quid from last year. Time to shop around LV classic like mods?
  11. Not keen on doing burn outs at 42. to be fair I don’t think I’ve ever done one… my cars getting smoke tested a few days before it might be back. But as I said I will hard pass on the burn out
  12. So had an interesting one. My second turbo stopped working unless under heavy acceleration, when it did come in it would almost clunk and make back pressure exhaust pops. needless to say two loads of this and it was off road until I found the issue as I didn’t want to stress tubby 1. my first thoughts where vsv or hose but nothing was off. I searched here and found the following “Just to add to this incase it helps anybody else. When I bought my supra a couple of years ago off an old boy who didn’t really push it the second turbo wasn’t coming online. I replace as many vacuum pipes as I could at the time and still had the same issue and I think as mentioned above I gave the EBCV valve some lube and manual movement and it boosted perfectly from then on” so i attempted to find and move the offending part. Needless to say it didn’t want to move. Consulted @Mike2JZand @mwilkinson got the small flat pry bar and spayed it down. It was very crusty but soon was moving free to the point I could move it by hand. Took her out and it was working perfectly. will leave this here incase anyone else has the same issue.
  13. I will take this if Homer passes

    Tax question

    Without sounding stupid. If one was to say need to gift money for a thing. IE a car or something material. Could you not just give them the car or item?
  15. WOuld you sell and post just the levoc?
  16. Lol 10 year bump! everything looks good will Let you know when it rains. I don’t think I had had a god down pour since I put em in
  17. All fixed up. will really have to paint them all soon as one looking like that is offending me.
  18. Toyota don’t care one bit they where forced to do this when Nissan started.
  19. Can we clean this up. At the end of the day we are lucky to able to even get these parts, Getting a list of them is a good idea regardless of price.
  20. This chap over on facebook seems to be doing great stuff regrading ball joints and ECUS I have not used him but the feedback all seems good. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1219289411779688/
  21. Investigation of my slightly warm wheel has turned up a sticky brake on the rear. The piston isn’t playing ball. so I ordered this and it turned up a day later will fix it next week
  22. You talking to someone that took a dremel to his wings and bonnet. Only to then blend his body kit on and lose the rear bumper seam. Stock is over rated............
  23. My son is able to claim a mobility car and they have added the Kona electric to the list. With the price of fuel im seriously thinking of ditching the xtrail and taking the offer. £20 for 300 miles?
  24. 15 quid and i will just keep em as spares to save the bin. I probably should take a look at my plugs soon anyway. Let me know what postage is on top
