I’m using MPS4S and I’m very happy with them.

Rory

Could you post some pictures of these in DRL and indicator modes please?

While waiting for the parts to fix the roof I have done some leather work (ooer) to the drivers bolster and handbrake, inspired by @iborguk

Colour lock kit seems to give good results?

Looking to try this, did you have to mask the pale stitching?

I had indeed misread it! How annoying.

If you are running halogens and convert to LEDs, it's (theoretically) an automatic MOT failure, as per this, slightly blunt notice. However, swapping between LED and halogens takes about 10 minutes per side when MOT time comes and Philips Ultinons make a great upgrade. Beware of any LEDs that consist of a cluster of smaller LED chips - you need a single point source at a very closely defined part of the lamp to avoid ruining the beam pattern and making everyone coming towards you hate you even more.

If I’ve read it right, that notice states that cars manufactured after 1986 will not be failed for LED bulbs as long as the beam/pattern is within tolerance.

And definitely use a good indy!

These big bills can be a shock but think about how long you’ve had the car and the total you’ve spent on maintenance. Bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the monthly figure 👍🏻.

New Michelin PS4S’s all round and then a lovely drive to Cotswolds for a bit of work next week.

Or could this "package of remedies" mean that "new customer" prices will go up?

I would imagine so, can’t see any company volunteering to reduce their revenue. Reduced renewals will be offset by less attractive offers for those who shop around.

I had an MGF back in 1997 and was rubbish then, I can’t imagine time has been kind to it!

Thanks Kev, I’ve got a 987 so it’s quite a bit more expensive. Good to know what to look for, so thanks again.

Cheers

Rory

If you could post the link Kev, that would be much appreciated.

I’ve got the same style wheels on my recently acquired 987.1, do you know if yours are Porsche or aftermarket?

Cheers

Rory

My 987.1 S feels as quick as anything I would want for UK roads. I previously had a BMW 340i which was fast but didn’t feel it!

Cheers

Rory

What a fabulous present to yourself, well done!! Great colour!

Cheers

Rory

I got a very good quote from Cotswold, worth a call.

You could offer to supply the parts so they could change the clutch/flywheel. Although if you are worried about the gearbox it might be best just to look for another car.

Cheers
