  1. not my business to pry, but it looks like you have two cars, any chance you could not use the F as much, i just think you may regret selling it down the line.
  2. The depth is quite shallow around 33cm the opening into the boot is 100 X 40 it then narrows inside the boot to 80 X 80
  3. My LC will go in for its 5 year service in October with less than 10k, by the time it gets to its 6 year service it will have around 12k, ridicules to think that you have to have the spark plugs changed with so little use.
  4. it sounds like they have hit the curb quite hard and blown a tyre, hence the odd tyre, i didn't think you could repair run flats either, possibly if you notice it flat and dont drive on it you may get away with a repair. its a shame that a car like that has not been particularly well looked after. it depends on the price, they should get the wheels and everything repaired before you buy it, unless your looking at a private buy, then you will need to allow for £700 for each wheel repair and for the rear bumper repair.
  5. These are not diamond cut wheels, and are a nightmare to get repaired, i believe that there are only a couple of places that can do them, when i looked into getting mine done it was around £700 to get it back to factory finish and they required the wheel for a good week, or they did a local repair which they said would look pretty invisible from 1 meter away for £150 ( not sure how long they needed the wheel for this )sorry i can't remember the company name, i think they were up north somewhere, i was going to have to send them the wheel I was lucky that my Local Dealership has a very good repair guy, I have used him for years, how he repaired it i dont know but he made a pretty good job, is it back to factory finish, no, but i think you would have to look very hard to see it. ( £95 ). top 2 photos are the damage, bottom 2 the refurbishment.
  6. my LC is every 10k, not sure why the convertible would be any different.
  7. I have the same problems at petrol pumps, even when i park right up against the pump is a large car, van,or truck parks at the pump opposite i sometime can't open the door far enough to get in.
  8. You're getting old Malcolm, I use my paddles every day, i hang a fluffy dice of each one.
  9. Yes Buff away XLZQ0062.mp4 GCCD3041.mp4
  10. I bought 2 of these, one for my daughter who has used it loads of times, started he and her friends cars every time, a bit on the pricy side but it car start a 9 ltr engine, ARTECK 900A Peak Car Jump Starter Up to 7 0L
  11. I would think so, I think they have tested most cars, they initially couldn't get it to work on the LC, but I let them have my car for half a day and they managed to sort it out.
  12. The problem with a Tracker is what you have just experienced, the car has already gone, which is why i decided to spend my money on preventing the theft from taking place in the first place, Ok so you fit a tracker to your GS-F, do you really want it back after it has been stolen?,
  13. Sorry you had your car stolen, but don’t let them stop you driving the car you love. Fit a Ghost alarm, £450.
  14. I drove one round the Ascari race track in Malaga as part of the RC-F promotion, but i am not a race car driver, and spent most of the time checking my mirror's and indicating . lol however when Isolde Holderield and Alexander Wurz were driving, the car spent most off the time sidewase. only had mine 2.5 years, the only issue i had was condensation in both headlight, which were replaced under warranty.
  15. For the first 20 years of driving i stayed with the same company, i think they treated you as a valued customer, but for the next 20 years i have changed to a different company every year, customer loyalty has gone and they don't even seem bothered if you stay or go.
  16. Dealer will change the pads, but mine still squeal, i spray some iron remover on the callipers every now and then and that helps, i think its just a build up of break bust on the pads. I think the latest up date is MM19, can take up to 2 hours to do some updates, with the engine running, so make sure you have enough fuel. Make sure it has had the re call for the fuel pump ( if needed ) and your petrol cap may stick and not open, there is a fix for that under warranty, its a big gob and will take all day. other than that, Enjoy.
  17. The only change i have noticed is that petrol has gone UP in price, i thought this fuel was supposed to be cheaper?.
  18. Depending on were about's it is on the bumper you may be able to get a smart repair done £150 ish. as for the bonnet there is not a lot you can do other than a full respray, most, if not all smart repair companies won't undertake a smart repair on a bonnet or any other large area, and a ceramic coating won't hide the stone chip, in fact ceramic coating is not designed to stop stone chips, other than Paint protection film, nothing will stop a stone traveling at 100mph from a car or lorry in front of you chipping your paint.
  19. I use Shell V power, no particular reason, i know its more expensive but then i only fill my car up 8 times a year
  20. The problem with a tracker is that your car has already been stolen, yes your probably get it back , but in what state I have a Ghost ll fitted on mine which means the car shouldn't be stolen in the first place.
  21. 1..normally between 10 - 15% depending if your dealership has signed up( check the gold membership page to see ) 2....that should be the total cost, but they may ask you if you want any extras done, which would be up to you to decide ( for example, brake fluid change ) 3.... they charge extra for a map update but should include a software update that may fix you issue. 4...yes plus what others have mentioned your get a free years warranty, which will give you piece of mind
  22. Interesting that when you turned the climate concierge off, the noise stopped, my question would be, why was the concierge system allowing the heating / cooling fans to run ALL the time, not sure what settings you had, but once the temperature you have set is reached the concierge system should turn off and only come back on if the temperature in the car goes around 5 degrees higher or lower than the temperature you have set, did you have it set on Auto.
  23. Yes Taxed and insured, i put myself as a named driver and used the car every now and then, if she hadn't had a car when she came home it would have meant a lot of taxi rides, or me running her around everywhere, and as i said she has now got 3 years no clams bonus so in a couple of years time when she buys a better car her insurance won't be sky high.
  24. My Daughter had the same problem, her car sat here for 3 years, she only used it a few time a year when she came home, clocked up 500 miles in 3 years, at least she clocked up 3 years no claim bonus as well
