Re: Buzzing on acceleration and grate on turning right

Does the buzzing sound like it’s coming from inside the car ?

Re: music via the sound system

HiFi in a car is always going to be pretty compromised especially in something like an Ftype with it's sporty noises. As far as I'm concerned it just needs to be loud enough and easy enough (ie Spotify via a cable and the apps). I appreciate I'm no audiophile, however I've done a lot of work for a c...

Re: Scuffed alloy

Thanks folks, I'm in cambridge. On closer inspection the damage is very slight so I have touched it up for the time being. I've had a quote from a mobile chap who will appear and mend it for £75 which I think is fair, I'll get it done at some point.

Re: Powder coat wheels

As an ex tvr owner I have experience of powder coating flaking off. I'd say it was down to poor prep and application though. Like most things if it's been done properly it should be fine.

V8 exhaust tip removal.

They are pretty grubby so I thought I’d take them off for a proper polish.

Before I do it the wrong way, any tips on how to remove them?

Thanks

Re: 2018 Plans

I thought I might give mine a wash at some point.

It's first le mans trip this year which I'm really looking forward to.

Re: Lister Thunder F-type

I agree it is nicer when ‘gt ing’ but when the ftype is being used with vigour then it would be better with a faster box. The set box in the gtr can handle a lot of power/torque with some simple mods. I know bmw have said that improvements in standard auto box technology will probably make dct obsol...
