Re: 3 hours to change the TCU Battery - Rip off?

What will you do if the battery change hasn’t fixed the issue? Use of ‘may’, ‘most likely’, ‘seems’, ‘might’, ‘could’ suggests many variables. The garage ‘may’ be factoring in a number of possible causes that will take time & correct diagnosis, following a logical fault-finding sequence. Hope th...

Re: PPF pre cut kits?

I’m just having some OEM side skirts fitted. As part of the job the sill panel covers & the lower wings are being painted too. Did look at PPF, to protect the new paint, but also think it’ll end up quite pricey for what it is. Normally no problem paying for work on my car but this could be an e...

Re: Do you find the F-Type generally noisy?

I forgot and used that stretch last week Darren to go to West Bridgeford, it was awful. I came home via the A60 and that's almost as bad. Drop the e Steve. The bourgeois residents of WB will be spitting in their Chai Latte 😂 Should be nice when completed though. The Nottingham to Newark stretch is ...

Re: Do you find the F-Type generally noisy?

Don’t find my car particularly road noisy, even with very narrow section tyres. I do avoid certain roads including a concrete section of A46 between Nottingham & Leicester, which is brutal. Even tractors avoid the potholes here. Currently undergoing full surface upgrade. Have never considered ro...

Re: Hi I'm a new member new to the search been looking for the one

Hello Dungo. Welcome to the forum. I’m in south Nottingham but have travelled to Elite & Performance Jags in Derby for a few years now. Very knowledgeable owner Dan. He’s a real enthusiast & owns a stunning XKR-S. They also MOT on site too. I always tie in my service/MOT together. Did use MG...

Re: Bought a car I thought I would never own.

Hello Andrew, Congratulations & welcome to the forum! Ours cars are very similar, although mine came as base model. You have great taste & imho have hit the sweet spot in colour, shape & model 😀 I owned quite a few Escorts in my late teens including this one… IMG_0112.jpeg IMG_0111.jpeg ...

Re: Calipers: before & after

tomosap - could you ask a local garage to remove/replace, as mono-uk did but send to BCS to refurb? These were my old calipers. I used the BCS same day service. The quality of finish was better than factory. Baring in mind these were the base grey calipers. BCS even sanded the casting marks away… IM...
