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?

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...
