    What do you get on the 200 gold renewal pack

    I wasn't expecting anything (other than the forum access) as I didn't RTFM, so was pleasantly surprised when my pack turned up this week :D

    Cambridgeshire specialists?

    :thumbup: thanks. Harlow is do-able, particularly with a few bits to do. And I'd much rather have someone who knows what they're doing sort the geo than the average tyre place.

    Ford have been running some really cheap lease deals on the Fiesta which won't have hurt sales (it's also bloody good to drive!)

    Cambridgeshire specialists?

    Are there any good Indy's around Cambs? Preferably Ely/Huntingdon/Chatteris, although Cambridge itself would do. I've seen mentions of TdF, but no contact details and the only website I can find looks more like an up-market automotive consultancy/race outfit. I've got a few things to sort out...

    Annoying rattle

    I'm used to Lotus ownership FFS :d I'm intrigued so many people have the same problem but no-one has found a fix. At least it's comforting that I shouldn't be worrying too much about it. Next step is to get SWMBO to give the car a rev while I have a good poke around to try and narrow down...

    Annoying rattle

    I first noticed this halfway home from picking the car up, after an enthusiastic drive around Cirencester. Any ideas about likely culprits? You can hear it's worst around 2200 rpm. https://youtu.be/UZ-vEBiD_qc The rattle is worse when under load, and doesn't appear at all until the car has...

    Albi Blue F1

    Thanks all for the welcome. Loving the car so far. Aircon regas is tomorrow, new tyres going on thursday. Now I just have to hope the rattle that developed on the way home is a heat shield, rather than the exhaust/flexis/manifold blowing. Ho hum (resonates worst about 2500rpm, regardless of...

    431/500 Albi Blue

    And now it's mine :thumbup:. Clearly been cherished by Arron, and I'm looking forward to putting some more miles on it.

    Albi Blue F1

    Been looking for something to replace my 306 gti daily for a little while now. Started looking at 197s after giving up on finding a tidy 182 (and doing 15k a year, which I wouldn't want to put on a trophy). So after a /very/ long day yesterday, I got home with this: Pleasure to meet Arron -...
