    VED Levy WTF!!

    We'll need hard hats and umbrellas if the amount of rubbish thrown out of cars doesn't improve. I don't fancy being bombed by a bottle of lorry driver's Lucozade.

    Tyre shop takes my xpower for a burn after balance

    There used to be a garage called Peter Smith Sports Cars in Hatton, Derbyshire who were Lotus and TVR specialists. A number of years ago one of the young mechanics took a customer's Lotus for a short test drive to check whatever problem it had had been fixed. I was returning home along the A38...

    VIBRATION ISSUE - hot off the press!

    The tyres might have had flat spots from sitting still during transportation and with you driving the car they've disappeared.

    Sunroof

    Sorry to destroy your dreams but the roof is magnetic so unless it's a new form of see through metal peeling the wrap/paint off isn't going to give you a panoramic roof.

    Latest software update

    I had mine serviced last week and they didn't update the infotainment software. I'm still on r23. I wonder if they have stopped updating the infotainment software as there is a new "improved" version of r59 coming out and they don't want to pay the dealers twice for doing the update.

    I did it at about that age to a 1300 Marina de-luxe in baby diarrhoea brown or Laguina Beige as BL named it.

    X Power Vibes Fix?

    Another vote for Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber spayed onto a microfibre cloth for the internal plastics. I run my tyres at 2.6 bar and at the first service all the tyres had the same amount of tread across their width so despite the pothole ridden roads the tracking is still spot on.

    X Power Vibes Fix?

    All I can think of is that the tyres had a flat spot from storage and increasing the pressure removed it. It would be interesting if after a few hundred miles you put them back down to the recommended pressures if the vibrations returned. If we're comparing defects... Thyroid non functional Dry...

    X Power Vibes Fix?

    Just a word of caution. I did something similar on my Ford Focus. I increased the tyre pressures by a few psi as I was driving to Brittany for a fortnights holiday and had a boot full of luggage. After a couple of days I could hear a feint hum from the rear and thought one of the wheel bearings...

    Collected today - bitter sweet experience

    The only other place I can find a date is on a sticker underneath the rear parcel shelf which is within a few days of the date on the C of C. It's probably the date it was inspected when delivered to the assembly line.
