The limiters – dubbed Intelligent Speed Assistance, or ISA – use traffic-sign-recognition cameras and/or GPS data to determine the maximum permitted speed in a particular area, automatically limiting engine power and a vehicle’s speed to the prevailing limit.
Crazy
So now, i am driving in a 30mph zone and i see kids playng, riding bike or old folk etc i slow down to 20mph.
So when the govement take over my throttle. i hold then it flat to the floor everywhere for my whole journey and never breaking a speed limit
awesome every roundabout, corner and junction sideways 
Perhaps Top Gears Chris Harris or Matt le Blanc could show them they possible pitfalls

Just being an old cynic, and one that can drive ( and parallel park even!) using my eyes, limbs and a feel for the car and road conditions.
1)No leaner driver in last 20 years has been taught how to overtake a car unless on dual carrageway !!!!!
2) They keep slowing down NSP areas to 40 & 50mph, longer double whites and speed cameras on log straights.
3) big fat dual urban carriageways change speed every 100mtr to 50, 30, 50, 40, 60, 30, 50mph etc
4) Yet twisty B roads with car cutting trees on every corner & big fat heavy tractors are still 60mph.
And they wonder why there are accidents

I will keep updating. As a matter of interest, for years, I have placed stand alone motor and home legal expenses covers via MEM Insurance Brokers at half the cost of including within the primary policy covers. The MEM cover also includes legal expenses for persuing pothole damage compensation - potentially very useful!
legal protection is a useful but under used part of any insurance cover

Thanks for the reply, trying to do as much research as possible before going for one, been looking out for standard ones, not a great deal of them out there but will keep looking, will also look out for the struts, seen a good example last week but it had quite a bit of blue smoke which put me off
all good advice.
check oil & water
check engine light, airbag and abs lights must be on with ign and go off once started. treat Any ￡10 fix comment with pinch of salt. if that cheap would already been fixed
1. test cold start up, rattles and smoke.
2. test drive 10 to 20 test hot start smoke
3. slowly drive full lock to lock in 1st and reverse, clunking jumping
4. check oil n water again
5. look for an anal enthusiasts car
also agree Johns post the WRX 2.5ltr not a Big issue

I was fb friends with Chris and followed his brave battle with cancer
Rosie his daughter kindly posted details of the service and I felt I had to pay my respects
Cheers Phil Glad you made it ?
Sadly I FB has been nightmare the last 4 years and cut down notifications. So lost contact after he left SIDC. So didn’t know he was even ill .
I only found out he’d passed away in some random conversation.
I really feel for Rosie, and Jackie and they also lost his mum few weeks after. .

On another subject, I recall an insurer accepting a list of mods on a widetrack STI but then declining because I had fitted a big brake kit. Bonkers...
My company covered me for 10 years for big exhaust , big power, big brakes JDMs even on track but wouldn’t cover a new 2011 320R but cover a new 2011 Sti.
Bonkers
use kieth Micheals
2x Scoobs = 800+bhp total £800 ?

Hey friends, I would really welcome any serious thoughts or comments to my post on Friday!!! Thanks. Are you there Don?
After my experience they dont understand or deal with suspension or performance issues. I will NEVER use a Desler again I will always use a specialist
I not surprised dealer incorrectly fitted suspension or guessed the wrong fault.
I doubt they will redress all your losses.

My T30 was tracked from 1000 miles to 21000. My average service mileage was 1,100 miles
so under 10p a mile for oil and filter.

to be honest ￡20 or ￡100 for 5ltr its peanuts compared with a cheap ￡5,000 engine rebuild.

By using your knob you are also disconnecting the alarm.........
true.. But alarm doesn,t work if your battery if Flat either
i have same disconnect.
after 10 days connected battery flat wont start. 14 days battery dead as dodo .
disconnected after 6 weeks car started perfect

best option i found for grip. bear in mind i run sport # 99.999% 10 seconds after starting engine.
get rid of big wide tyres. 4 space savers woulg be ideal
1. put it in "i" mode and DCCD one dash back from fully locked and put traction off
or
2. Put in sport #, dccd fully back, traction both off. but ensure both side windows are clear. let 370bhp kill or cure

i would love to 60mph in NSL zone but some old codger (im nearly 64yr) is doing 44mph in a 40, 50 or 60 zone and all 2 cars behind are nose to tail and need a 20 mile straight to overtake. Then baseball cap spotty 19yr tries to overtake all 3 cars on double whites on a blind creast. lucky idiot got away with it.
so a max of 112 or 155mph WTF
