  1. I agree too another satisfied customer.
  2. Went on the phone to Sky and got a discount for 6 months on my package. Going to stay there. Cheers All
  3. Thanks for all the info. think I'm gonna stay with Sky although I;ll give them a call and see what they offer.
  4. Just had a call from BT offering BT Vision. Free calls / broadband and TV via the router. All for £32 It sounds good but I would be interested in hearing from anybody who already has this service. I've currently got SKY+HD which is more expensive, but if I go to BT I'm tied in for 12 months. I want to know how good it is before I jump. Cheers
  5. There is a valid defence to a charge of driving without insurance if you can prove that the vehicle is not owned by you and that you are driving it in the course of your employment.
  6. Yes it was but I also got them to do me a new back box. Total of £380. I already had a snakehead downpipe so the sports cat waas fitted after the downpipe. Just cut into a straight section and fitted the cat in line. Passed the mot the same day. The rear box has been rerouted from the standard one with 90 degree bends, and now is a gentle curve. I find that it spools up much quicker. Apparently Andy Forrest has tested a car with the rear box modded like that and it produces an extra 20bhp. Certainly feels like it.
  7. £230 fitted. Meercat Exhausts. 01505 685235 http://www.meercat-exhausts.com/ I think they were Meercat before search engine. Stuck with it now though.
  8. Got much more of a burble now. Still not as loud as yours. Is that your flat up for sale again? Tommy
  9. Big thanks to Scott from Meercat. Paid a visit this morning for a sports cat to be fitted and talked myself into a back box as well. He hand built the box in about 2 hours from scratch. Sounds great and it passed the MOT test, this afternoon. Now got a prodrive backbox from my Hawkeye which will be for sale if anyones interested.
  10. I broke 2 HT splitters and the only suspension mod is prodrive springs(20mm). Looks good but I've left ot off cos it's£130/time
  11. Just had my geometry set up done my Seditas in Prestwick. Settings based on Duncan's at Hypertech. Also had Toyo Proxes fitted. Different car.... handles like on rails.
  12. I got mine direct from Andy F. Still had to fit it though.
  13. I've got a VF34 on mine and then mapped by Andy. About 325bhp. Awesome accelaration. Ditto the red thingy-is it just painted or a new part. would look good on my black Hawkeye.
  14. I've just got a Nokia 5800 and try to make a WLAN connection via my sky router. I can find the network and the am required to enter shared network key which I have done. I've double checked and it is correct(case sensitive I believe). When I try to connect it says "invalid key" Any ideas.
  15. Pulled in to a field gateway and onto what I thought was long grass. Wrong! Result -splitter gubbed. That's the second one. It did seem to break easily. HT autos hard plastic. Anybody else using something a bit more rugged.
  16. Just a wee update. Now got the elbow fitted. Throttle response seems much better and smoother. It might be imagination but I think I'm getting slightly better fuel consumption. On the con side, since the part was coming from US I was billed £14 extra from the carrier for customs handling.
  17. I've got the anti lift kit, rear drop links and 24mm rear bar. ALK requires geometry set up. Best mod by far was rear anti roll bar. Makes turn in much better and car feels much more planted.
  18. Hats off to S & S. Went back in today to see them about the rattle and they saw to it straight away. Poorly seated spring. Now fixed and noise free----for the moment.
  19. I think the insurance are bang on the money with this one. She should count herself lucky you're offering her anything. Good on your daughter for being honest.
  20. I thought that would be the case. Considering taking it throught to Duncan at Hypertech. His settings aren't as aggresive.
  21. Just had all 4 replaced by S&S under warranty on my Hawkeye(56). The geometry was set to the Prodrive fast road settings. Feels well planted apart froma rattle from front offside which I'll get them to check. I'm a bit concerned that the camber settings might cause premature tyre wear. Does anybody know what the Prodrive settings are?
  22. Don't have an answer to that. I know that we get claims all the time, but I don't know whether they're successful. But then again a claim paid out isn't fixing the road! That said I would claim if I had to.
