Originally supplied new on the car in September 2015, remaining on the car until November 2018 (approx. 18,000 miles) when it was replaced by an aftermarket exhaust. Has been mounted on the wall of a clean and dry garage ever since. £200 Collection from Epsom, Surrey.

Fully refurbished and not been back on car since refurbishment - immaculate condition. Original TPMS also fitted - wheels were originally supplied new with the car back in September 2015 with the TPMS. £800. Collection from Epsom, Surrey

Just had 7 year service (car has done a total of 30k miles now) at a main dealer, but they also called up to say the following: - New rear pads and discs required (despite only doing 750 miles since last service, which was carried out at a different main dealer last year and everything was all...

Presume you mean the diff oil parts (not SC parts, which sadly aren't listed on the invoice although they are listed on JTB00356 which Tel posted a copy of earlier)...and if so, here you go - prices are ex. VAT. EDIT: I should stress this is for the V6 only, which has a mechanical LSD. I...

I took out the extended warranty last year for about £800 when the manufacturer warranty ended, and subsequently needed it to fix an electrical gremlin that would have cost me £1500 otherwise (replacement ECU for the rear parking/traffic sensors which took them about 2 weeks to diagnose and...

Just checked my 4th service and it had "N/A" against the diff oil change. So I've double-checked the official service schedule for my V6S from Topix and there's no mention of a diff oil change anywhere...where are you guys seeing that it is officially required in the 4th service? Attached the...

The results are in. It was a 90 min drive back from DAE and my cheeks were hurting by the end, cos I smiled like a loon the whole way back :) Fuel economy wasn't great either as I did the motorway section in 6th rather than 8th, just because it sounds so damned good. I'm chuffed with the...

Was at David Appleby Engineering today to get a Velocity AP cat-back exhaust fitted, and these bad boys were across the workshop (DAE maintain them for the race team).

Here they are on mine. I admit I'm not the most observant but I'd be surprised if anyone could tell the 1.2% difference!

No not my car, fortunately, but my friend has just had his Range Rover stolen overnight via relay theft. If you have keyless entry on your car, please please please don't keep your keys anywhere near the front of the house where scumbags can 'access' the wireless signal. Personally I use a...

The only fly in the ointment there is I'm picking up my shiny new Focus RS tomorrow, so in the interests of putting the miles on that quickly in order to get to the point where I can really go for it, the poor little Jag is likely to be feeling a bit lonely for the next couple of weeks :lol...

Hi all, For those that are running this tyre on 19" wheels, what size have you gone for on the front? The original Pirellis are 245/40 but Michelin only do a 245 in either a 35 or 30.

A little side-by-side of old vs. new rear lenses if anyone is interested - was trying to decide myself if I prefer the new ones or not, but still undecided...

Just got my car back after getting the Meridian audio bulletin applied (JTB00537v2), and I'm delighted to say that I'm finally much happier with the sound quality.<br /><br />It's not going to win any awards, granted, but it's a significant improvement to the boomy rubbish I was getting before...

Lolololol, not really. Somebody call the Bad Taste Police, these people need locking up.<div><br></div><div><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/600/DSC_3226L_zpsttatjvlr.jpg" height="465" width="700" border="0" /><br></div><div><br></div><div><div...
