  1. Evening peep's, So I've gone and got a 730Ld and as per the title it's got issues, most prominently the lack of function from the O/S/R door handles, both internal and external. Does anyone know how to get into the rear doors without damaging the door cards? Cheers in advance Ginger Tom

  7. Is the m sport suspension lower than the se suspension or is it just stiffer? Just fitted the 19" to the rear and I have rubbing issues when going over bumps, I don't want to lower my car just want the suspension stiffer so it doesn't rub
  8. I would say save your money, put what you would pay per month for the warranty into a savings account then use that if/when you need to for any repairs that your car ay need
  9. Yes mate, I've got 383! Good to see you on here!
  10. Can't do this I'm afraid, I'll be giving the 1er a beating round the Nuremberg-ring
  11. Mine are: 1. Ford GT90 2. TVR Speed 12 3. Capri 280 Brooklands 4. Ducati Desmosedici RR (I know it's not a car but my life won't be complete until I get one) 5. 1M Coupe orange
  12. The 118 is the most economical of the lot and as Gav says, £30 for road tax, the 120 is £100 for the year, and the 123 about £120 iirc. The 118 and 120 are single variable vain turbos but the 123 is a bi-turbo setup.
  13. Welcome along
  14. Cheers Mick, I'll remember that for my next build and clear all non essential item out of shot before I take the picture
  15. Tom Richardson my profile pic is of me and my niece and nephew
  16. HGV technician (diesel fitter to most but I can use computers :P ) and trying to start up my own business working on and building cars
  17. Chippy I understand where your coming from and understand your reservations. The problems I have at the moment are I'm doing this in my spare time as I have a main day job to support myself while I'm getting things moving and I have to share the garage where I can work with my old man and as such am limited for space, I am currently having my own dedicated garage built which I won't have to share and can properly organise my tools. Believe me I don't take offence as I believe any critisism is constructive and as I have explained above I have started to get a place that I will have to myself and one which I can keep organised. Thanks for your comments
