Hi Chris,
I can only apologise if you were told 10-12 days as that was wrong. We're working on sending all orders out within approximately 2 weeks but a maximum of 3 weeks and this should have been explained to you at the show. All orders placed at the show are due back from the printers any...
Thanks John.
As explained, I was the official photographer for FCS this year and along with myself, I had two photographers working for me covering the event. Unfortunately, given the high number of images we took, it was impossible to display all photos at the event. However, following the...
If you want to stay with the main dealers, try Arnold Clarke in Warrington. I found them to be the cheapest and the most helpful in the area when I had my 182.
I've been insured with Flux for a few years but they'll be losing my business this month. I've now sold the 182 and bought a new car that's several insurance groups lower, yet they want to charge me more for the new car than I've been paying for the 182.
My cheapest quote is over £200...
All pics were taken with a Canon EOS 350D and the lenses used were a Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 and Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO DG Macro. The 17-70 is a decent lens which I'm just getting used to but the 70-300 is a budget lens which I've just replaced with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM and 1.4x...
Here are a couple of recent updates about what appears to be happening with TVR at the moment:

I believe production's ceased after the company went into administration. Apparently, the Russian guy's been allowed to buy TVR back and he has plans, along with 2 American backers, to restart production soon, either in the UK or Italy. That's the information I've read anyway so I guess we'll...
As I'm off work this week and was joined by two of my mates who were both also off work today, we decided to drive over to Blackpool for a change of scenery. Whilst there we decided to hunt down the old TVR factory to see what was left of the company and if there was anything interesting to see...
The wheels aren't the same. The 182 Sports had silver alloys and the Cup pack gave them anthracite coloured alloys. The Renaultsport brochure also said the tyres were different as I posted above.
You'll need a different steering rack too if you want to do it properly. The Cup suspension pack included the anthracite alloys, different tyres with stiffer side walls, uprated quicker steering rack and uprated lower suspension.
I know how you feel. Lost one of my tyres to a pot hole a few days before Christmas. Luckily, the alloy was untouched but I could've done without having to replace what was previously a perfectly good tyre a few days before Christmas.
You've got to tell them about all mods on your car. As you've said, the quote you've been given specifies that the car cannot have any mods to increase top speed, acceleration or performance. It could well be that they can't insure your car with the mods you have, therefore if you don't tell...
The SE K800i has the best quality camera of any phone on the market at present. It's also a really good phone with lots of other features. For a 3g phone it's also not that big and has really good battery life.
I can't remember exactly I'm afraid as it was about 15 months ago when I fitted mine. However, once you've removed enough of the plastic trim from around the bottom of the gear lever you can see the floor of the chasis. There are several screws fixing (if I remember correctly) the gear linkage...
Looking at your first picture it's a bit difficult to say whether or not you've found a sufficient place to earth it, but from what I can see I'm not sure that it is. Have a look where I originally suggested. Mine is earthed at a fixing point to the chasis, surrounding where the gear lever is...
My Pioneer headunit has a power feed for the Ipod adapter so I used that when fitting mine. As for the earth, I used one of the fixing points surrounding the gear lever. You need to pull all the covering away but there are plenty of suitable points under there.
I've been with Orange for about 10 years and whilst I used to find them really good, I've had nothing but trouble since the moment I upgraded 5 months ago. Since then, I've been plagued with faults on the network, billing discrepencies and rude customer service staff when trying to get the...
Mine started with exactly the same problem yesterday. Cruise control stops working first and then not long after the traction control and service lights come on. It hapened every time I used the car yesterday (4 times) although I'm not sure if the brake lights stopped working. I'll keep an...
