[quote="NehalX5"] I believe this may have been down to the tyres being low pressure, but this seems to have happened on the NSR tyre. I have a picture of the OSR picture as well. Does this warrant replacement, as thread is showing, but the tread is fine and not unevenly worn on both sides. The ...

[quote="scaffolder"] Does anyone know if the metallic interior trim panels are available individually, rather than buying a full kit ? The wife has managed to pull the nsr trim off, then stood on it :blink: [/quote] Pulled it off? They are bolted on. (Door trims are) Which part do you mean exactly ...

Not especially, more for those reading in the future - you have an enlightened insurer

I was surprised they were happy to insure me, but most of my other things in life are insured with them, our pets, home and others cars etc.

[quote="X5Sport"] Check the maximum torque that the gearbox can take before you do it though. Exceed it at your peril.

Mine was replaced under the QE "recall" 2010 plate 40D

Im with Direct Line and it worked out £50 extra. They have a remap % rule, if you get remap greater than 26% of the cars original power they will not insure you, I think it was 26%. Either way they were happy to insure me.

[quote="PokenH00D"] Let us know the result. I've heard it's pretty awesome ;) [/quote] Remap done! The car was booked in with Jason at BWchiptuning to have at least 50bhp and 50lbs torque added. The results so far....pickup from 20mph is rapid for a two tonne truck! I took some timings before and ...

Afternoon all, just a note to say Hello
