Tosh link goes straight into the P6 for processing via it’s BURR BROWN DACS. The P6 then sends the analog signal to the speakers. The P6 does time ali ...

Re: Is it time to sell the petrol or diesel car and go electric
The real question that we need to ask is when are the governments going to allow the mass production of hydrogen powered vehicles? The next question should then be when are we going to get fission powered transport? The technology for both has been around since the 50’s............ Now where’s my tin ...

Re: HPI info
Unless you’re a experienced salvage buyer or vehicle engineer you are playing with fire. You are not going to know what you are buying and that is the brutal truth. When cars are categorised the damage is estimated the vehicle is not put on a jig and measured. Photos of damage and repairs carried o ...

Re: 335d XD Touring to Golf GTD DSG
The GTD is full of plastic, has poor drivability because of the torque, are the second most often stolen golf after the Golf R, dreadful dull steering coupled with very fragile gearboxes oh and did I mention loads of plastic. Don’t bet on VW servicing being cheaper than BMW’s either it’s German...... ...

Re: BMW Warranty
Full warranty is a must in my opinion remember the 40d could run near to £70k new. So considering that if you built the car from scratch the parts would cost you nearly double that and that’s without labour............. The navigation unit itself is over £6k if it goes, panoramic roof £4k, ele ...

I’m going to wait to do the door cards until I start my audio installation. Pictures will follow lat ...
