    P38A New project

    Cheers datatek will accept your offer. Please pm me with price and postage. ABS which I thought was a fault apparently stays on until over 5 mph. Airbags may need replacing as I know it’s been driven on its bump stops some distance. Vogue but no vogue. This appears to be fully specked. Memory...

    P38A Just bloody don’t. Stupid idea!

    Well I don’t expect stretch bolts at 40nm to be able to come undone from the factory!! 1 was actually missing and the other 5 weren’t even finger tight!! Why don’t people torque things up any more instead of just hanging a ratchet off things ??
