Shame that.
Glad I managed to register mine from new on a private plate. Less hassle.

Yes the issue arises when the car i bought had a private plate on and my old car had my plate on lol
and it is that for that reason why we went the retention route.

Makes sense. Will be on the right plate soon enough though.

looks great!

Had the car just over 3 weeks now and have done just over 1000 miles.

I have just ordered 2 new rear tyres to match the front tyres and this coming Saturday i will be servicing the car.


Just got the paper work to send off to put my number plate on the car and then we are nearly there.


It should look something like this then.

Nearly there then.

I'd just get a set of decent looking wheels for it.

[DRC72]

I like the ones that it is sat on.

A bit of Dulux can easily update the look of any rims

Service done today @36011 miles also balanced the front wheels as I felt it slightly at 60 mph.

2 new rear tyres fitted Friday and I went will Bridgestone poteneza s001 to match the fronts.

Had a quick look into the front fog light issue and found I have no power at the fuse when the fuse is in, but when I take the fuse out I have battery voltage with the ignition on.

I will look at this at a later date as I never use front fog lights anyway.


Rear fog light cleaned out and drained of water.

What's the issue with the front fog lights?

You do know they only work when high beam is on?

Thanks for that info, it has saved me a lot of time.

I was not aware that the front fogs only worked on high beam/main beam.

So i can now confirm thanks to Tattooboy that my front fogs work.

Seems a strange way to have the front fog lights operating on high beam/main beam only.
