  1. Do you have a link. I could not see the Pro version, just one for £28 with a 2T lifting capacity. I guess we need a low profile version for a low car . TIA
  2. wow... I like buying direct. I think this will do the job and is low profile, load capacity is 0.8 Te
  3. Found this... just a bit worried about the support plinth Alca Germany Ultra Compact Quality Car Scissor Jack 0.8 Tonne Ton Vehicle Emergency Lifting Tool : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive Alloy Jack
  4. Funnily enough I was just thinking of the same thing. I have just added a wheel nut socket and 0-100NM torque wrench to my boot collection. Also interested in the VW jack
  5. Thanks that is interesting. It actually failed its VOSA SVR first time round allegedly because of a speedo calibration problem. I will, try and caprure video...
  6. John that is great and your blog is informative. I think I will find a way to capture video and take it back to dealer.Possibly easy stuff like earths first. Thanks for the PM opportunity.
  7. Yup... trying to work out how to video safely, I guess I take a passenger with a camera. Interesting about the reluctor ring. I had forgotten about that.
  8. Thanks, I was thinking of going that way...
  9. was having a few problems with the gauges on a new 420R firstly rev counter, going off dial and now speedo flicking. I guess as VDO gauges they are all stepper motor. Unfortunately I could not replicated fault at dealer. They also said they could not do a diagnostic, which I found as odd. while speaking to a fellow owner at Brands last week, they said there is a plug loosely strapped to the steering column which I found. I decided to do some more research and found this. OBD It looks like access is blocked. Any idea of path forward ? I understand that Luke Stevens can access maps for his rolling road work and he is local to me.
  10. Sensible offers for the set, would let individual plates go for a reasonable price. Currently on ebay, but would happy for them to go individually. Ideal for an enthusiast with a fleet of 3 cars. All plates on retention. PM me if interested
  11. Cheers looks like a common thread given the volume in the archives.
  12. Just picked up a new 420-R and noticed it was running at about 95 C at 70 on an an A-road. Does this Duratec have a different rated stat.
