    Drivers door mirroe glass

    If you have the Chromatic type, unless you have money to burn, go for a standard one for £80 OE. The chromatic one was quoted to me as circa £870 + VAT and all it is is two pieces of glass sandwiched together and a small wire coming off it!!

    QP V creaking noise. Your experience please guys

    If it is anything like mine, it is the bottom wishbone ball joint that has failed. That will be £1k for a new wishbone as the ball joint is integral and can not be changed. Also, I found the replacement was different and so had to get a secondhand hub carrier and top wishbone........ still...

    164 meet in Germany 26 / 27 September

    Mine languishes in the garage in Bleadon - close to you Alfa Muppet! A late 2L on a P plate needing a respray. The rear sub frame looked really 'crispy' when I looked last week and so I worry that it wouldn't even pass an MOT.

    Automatic boot release and closing problem

    Has anybody else had a problem with the automatic operation (soft close and shut) of the boot. I have established that the mechanism works if power is applied to the terminals of the motor, but I cant seem to get it to work normally. I thought it was a bad connection in the connector block and...

    QP V upgrade TV receiver to Digital

    Hi everybody, Has anyone managed to get their TV receiver upgraded to digital? I have contacted a couple of suppliers but none can do the QPV. I was wondering if a caravan type unit (12V) could be used - but the wiring to the NIT doesn't look like it could easily be adapted. Ideas greatly...

    New Tyres for the QP

    Hi Zorros, That is probably the most reasoned and sensible advice possible. I tend to agree with you and just wanted to check that my quietly held opinion was right. It is all too easy to get wrapped up in hype and spend huge amounts of money on something that is not necessary - I would note...

    New Tyres for the QP

    Hi everybody, Has anybody got any reviews on the Kumho tyres? I know that I am probably going to be seen as a bit tight, but as I can get them for about £150 a corner instead of up to £350 for Michelin sports, added to the fact that the car is only used in the dry and occasionally, it does...
