    GS Headlight problem

    My main beam headlights have stopped working, full beam is fine as are all the other lights. It has been suggested that the stalk unit is faulty so I have ordered a new one from Eurospares - anyone come across this fault before?

    Top Gear Live this Thursday - spare ticket

    I have a spare ticket (free) for the Top Gear Live show this Thursday at the Excel Centre. 2 were given to my brother by the Top Gear Live team as he provides cars for the show, but he is now unable to go. As it's ver short notice my usual cronies are unable to go so rather than see it go to...

    MG-X-Power SV

    Interesting to read about the Maserati involvement with this car - wonder how much it will be? http://www.eclecticcars.co.uk/2011/11/mg-x-power-1-sv/

    London to Brighton Veteran run

    Went to Staplefield in Sussex this morning to catch the Veterans' run. As well as the 'old crocks' there are huge numbers of classic/exotic/etc cars out following the same route. Staplefield village green was heaving with MGs, Morgans, Rileys even a couple of old Bugattis, hundreds of cars...

    New clutch needed

    Just returned from my 31k service at Mike Roberts - no problems at all apart from the clutch showing 96% wear!! It had been playing up and with the PIS point reading 5.2 it's definitely an accurate reading. Mike recommended Meridien Modena as doing a good job and being well priced at £2.5k...

    Cleaning Tech Cloth

    Greed got the better of me and one mars bar later I realised that I had a large chocolate stain on the driver's seat! Before I attempt to clean it has anyone successful experience of tackling stains on tech cloth?

    Janet and John

    Found this in school today - thought we thrown out any non-fiction older than 10 years - this was published in 1965! Oh for the days when engines looked like this - some classic diagrams inside too - learn how a car works in 30 minutes!

    5 beeps!

    About 10 seconds after I switch the ignition on 5 regular beeps come from the rear of the car - am I correct in assuming this is confirming F1 pump operating correctly or is there a darker side to the beeps!?

    What's this - again!

    Found this in the 'well' which takes the bonnet hinge. Black plastic, very light, cannot see anything obvious that it has come off. Obviously not critical to the smooth running of the GS but.......... would be very impressed if someone can identify what it is!

    4200 Straight through pipes

    These have only been used for a couple of weeks until my GS impulse buy! They were fabricated for my 2003 4200 and sounded awesome. On offer for £250 plus postage if needed - they are only light so won't cost much for delivery if you cannot pick them up.

    4200 wheels

    Before I put these on ebay - anyone interested at £650? The wheels are in perfect condition with no marks or damage. The front tyres are worn on the inside but rest of tread ok, one of the rears is virtually new with the other having a reasonable amount of tread on. Michelin Pilots 18s...

    Becker SD Card

    Just realised that there is a SD card slot in the GS Becker unit - is it a straightforward operation ie. plays mp3/4 music or other files types, will it read a SDHC too?

    What's this?

    Found in my GS wallet - black plastic - bit smaller than a credit card - expect it's really obvious!!

    Wheels - what shall I ask?

    These were on my car for precisely 2 weeks before the Red mist came down! I have put the original wheels back onto the 4200 for the new buyer and now have this set surplus to requirements - they have Pilot Sports all round but the front pair are worn on the outside - the rears have good tread...

    Newbie - again!

    Now i have a Gransport (2005) I'm going to start asking newbie questions again! Valved exhaust - doesn't sound any different when sport is engaged - either it's stuck shut or stuck open (sounds tame though). How different/loud should valves open be? Sat Nav - no disk - anyone have a back...
