the company im using is very good, and have always given me fantastic results, full bare metal refurb for all four wheels is £55 per wheel

Checked the oil and coolant levels and tyre pressures while I was waiting for my brother and his family to check out of the hotel, drove home from Bournemouth, filled the tank on the way and dropped my nephew off at East Croydon station.

You should be able to obtain the code from your dealer if not they should be able to tell you where you need to go to get it.

Hello - new here. Mine's a '56 plate ProDrive with 28k on the clock. Today I took the car to Berkshire and back from Essex. Yesterday I cleaned the OZ wheels to within an inch of their lives and wet-looked the tyres. On my trip, average 52mph and max 93.7mph. She doesn't use much oil (maybe 0.5 litres for 1200 miles?) and so far is - touch wood - more or less problem free with the exception of the following since buying used from Drake and Fletcher in Tunbridge Wells:

- Wheel balance
- Coolant reservoir replaced under warranty
- Rear right speaker replaced under warranty

Bye for now.
