Scottish Elises

I've got to echo the praise for MMC and Craig.I've just had a service completed at Murray and the customer service provided is second to none. I'm sure I could get the service done cheaper elsewhere, but I don't think the service could be any better, and it's worth the small difference in cost for t...

Yes but the axle stands are a lot cheaper. Anyway thanks for the advice

I'm going to be taking my car off the road for a little while and want to put it up on axel stands and get the wheels off. I've searched and found very helpful posts on where to place the axel stands but I can't find anything which tells me where to place the jack when placing the stands. I don't kn...

I want to echo the praise for Murray, especially Craig and Alan. My car recently had to have the rear clam resprayed, some wheels repaired, the central locking control unit replaced, and the windscreen replaced. Criag really went out of his way to provide a top notch service, and Alan came out to my...

Hi, you want to buy one with pre-set programme with varying times to wind your watches in both directions. Works like 10 mins right wind, 10 mins left wind, 60 mins rest, repeat again. You should be able to pick one up quite cheaply on ebay. Cheaper they are, more likely for them to brake earlier b...

You should ideally keep your automatics wound up at all times. They are rather like cars, if you don't run them they will cease up. If you are storing one, keep it in an auto-winder. I've got two automatic Omegas, a seamaster for day-to-day use and a DeVille for dress. I don't wear the DeVille all ...

I had a moment like that recently. I borrowed my wife's diesel mondeo for a trip down to North Wales. On the way back I got off the A74M at the A70 to head back to Livingston. Overtaking a car, I looked ahead saw a truck coming and thought no problem, I'll get past in time. Pulled out and foot down,...

So I went to collect my car today from MMC after they'd had it for 3 weeks to repair the paint blisters. Thanks to this thread I gave it a really good inspection, and just as well there was a fair number of little imperfections on the front clam. I probably wouldn't have spotted them if I hadn't bee...

This thread does not fill me with much joy as my car has been in to get some paintwork repaired for the last two and a half weeks. It had some micro blisters on the front clam under the headlight, and the rear at the wheel arch. They tried to fix the front before I picked up the car last year, and i...

Mine is in MMC right now getting some remedial work done on some micro blistering on the front clam just under the headlights, and on the rear clam at the wheel arch (It's not two years old yet). It had to have the same thing done in pretty much the same place on the front clam last January before I...

Has anyone experienced intermitent problems with the LEDs? My wife followed me home the other night and when we got home she told me that some of the LEDs were out. I looked and she was right, but when I went out tonight to check which ones were out they were all OK. Either the problem went away on ...

I got my first points in 13 years. Drove by a camera van in Livingston pisses me off as that stretch of road used to be a national speed limit for ever its dual carridge way for feks sake. and i cant remember any serious accident there and im local to that area and would have heard about it. Never ...

Most insurance companies do not add anything for the first speeding conviction, but will add for any second or subsequent ones. However some will load your premium from the first set, and some insurers will not provide any cover at all if there are any convictions. You do not need to inform them unt...

A couple of years ago I got caught doing 92 in a 50 (M80 stepps by-pass). I got 4 points and a £250 fine. I thought I got off quite lightly really. For me the whole experience was a bigger deterent than the points or fine. First I plead guilty by letter, but despite replying in plenty of time my let...

I wasn't in the Elise I was walking across to the car park to get in my boring car. I'm fairly sure it was an S1, but it was dark so I may have got that wrong.
