Re: Exige S2 flat battery

Actually, that’s nonsense isn’t it? If the negative terminal was knocked of when attaching the charger the alarm wouldn’t have been able to be set and the battery would be fine after. That’s how the isolator switch which is fitted works and the battery was fine after being stored in a lock up with n...

Re: Exige S2 flat battery

Battery was flat. Battery was replaced last spring, I wonder if the terminal wasn’t put on tightly enough (there’s also a battery isolator on the negative terminal) and the act of attaching the trickle charger has disturbed it enough so that it wasn’t making contact and therefor not charging. Of cou...

What type of headlight bulbs- Exige S2

Anyone know off the top of their heads what type of bulbs are needed for dipped beam on a Nov 2006 Toyota engined Exige? Searching online throws up either H1 or H7 for dipped (with one place I found suggesting that it changed from H1 to H7 in 2007) but I'm struggling to find a definitive answer. I k...

Re: Exige S2 flat battery

Just to updtae this in case anyone searches in the future.... Took the front panel off and tried to charge from the posts under there but couldn't get it going, even with a jumper pack. Was left with no other option but to attempt to *ahem* 'gain access' to the car and pop the engine cover. Unfortun...

Re: My Ombudsman case

Not surprised that this refers to Peter Vardy. They seem like a shower of shady characters in my experience. My cousin had his BMW in there a few years back for a replacement engine (drove through a bigger puddle than he thought it was...). The car had been off the road for about three months by the...

Re: New garage door - any supplier recommendations?

I have used Garage Door Services Fife in the past- based in Dunfermline or thereabouts. Really friendly and helpful guys- previous owner of my house had used them to reduce the size of the central pillar and fit two new (larger) doors. They only had one car though so he only put an electric opener o...

Exige S2 flat battery

Tucked the S2 Exige away before winter with the trickle charger on..... but I assume the croc clips have jumped off the battery terminals as battery is now so flat that the immobiliser light is not even on anymore. I have another charger so plan is to remove the front access panel and charge up from...

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

All right smarty pants 😜 I think I might give cross-climates (or similar) a shot as my winter tyres and keep more summer biased ones for the warmer months, as suggested by the video I posted above. Seems like that could be the optimum set up for our climate. If I didn’t have the winter wheels I thin...

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

Campbell, are you using the cross-climates as winters or all year round? Which car are they on?

Good to know I’m not the only one JJ.

Agreed Campbell, it’d be typical to change then and have a dump of snow the following week 🙄

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

Thanks gents, I just can’t remember the winters feeling this horrible even in spring when the temps are getting regularly up to 10C which is when I normally change them back. Agree with the chat regarding all-seasons though. When the winters need replaced I think I’ll get some all-seasons and run a ...

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

Bit of a thread resurrection..... Anyone really struggling on their winter tyres this year? It’s been unusually mild this winter I think and both my cars feel vague and horrible and inspire no confidence on roundabouts never mind anything more spirited. The wife came home tonight complaining that he...

Re: One last sports car, for your retirement..

Easy- Cayman or Boxster (depending on if you like the roof on or off). Very few people are still willing (and able!) to climb into and out of a Lotus at 60+, never mind put up with the noise and harshness. Nothing can touch a small Porsche for the useability/specialness/sportiness blend. That's what...
