    thanks mate unfortunately the correspodance with the property management was done over the phone so its on my word which i know in court wont mean anything got some photo's of the space in question this morning, hopefully that should go some way to defending my original position that i was unaware it was still part of the highway difficult part will be proving the car was garaged up until the end of '08 as otherwise they will try and get 3 years of tax out of me

    right thought i'd update this a bit... after several back and forths with the DVLA they had informed me that the area that the car was parked was infact part of the public highway, albeit poorly maintained and not marked as such.

    my aircon needs regassing, and i cant even remember the last time i tried to use it so thought well might as well get rid saves weight, gets rid of load of ugly stuff in the engine bay... so aside from disconnecting everything related what do i need to do? i'll need a different/shorter belt different rad? was getting one with built-in header anyway... what about blanking the switch on the sensor block? or just leave the plug there and delete the wire?

    another reason could be that if youre retaining the MAF (not going standalone) the MAF needs to be as far from the turbo intake as you can get it on the TIP, thats why a lot of people use stubby filters the BMC is quite a large unit

    i know this should be in the correct tech section, but its Yes or No so need a quick answer would mk3 VR stub axles bolt onto a mk1 caddy? its not for a brake swap but something else so is the bolt pattern for a VR stub axle the same as the caddy?

    i hear what people are saying about theft on site, and yeah it is a shame and shocking that it happens amongst a relatively small community, i dont think its limited to E38 show though. just there's more feedback for bad stuff, and that the show is very closely linked to the forum the bad word spreads pretty fast i personally think that the show's rapid growth has done it no favours, and you could predict year on year that with more and more people going for the friday and saturday 'mash-up' that obviously people were gonna start to go specifically to casue trouble, and with the knowledge the
