Yeah! Everyone who knows the story is quite envious. From what I've heard he never drives it, except for shows and stuff/

A rather broad brush statement. However, how long ago did you contact them and which ones?

Sorry reading it back I realise I should of put more info... I'm looking at buying a 1275GT & I wanted to find some info on as its been off the road a while & the model on the v5 is blank. So I found the 1275gt register and contacted them. Was about a week ago now. I just wondered how long I should wait, as I haven't bought it yet and was hoping they could confirm its all genuine. I'm probably just being impatient because I'm excited :)

Looks that way! Did the other one get finished in the end? I don't remember seeing a conclusion.

Do we have any TMF official stickers. Fancy putting one in the Astra, with my forum name, if possible. :) It will be my daily driver in June, and would like people to know I'm in the 'mini community'.

Been fine and my daily then all of a sudden has died and cant find the fault
Apr 16 2015 12:53 PM -

Mine ran great for ages then died - turned out to be the coil, after changing it I then switched it over to non-ballasted and changed to another coil (just after some advice on here) and at the moment she is running great (just reaching out to touch wood!!!) :-) Some of the pinned items on here are a great help - but dont be afraid to ask in Problems, 99% of the guys will help you no matter how dumb the questions seem (I have asked a good few dumb ones!!)

No mri yet, as all my gp keeps putting it down to ‘muscle weakness’, ‘my weight’ and being under 30 (only just) and to rest and take painkillers. But whenever my back does decide to play up, it’s a really sharp pain at the base of my spine on my left side with the muscle spasms if I move wrong. With pain down my left leg and numbness and pins and needles up from my foot. Also regardless of the back pain, I can’t sit or drive for longer than about 20 mins be...

I even started swimming, even though it did mean having to learn with varying degreases of success. But even that isn’t pain free. As I tend to get a rather sharp pain in my back when either floating/swimming face down trying to keep my legs up and from the kicking itself. Which is rater off putting if I’m on my own and find myself out of my depth. But even that’s been fobbed off as ‘muscle weaknesses and ‘kicking too much’

Hmmm.. I'm no doctor but that sounds very like nerve pain to me, likely from something pressing on a nerve like a herniated disc. Poor you, sounds terrible. Push them for an mri, at least then you will know a bit more.
