Thank you bro.
Myself I have the MOT here even if I skipped it 7 years....if I hold it more I could make a record...
Lol I could have my pipes replaced indeed but the next buyer may not appreciate.
I got my steering bar happy with it very convenient to use, it pops out when you introduce the key and is well protected for the leather, but they can cut your steering wheel and pass that . I saw a video of the wheel block and it's much safer.
Will redo my oil change in November when the cold kicks in it's when the bad oil can affect your engine...i got wheels lock nuts too since day 1

I am planning to buy a polisher those moving you know, not sure what product I should get. Anyway

I tried the Connolly product it's so sticky, I won't use it inside instead I use the leather in the bottle brand, it's the best. Zaino. If you never tried it you ll never changed after. It snell better than a brand new leather interior car. It boost the leather smell peeps get in start breathing like hey what s going on it's fabulous stuff.like you enter. 50k sqft leather mall.

Will order my third bottle in 10 years

 

"Will the check engine light come on after installing an X-pipe that replaces the secondary catalytic converters?"

 

No, they won't.

 

Thx for help

 

I couldn't agree more with topic starter: I recently installed my DIY X-pipe on my DB9 but in my mid-pipe section (see picture). Reason being that I bought Stuart's (VAP) secondary CAT delete pipes around 10 years ago. They've been on since and I didn’t want to cut into them.

Around 2 years ago I also "emptied" my primary cats. Living in a country now (Cyprus) where there is no stringent CO/emissions check when the MOT's are done I decided to empty my primary cats to avoid potential ingress due to misfire's. Ever since the car has had an angry growl (nice!) however this also came with a droning sound at certain RPM's since the only 'muffler-effect' was done by it's back box.

Now, with the X-pipe installed its a more crisper note when you're going thru the rev range, a bit quieter on start-up, and [I guess the psychological effect :-)] feels quicker when running it thru the rev-range. Its surely not a flat-plane-crank-high-pitched noise but most definitely more pleasing to the ears!
