    Yay!!! Got my DC5 after waiting for over a month!

    It's not quite a beast, but I do quite like the little car, and I love the fuel economy for the commute. Unfortunately it will probably be a few years before I get anything fun to drive again :( Seeing as my wife is not going back to work until our youngest goes school in 3 years. So for now...

    Yay!!! Got my DC5 after waiting for over a month!

    Glad you are happy Jim, and once again sorry for delay. Basically we started changing plate from DC5 to my wifes new car a few weeks before I sold it to Jim. Due to DVLA being immensely slow we had to start from beginning 2 weeks after initially sending documents due to V5 changing for my...

    what are dc5's like to live with?

    Hi and welcome, I have had mine for just over 2 years now, have took it on annual holidays with our first kid, and use it from time to time with both our kids now. It is a very good all round car. Loads of space in it, and very comfortable for longer journeys. I currently do 500+ miles a...

    Looks like I will be selling the DC5 :(

    Right then the parts are coming off next weekend, and the car will be back to standard (except for the wheels). Unfortunately for some vultures, a few of the parts are already taken by a friend of mine (Kpro, RBC and Toda). So the only bits left will be the wing, kakimoto exhaust, mugen strut...

    Don't worry you haven't missed it yet. If it does go up for sale, I will post the price and let all those who have shown an interest know. Just going to go research the cost for individual mods now. Thanks Mark

    Looks like I will be selling the DC5 :(

    Yep I know it will make me a bit more money that way, it's just waying up the time and money to change things back. The vultures are already circling ;) Thanks Mark

    Looks like I will be selling the DC5 :(

    I will get a few pictures sorted for you tonight. I am going to try and sell the car as is for 1 week as I have someone interested at the minute. If I can get an ok price for it without having to take everything off then great. If not, then I will get it booked in to TGM to put it back to...

    Looks like I will be selling the DC5 :(

    Thanks for the information people. It is a shame that I am selling as it has been a brilliant car, but it will be nice (for my wife at least) to spend a few years having quality time with the kids. I think I will get the mods off ASAP and get it up for sale. I just need to find the time to...

    Looks like I will be selling the DC5 :(

    After discussing things with my wife (who has just been made redundant), I am thinking now is the time to get our finances sorted. She is taking 3 years off work to look after the kids whilst they are young, so we are both selling our cars (she has a VRS). I do about 106 miles a day to get to...

    Silicone Induction hose

    I have no idea as to whether or not it can withstand more pressure. The OEM one is just prone to splitting open due to its design and certain weak points. I bought my Samco one from the following Ebay member 'amberper'. It took a while to arrive as it is ordered from manufacturer but it...

    Running a Teg with a baby

    As mentioned above, the DC5 is a very useable car for the family. Have had ours for 2 years now. I have a 5 year old and 9 month old baby, an whilst at the moment we mainly use the VRS as the family car, we do sometimes go out in the Teg as a family with no problems. The Teg was our family...
