Its almost sacrilidgous(is that how you spell it) to ask this question - but what would you change about your Noble

1. have a flashing indicator light in the dash you can see
2. Have an air vent in the centre column
3. have a decent key for the car

I don't have one any more but tome down the full beam interior light a bit so it doesn't blind you!

I would change the following

1. Add a boot, maybe a small one in the front would do.
2. Improve the gear linkage. Reverse is a real pain and all gears a quite clunky.
3. Better Seats (probably not an issue to M400 owners)
4. Improve interior, doesn’t feel special
5. Reduce the tyre noise when cruising. Maybe by adding a bit more sound proofing.
6. Improve rear visibility.
7. Add some mirrors that don’t need adjusting every 3 yards.
8. Climate control. Current A/C is a bit naff.
9. Put the stereo in the central console.
10. Reduce heat in the cabin.
11. Leccy windows that go all the way down.
12. Move steering lock.

I do love the car though, honest.

Air vents in centre.

Steering colulm that goes up and down.

M400 seats in 3R's

Decent heater controls that work properly.

M400 gear linkage in 3R's

Thats about it then.

might be worth getting them checked for run out - you can do this with a DTI gauge and the wheels off

its possible the surface the disks sit on is not perfectly true

might be worth a go

Adrian, have you checked run out at the hub? I had two new hubs on mine as they had a small amount of run out that translated to a large amount at the disk. Cost me a f**king fortune in brakes before coming to the conclusion too!

the normal seatbelts for us short people cut into the side of my neck its better with the racing harness just takes longer to put on
also for me the seat could be a touch higher as ive got to get used to the width of the car its a job to see the nearside front

It's an M400 have you tried adjusting the seat? Mine's tilted up slightly, feels good.

It's easy'er to unbolt the whole assembly including runners, adjust and then put it back. dont forget to silicon over the bolts when finished.
