I use Megs deep crystal and gold class wax on my bean. Pics in the media section under Bean cleaning.....

As the sun has made an appearance gave the Bean a bit of a spring clean. Think it cleans up quite well. :cool:

I get about 10% better MPG on the premium stuff so it's better value for money than regular. The car also feels much more responsive.

Glacier white 200 cup with black wheels in the Apple Green service station on the A10 in Enfield. V Nice :D

rear discs and pads £160 paint and new decal for the gear insert £20 tax £215 cleaning stuff £50

Looks fantastic. Worth covering the street sign???? Never know who's looking with so many nice cars on/around the drive. :dapprove:

lol. The guy I bought my 182 from gave me the release keys he got from renault. ffs it is clearly two bits of bent wire coat hanger.

Can't beat it. Tax today and new discs/pads on the rear last week. Looks like the wait for Recaros will continue.

Are you gonna go round and piss on his strawberry's as well. :D

I believe that in order to avoid a massive payout in the USA Microsoft agreed to give a three year warranty for the 'red ring of death' fault. As long as when you call them you stick to the ''it's got the three red lights'' story they will ask you to send it back for repair. I'm on my third one...

No the one I saw was black. Wonder if there was a skyline meet near Cineworld last night then?

Think I saw the same skyline about 15 minutes later on the A406 towards Arnos Grove from the A10. Was sat next to me at the lights at Green Lanes and ended up showing someone in a Golf how acceleration should be done. (Although 100 meters later it was hard on the brakes to avoid the queue of...

Had them previously on a mini cooper and more recently on a 3 series at work. Unless the suspension is designed around them the ride is very hard for day to day driving. Most people on the BMW forum swap them for regular tyres as soon as they can.

I've used the iFrogz luxe for 12 months with no issues. Doesn't add too much bulk to the phone and comes with a screen protector. I found youtube a good source when getting hands on reviews of the different covers available.

Iphone on O2 has a different bolt on for internet. It's iphone specific and is £10 a month instead of the usual £7.50 they offer for other handsets. Best bet is to give them a call and ask WTF the charges are all about. Then claim you were misinformed by sales person re use of bolt on with...

IIRC you need to pull the end down past the stop then slide out. The rubber will have two metal strips that run in a channel on each side to keep it's shape. You then have to transfer the metal strips to your new rubber then refit by sliding back in. Hope that makes sense. Is a PITA to do TBH...

Have never done one myself but suspect you are going to need a bearing press to get the old one out and install the new one. If you have the press can't imagine it will be that difficult to do. IIRC the bearing is pressed into the brake drum and should pull off the stub axle quite easily as...

Yes

Technically 0mpg as i've only turned it over and not driven it since xmas eve. Getting a fraction under 40mpg from the S-Max at -4

Alpine ida-x305 + BT adapter. £350-£400

5mins and 15 seconds

Cheers YB As I said not 100% happy but it is far better than the worn original. Will see how it looks in the car.

Do you think I've been a bit too sparing with the clear. I gave it three thin coats. Is it OK to give it a thicker coat of clear or will it just make the finish worse.......

All finished and came out OK. Not totally happy with the finish on the clear coat and suspect it may be because the first coat was a bit too thin but it's a million times better than the original worn one. Picture of the finished article. Looks much darker in the picture than in the flesh...

Many years ago my wife owned a 1.2 clio five door. I would occasionally take it to work and on route found a fantastic wide roundabout that was ideal for a touch of lift off ovesteer. Over time I thought I'd fully mastered the art being able to induce a fantastic rear end slide followed by a...

Lucky cnut !!!!! :eek:

Think the Inferno is far better than the RB (which is why I own one) but having read a few posts on here I believe I may be in the minority. Don't dislike the RB but the stripes are pants. IMHO

Thanks Darren, Will post a pic of the finished article subject to me not f**king it up......

As per title recently got me a nice Inferno 182ff and am very happy with it apart from the gear stick insert that has worn to the point where at least a third of it is down to the base plastic. Think it really lets the otherwise mint interior down. Now I'm no painter but am happy to have a...
