How she stands for now, a few little things to do still.

Little update: I carried out a mini service was 10,000 miles since the last, consisting of oil filter, oil and air filter, plugs were done a month of so ago. I discovered yellow gunk under the oil filler cap, which I have been assured is most probably condensation, common for the 1.2 16v...

25 minutes on average. I'll just keep an eye on it, thanks for the help fellas

Every journey is 10-15 mile apart from weekends usually further

Is there anything I can do to make sure it's condensation? Or should I get a garage to check it over?

I know there is threads on this problem, however I just wanted to double check that it's not the HG. Am I correct in believing this is condensation build up? The car is run twice a day for a 10 mile run, mainly on A roads, you would think that would be long enough for it to warm up. I can't say...

I waited 2 weeks before putting them on again. The paint was hard enough and didn't chip

I've had a look through my eBay history for you and the seller was called 'autosounds_direct'. However from a quick browse I don't think they do plates anymore. Thanks pal. Spent a long time looking through your photos from the show, some lovely shots! Is photography a hobby or profession...

There are two clips either side of the centre section which have to be cut off. It will fit without doing this just it won't sit correctly.

I was distraught to find that my car was the highest on the cliosport.net stand at FCS. Therefore I've decided when the funds allow it to go for a cheap set of coilovers, which of course means spacers too and maybe the addition of a sports interior. Undecided whether to take the car to uni, it...

Good start mate, cup spoiler is a great addition. What plans do you have for the future? Also see you have the catwalk photo, are the parade lap ones up yet?

A lot of companies won't insure young drivers for mods. Haven't heard about the quinn thing before, worth an investigation.

If you're planning on modding at all try admiral. They allow mods at a reasonable price for a young driver. Also look into multi car insurance, I paid £900 as the main driver on my dads policy for the first year, it also still builds up no claims :)

Does anyone know if there was any pics on the parade laps? If so where or when will they be up? Would also likes to say thanks to everyone from the cs tent. It was my first show and the general spirit at the tent was ace. Shame I didn't get to chat to as many of you as i'd liked. Should be...

Sounds like i'll be buying myself a set then. Don't worry too much about more pictures, they are better than the Peugeot ones I have in currently! Cheers mate.

Like what you've done so far mate, keep it coming. What are the quality and fit of this mats like? They have been sat in my eBay watch list for over a month, just can't bring myself to spend £25 without seeing them.

I agree entirely mate. The three wheelers were definitely my favourite. All the others are too curvy for me, they looked bad ass without any of the bodywork on!

Finish college apart from exams, so had some time on my hands to do some detailing. She is all ready for FCS this weekend. Here is a list of the products and methods I used: Washed - Autoglym shampoo conditioner De tar - Autoglym tar remover De Iron - Iron x Clayed - Dodo juice clay bar and...

Cheers man!

Thanks man, mine were stuck on pretty well, seems the lettering is slightly imprinted onto the paintwork, only noticeable if you study it though. Sounds good, ideal as the local halfords has some and 3for2 atm. Can you do the tyres with it too? You going to FCS?

A few changes since the last update. Bought a sub, cost me next to nothing of a mate who had it sitting in his garage. Sound quality is good, justing running it with sony xplod headunit and standard speakers. I also DIY re-furbed my scuffed alloys, I went of BMW sparkling graphite, which has...

I have just DIY re-furbed my 182 alloys, I used all Halfords paint and lacquer. How long do I need to wait before polishing and sealing? It's been a week since I sprayed the last coat of lacquer. Cheers.

Thought I'd share the pictures from my trip up to the Morgan factory in Malvern. I drove up this morning and found some nice windy B roads on route to have a play on, got to the place at 1 o'clock for a guided tour. Prices were reasonable considering the tour lasted 2 hours. Some properly wicked...

Thanks fellas

A high pitch screech, only happens when engines cold. It's not loud only noticeable if you know it's there and only recently developed. The noise lasts about 0.5 seconds. Anyone have any ideas or similar issue?

Are campervans allowed in the camping area?

Considering I had never used a compressor to paint before I played safe and went for rattle cans. The finish won't be perfect, but hey it's my first time, got to start somewhere. I've just applied a final coat of colour, attached is a pic of them drying. The colour is BMW sparkling graphite...
