9/10 times, if the outer arch is rusting, the inner arch was long gone. If it is genuinely a prep issue, and it is just the outer gone due to a paint issue, then fair enough, but that's very rarely the case. What suspension setup is it running? Coilies up front and individualised hydros at the...

Rear arch = f**ked. This shell will be toast in a couple of months without some proper welding. If you've gone to the effort to drop that kind of block in it, you could atleast extend the rear sunroof drainage pipes. Why rover thought them finishing inside the rear arch skins was a good idea...

My headlight pump works, the jets are so clogged with crap they won't spray though. not long replaced my washer bottle (may have left 100% water in it over winter - doh!) so tested the pumps at the same time.

Peak power is the maximum power the sub will take before it goes bang. usually it will only take this figure for 0.5 of a second and then number gets stamped on it. Makes a 150w sub look awesome if you can slap 1200w on the box.

I've got a set of standard lights that have just had a de-hazing treatment if your interested? Have been after a set of xenons for mine for a while. (previous owner swapped them to standard)

I was a little pissed off at the time, places to go, running late etc. My mate thought it was funniest thing he'd seen all year. looking back on it does bring a smile to my face.

I made scrambled eggs once with a metro. Rad had a small leak, so went for the trusty egg fix. Turned out the mounting lug under the rad had snapped off and I had a 2p sized hole! Egg went it, round the engine, and out the bottom of the rad, scrambled as fook!

I've seen the repairs these truck mechanics do! Our company Volvo 7.5t once had a hold in the block repaired with fibreglass! Got over 15,000 miles from it before it died. (died from another issue, not the fibreglass)

This. Legally they have 1 week (I think, might be less) to report the incident to their insurance company. failure to do so can result in a proper bumming if it gets chased up. Teach them the hard way.

yea, turned over for 4-5 seconds then cut, key out, key in, turns for 5 seconds, cut.

Also to note from OP. Mine cut out whilst driving, been good as gold for 200 miles that day. Parked up for 5 mins maybe, jumped back in, did 600 yards, cut and refused to start. It was giving all sorts of errors, uncoded keys, immobiliser issues, injector problems.

TBH, the price breakdown on the invoice is fair (sort of) once you take the time to find the fault into consideration. Was more pissed I didn't spot it myself before though, as the bill was something like: £80 - Clip diagnostics scan £70 - Hours labour £14 - earth strap + VAT Its just the fact...

earth strap in passenger wheel arch. Happened to me, Renault robbed me £200 to fix a 10 inch strip of wire :dead:

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. I've probably missed something, but...... Didn't you say earlier on your mate was regional manager? Was he demoted overnight? Also, we've gone from 75k change, to a 72k change, to a 70k change? Nice to see you can keep your story inline.

Morning after pill??

Fair cop, I'd offer a hand but I'm away working just outside Farnham this weekend (puts me 21 days straight without a day off!) Little bit of a trek to either Station in Canterbury really then.

I'd take it on as a project, not for that price though

push bike? That's my current method (although tbf I'm 300 metres from train station at my end, and 5 minute cycle at the other) Where in Canterbury?

I live in a block, 6 floors up and used to carry the buckets down. We have an underground car park and after some talking to the other residents we've had a hose point and communal electricity point installed (ftw) Our spaces are laid out in 2's with a pillar every 2 spaces, which is a result...

this mornings update, new photo.... more bullshit adverts! [/I]

Never opened up a slim one, carried out surgery on about 12 of the old fat ones. never seen that problem though. usually they stay on but do f all so you can go into diagnostic mode. dont know if its the same on the slims, but on the old ones pressing the eject button and wireless link buttom...

i'm very fond of the Z-s, particularly in red, but it's the ad that threw me

This doozy has just popped up on my FB timeline in a for sale group! didn't know there was an ST in that shape?
