I do. Cheers for the generalisation.

Dont think that was me to be fair, but yes i use it on my own car. Sprayed up various mirrors and side mouldings using halfords mixed stuff and its a perfect match (although i do mix it myself) As far as lacquer goes, we do it in 300ml tins for £5.99. That will be enough for 2 mirrors...

Want an e36 an awful lot at the moment. This hasnt helped. Wheels set it off a treat.

Spray tins are now £13.99. The paint should be an exact match. We use the palini system which has a database of renault's own codes and a weighted formula to match, so its not just a guess or a match of a generic colour, it goes from the code itself. Its all down ot who mixes it really. Most...

halfords. It will need to be mixed as its not a stocked colour. A 100ml touch up pot is £9.99, if you want some in a pen with a finer brush and 'nib' head its an extra £3. You'll need to give them the colour code which is 647.

Really enjoyed spending an hour or so reading through every little detail on there. Fab.

Certainly wouldnt rent my own car out, but its a very clever idea for families with a car they use infrequently and people wanting some local transport on the cheap. Good idea all round imo.

Mad as a Mexican's chimney. Love it.

Really like that, perfect spec imo. Still bloody ugly round the chops though :rasp:

Anti-social, uncomfortable noise-box that makes me grin like a loon.

Just a quick one - looking at the gearbox, and the positioning of the drain plug and the filler cap (the butterfly plug) on the side of the box, it doesnt look like there will be anywhere near enough room for the 3.1 litres autodata tells me the JC5 needs. Does this have to be done with the car...

Love how he instantly gets back in the throttle.

Absolutely love that. Top work.

Had to have my cups centre bored out for exactly the same reason - vw fitment is 57.1 whereas clios are 60.1 From memory cost £20 for the set. Fit was absolutely perfect. As mentioned, tyres need to be removed beforehand

This was the at the Harewood house fathers day show today. Looked epic.

It seems shortshifters are something of an acquired taste. Personally, ive fitted them to both my mk1 valver and my ph1 172. Again personally, id say its easily one of the best mods ive made, the short precise throw is such a joy compared to the sloppy standard affair. I absolutely love the...

Live dangerously and make your own mind up.

yes. and yes. /Awaits people pissing and moaning about it killing the gearbox.

Cant believe i missed this. Some parts of it are a carbon copy of my road trip last year. The views of the furka pass trigger so many memories - we turned left and did the grimselpass instead. Loads of memories coming back from looking at those pictures. Awesome stuff.

How come you hear people talking about wiggling the wires to get the light to go off then? Confused now.

finally got round to trying to get rid of the serv and airbag light which have been on ever since i got the car. have some 3.3ohm resistors, and had a look at the boosh's guide but its ph2 only. This is what i have coming out from under the seats (on the car loom side of things) and so took to...

absolute insanity. Brilliant.

Throw it in the sea.

99% sure mine has no such thing EDIT Thinking about it mine has a pipe that pushes on in that place - cant remember where it goes to but i know its secure

hahaa yeh a pic would be great man, cant think of where it is and ive had the damn thing off a few times.

Cheers for the suggestions Russ. Aluco is coming over monday for a set of wheels so me and him can have a poke round then. On that note, does anyone know if the ICV's on fbw 182s can be interchanged with my cable ph1? Wheres this rubber grommet on the inlet you speak off Russ mate?

The bands solution is brilliant foxy, ill give that a try. And yes russ, its definately the ICV breather i was holing my finger over - not a sausage happened when i jammed it shut.

What i still dont understand is why the t/b is smooth as silk with the engine off, then jerky and sticky with it running.

c**k whistles.

Had the pipe off the inlet breather and popped my thumb over the end. I could feel the suction but it did nothing to the revs. Should it have died?
