If you’ve no luck, WhatsApp me tomorrow (pm you) and I will leave it on unread. That will remind me to do it next time I’m in the unit (weds probably)

Rupes

I’m having loads of issues with stalling the j anything other than flat panels. Irritating.

Yes. And I haven’t got any. 😭

Yes mate, everyone is welcome.

I can’t help it if you all drove too slow.

Where abouts are you?? You’re more than welcome to borrow all my machines for a weekend if you don’t want to buy one.

As long as you use a DA and not a rotary, you’ll be fine. Buy some Angelwax Resurrect, a cheap DA polisher and some microfibre pads and you’ll be loving life I promise you. That Halfords polisher is a pile of poo, don’t waste your money.

The scuttle drains block up and water can get in to the cabin. But honestly, it’s just poorly made and the solder joins crack. A decent repair man (like @Brigsy pointed to) will have it as good as new in 24h. Be reet. 👌🏽

No need to remove it. Most whack it from underneath. I bet it works after. 😂

The UCH tends to pack up slowly. So it gives you little warnings before it fails properly. I suspect this is what’s happening here. Have you given it a whack? A swift clump usually makes it work properly for a few days. 😂

Just read this from start to finish, what a read!! An absolute credit to you mate!! 👌🏽

If the water was coming in through them (it’s not) it would be brown water - those bolts were rusty from factory. 😂

I genuinely don’t get it with the 172/182. I understand the standard shite. But you can’t get a more modern car that drives as well as a 1*2. Show me another car for less than £3/4k that has half leather, air con, traction control, cruise control, and can go round corners on 3 wheels allllll...

You’ve both commented next to one another, this is like some sort of Hadron Collider. I just need that Leeds boy to comment now and my brain will actually explode.

I love stuff like this. Proper determination and a few tools and go at it. Bravo, sir.

Wing mirror glass is very easy to scratch. So don’t go mental. Worse case just buy a new glass?

Trade policy FTW. 👌🏽

Rear shocks play a huge part in a Clio’s handling. If you’ve got crappy aftermarket ones on there and budget front tyres, it will handle like a boat.

My parents have USB sockets in their house and we all have Apple phones 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah the only way that will sell is if it’s the cheapest in the country. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet - it’s not going up in value.

6 inch mate. But I’m about to order some 5 inch for the smaller panels. The 6 is brilliant for bonnet and roofs but for everything else it’s a hindrance and a smaller pad is easier. That may change with a bit of practice I’m sure, but I’m not there yet.

Has anyone used Stjarnagloss products?

Christ Kev, only had it half a day calm doon. Only used the white pad with some old Menz 2500 as my polishes are coming Friday. Yellow Rupes pad, blue Rupes pad, yellow polish and blue polish, and a load of Megs Microfibre pads. Got it all from James at Ti22.

Finally got myself a mk3 Rupes 21 polisher. Ho-Lee-sheet where have you been all my life?? I can literally polish a whole car in under 2 hours now. What a machine!

No ‘after’ pics just yet. I’m off tomorrow for a funeral so here is some action shots… Will be finished Friday pm, collected Saturday morning. Just need to dehumidifier to not trip out tonight or I’m fucked. 😂😂

I’ll leave these here so I can update once it’s finished… My boss wanted to buy a new interior but I said I’d save it. Here goes….

Herp derp

I hope you answered the phone you horrible b*****d. 😂😂 What if he was in the petrol station and couldn’t figure out how to open the fuel cap or something?? Poor fucker.

I just said the same in my head as I was reading it. I gave a little sigh of relief when I read the last sentence. 😂🙏
