If you don't use an allen key the shock insert will spin. A buzz gun's the best way.

Just bought my insurance with Sky. Top notch price and service. The lads really know their stuff.

Take it to a local garage. Most will spin it off for free, it's such a quick job!

I've got this to come in the next couple of weeks.. Need to phone Sky, really as Flux have beaten their quote by a few quid!

You're obviously revving it too hard.. I used to get 400+ miles to £40 in mine. Regular driving. Nearer 450 on the motorways, and neither of those, was I driving particularly gently.

You've got a few options. First WD40 and wire brush. Then try the socket again.. Next, heat with a blowtorch. Might work. Last, angle grinder. Nothing argues.

Don't blame me if it goes tits up! ;) I've done it with countless cars, and never had a problem!

Open both bonnets. Start KA. Connect leads to KA. Connect leads to 172. Fire up 172. Leave for a minute. Disconnect. Job done.

Jump leads are fine. Make sure the other car is running when you connect them up.

Try and pull the bumper, you'll be able to feel where it's stuck!

Yep, standard is 247mm with a 20mm master cylinder.

I'm jealous of the spec of this little weapon! In just about every area, it's awesome! So much car, for so little money!

Coming on nicely!

Not until it's legal!

No updates? ;)

Bigman and I are in!

I keep coming back to look at this. Really is a much better looking car on F1's.

That looks 4 billion times better. No exaggerating, either.

Birchdown will be able to point it out in no time, i'm sure. Got me sumped, though. Wahey!

Yeah, I'm a member on both. 106OC is mainly full of 17-19 year old people, looking for angel eyes and 4" exhausts. RR is much better for technical questions and answers. There's a few people on there, that if there's something they don't know about 106's, it's not worth knowing!

I really do hope so! I've not driven the thing yet, but I've seen a few videos, and quite a few people that have driven/owned them assure me that 16v S1's are a fun little car, which will surprise a few bigger cars. Uprated engine mounts are defnitely on the 'to-buy' list, if some come up for a...

Changing engine mounts is a doddle. As Russ said, check the upper gearbox mount. Mine had also come loose a couple of times. Tightened it up again, and it was fine!

LOL. Apart from the induction (which i'm still sort of keeping my eye out for) I'm running exactly the same setup with Kent PT51 cams. Hopefully make 140-145bhp. Who knows. Oh, the noise! Quiet on idle, and whilst under low revs, and the raspiest thing i've ever heard, after 3k rpm!

This was something different two years ago. Subtle FTW.

Yeah, the gearboxes are made of butter, by all reports. I'd fit it myself, though, and they're pretty regularly available at between £70-£140 now. Pugsport came with the car! ;)

Yeah, it's mad how cheap everything is for 106/Saxos. Plus, most of the people on the forum aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, so there's always bargains to be had! List to do tonight: Jubilee top coolant pipe. Fill up coolant. Lower onto wheels. Do up driveshaft nuts. Wire up fan...

You make absolutely no sense to me.

LOL. Save your money and buy an electric supercharger.

:cool: See pm, you big jesse.
