Were the old tyres okay with the same wheels (for holding their air pressures)?

I don't get what you mean? The normal reason for a puncture not being repaired is because the damage is on the sidewalls...whether they mean that the rims are so poor where they meet the tyre that they can't do it, I don't know. Do you have a picture of the rim (so we can see what they are...

Hahaha...Good point to be fair! ;)

The 182 Cup (and non Cup) wheels are 16" and so are the Turinis. Another similar wheel are 2118s, but they are expensive. I would try and keep an eye out as some are up for sale on here for under £500. But its just a matter of waiting and seeing if you can get them. :)

Good, Good...pretty much what we have. Need to get it down now as we're paying £65 quid a month...so might get Mand to kick off with their call centre staff and get a discount! ;)

Did you get Tivo, V+ HD (in 2nd room) {for £3 extra per month} and 60Gb internet? If not, play up! ;)

I would go to a proper auto paint place which mixes the paint up. Halfords have differing staff...so its a risk, but a proper paint mixing place will have the relevant colour code(s) and mixing instructions and will have a colour match chart so that they should be able to work out which variant...

Chris...I have Prolines, but Sportlines will be just as easy to change. Just make sure on fronts, you pull damper all way up (I didnt and saw my arse). Rears are supposed to be the pain, but I used spring compressors to enable to pop them in. Fronts took under an hour with 2 people (once...

You cant sell anything on here until you've paid the £12 membership...but will be worth it if you are thinking of selling parts and gathering information from people who have done it...or traders you may need. :)

No real need though as its essentially the same car/engine!

Never heard of them! Optimistic? Yeah! under £200 for something that would normally cost up to and over ten times that for 200BHp? RS Tuning in Leeds (its a trek, but they're well thought of on here and also MeganeSport). There is Viezu in Bromsgrove...but we've only used them as Rolling...

172 Ph1 is pretty much same engine (apart from being throttle cable where as Cup is Fly By Wire). There is a Mk1 16v with a 172 Engine on here, but it would again need to be converted to run on cable as the older cars didn't have FBW on them. Have a look around and do a seach, should be able...

I would just create the smt/directors their own share/folder and remove all but explicit permissions...so that only THEY have access to it. Then show them...it might be that they are looking to sell out or something, so they dont want people aware of it until they have to....

Powder or paint? If paint...then codes for Anthracite is on here. Search ixell codes. Been covered hundreds of times. :)

Do not use PC World. Some staff members are clued up, but majority are surreal. Asked one for a PC case...he took me to laptop bags!! Looked at a base unit with i5 processor (Acer) and asked how many SATA connections it had as I wanted to put my old Hard disk in...the lad tried looking though...

Do you have an AUP (acceptable use policy) in place at work? (to allow access for the user to files, emails or internet). Surely, if this person has used 'your' systems for 'non-work related stuff' which is essentially pornographic in its content...then they are out. It would be like accessing...

Yep...mine was done by ProSpeed. Piers...have a search for threads started by me with prospeed in title...I'm on phone, so cant do it easily. It turns the 2" outlet from cat into 2.5" so that there is more air flow going out of cat. Unsure if it does anything...but does sort out rear of cat...

I had rear of cat amended to 2.5" and it passed MOT without issue. So long as it isnt dangerous (has shards of metal sticking out) and passes emissions then shouldnt be an issue as its fit for purpose. If its already got something wrong at the join and the repair/modification sorts it...should...

Don't worry at all mate...spotted the Reg, then saw you looking shocked and made me laugh. Need to come to a meet at some point mate. :)

Saw Gav over in Shifnal...looked spooked to see someone in an RS letting on. :rasp:

Karcher Outlet... http://www.karcheroutlet.co.uk/products/subcat.asp?mID=Pressure-Washer&sID=Sale&gclid=CNKM1L3V_bECFWchtAod0SEArg This one is recommended http://www.karcheroutlet.co.uk/products/product.asp?id=4934

Think it was John...was sat at lights (not paying attention) when saw a PH1 go across the lights (towards Hortonwood). Think it was John...can't be certain!

Sounds like the battery. Get it on charge overnight...or even try charging it off usb (as that seems quicker than mains for some reason!?!) It should show full battery if you press the on/off button while its still plugged in...then try it. If you need new battery, they are about £6 or £7 for...

Fair enough Ash...no worries at all mate. :)

Just please dont use MIJ in Walsall....SHIny and brighT is how I would refer to them!!!

Would go for a monthly meet. We've started it a few months ago in West Mids...pick a place which is reasonably central and go from there. Make sure its not in the sticks somewhere so people further away have relatively easy access to the place. Once it gets set up...you can then move it round...

Mick is a good, knowledgeable bloke who knows what he is doing. Unfortunately he is a one man band (unless he has someone else in now) and so can't do things 'on a whim' (unlike the cowboys you took your car to). You cant have a go at the bloke because he wont book people in a month in advance...

Its easy to transfer tyres across from one car to another. As for price...it depends on the place. Some places wont do it full stop. Others charge (around here) £10+ per wheel to do it. Phone around and ask...as we wont know your local garages and what they will suggest. Hope that helps. :)

Yeah...it will do it when stationary (sp?) or under a few mph. Saves it going mad while sat at the lights or in a jam.

If they are Turinis then take wheel off, go round back and put something blunt in the rear behind centre cap and should come off easily.
