Alex W? HMS boat bomber?
I'm not very good with diesels but a mate of mine has a 54 plate clio dci 80.
It starts, ticks over and sounds perfect. Quietest one i've heard in fact.
But on boost, it horses out blue oily smoke.
It had a new turbo, intercooler and all pipework from Renault in...
I've currently got a full up slow as s**t iPhone4. On orange/EE.
I've just got an iPhone 5s (?) on orange/EE. Direct from orange so brand new in the box.
What do I do? I've got a new SIM card for the new phone but I don't want to lose my messages, pictures, etc etc from my old phone.
Can...
Have you tried hitting the pump? My old one used to need a whack with a sharp instrument every few starts.
Turn the key to pos 2, get in the back, whack the pump, Bzzzzzzzzz hey presto we're off again! lol.
I had a manual 535i (or maybe 540?!) not that long ago. I couldn't sell it for love nor money! Ended up getting peanuts for it on ebay and it went to Poland to be broke for spares. Terrible shame really. :(
I'd keep the minter ph1 and the 535 though. Get shot of the rest.
I'm willing to bet a quid to a chip of s**t that no hand car wash place that washes the outside of cars for a fiver or less, changes the water in the bucket after every car, let alone uses new wash mitts.
If i'm taking my nice swirl free car, and before me they've washed some flthy rep mobile...
Mk1 Corsa. Good god those cars have zero redeeming features. If anyone can name 3 good things, i'll award you 10 man points.
I had a 1.0 12v as a runner for work and it was so so s**t. Uncomfy, heavy steering, s**t driving position, dreadful chairs, an absolutely ridiculous steering wheel...
I'll attend either way, but i'll only bring a clio for the stand if it's in a 'premium' location. I can't be bothered to be walking halfway around the circuit all the time with my son. I'm really old and tired and he's got really small legs.
I'd offer to do it saturday but a) i'm working and B) my mate whose garage I use is away all weekend.
I know lemonnobby1 is pretty quiet this week, I spoke to him tonight.
If it's had a whack (which would explain the bent crash bar and bent subframe) the airbags and/or the pre tensioners have maybe fired and the airbag lights have then come on. Rather than getting the ECU reset and fitting new airbags and pre tensioners someone has decided that pulling a bulb out...
There's lots you can do.
Put a standard exhaust back on it.
Change the exhaust for a quieter stainless one.
Fit a cat back in it if it doesn't currently have one.
Add a silencer to the centre section if it hasn't got one.
The only thing I find with trim dressing, it dissolves the pads! Lol
I use Autoglym stuff though so a different brand may be ok.
I use them mainly for glass polish. Because they're so small they're great for getting in the corners etc.
