    Wheel Refurb.

    I only replaced 2 tyres. Lucky had a spare set of wheels and an estate. 4 wheels with tyres + 2 tyres takes up a lot of space. That the other thing they charge you a premium if you give them car with wheels, cheaper if you just give them wheels.

    Car Battery Charger. Buying Advice needed

    Charger lead pretty short around 4 foot. Lead from terminals to charger comes with one that you can leave attached and thennplug to the charger. This is not very Long but you can buy longer ones and run to poke out of your grill, then you can charge without bonnet being open. It may be easier...

    Wheel Refurb.

    Just watch if you are going darker then you will need centre caps painted which is extra cost.

    Wheel Refurb.

    I used wheel works in crawley for some subaru wheels 4 years ago. Set of 4 in gold. Got new tyres fitted at same time that I bought from Camskill. Good way to save a bit if you are due tyres as saves on normal fitting costs. Still look as new. Although i take of clean and store over winter then...

    Buying Touchup?

    I have used these before but look to be in lockdown. Previously have been good but last time was first time I ordered liquid yellow and that seemed very gloopy. Not sure if that is function of paint type. https://www.auto-paint.co.uk

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Used a turtle wax headlight restorer on wife's 2005 blobeye sti. It is cheaper than the competitors at a tenner. Really impressed with results. Crystal clear. They were not that bad so only need polishing compound. Did not need to used sanding pads.

    Bye bye Elf, hello castrol

    I threw some in my megane a couple of weeks ago. I am only light use. Cheap enough from rpd. I think it was £27. Been doing mine every 6 months at approx 3k miles. Meg 275 service intervals are 12k or 2 years.

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    My wife had a z3m coupe when i had my e91, had to wait till daughter in a front facing seat as no passenger airbag switch on that. Boot ok on that. Remember seeing a picture online someone took when I took daughter to breakfast club at goodwood of the car with recaro child seat. When my...

    Still loving the pan roof combo with the light leather. Such a bright place to be.

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    Good update. You are right about the trim the dark wood looks better against that leather. Don't believe you will have much space. Whilst the e91 is a cracking looking car the narrow boot due to being rwd does not give great space once a pushchair is in there. Having the other back seat makes...

    Should I buy a Clio sport for a daily ?

    Coming from a fr which i assume is boosted. Beware the relative lack of low down torque. The 182 hides this better because of lower weight. The 197 or 200 you will need to be top of rev range to keep up with relatively modest looking modern turbo petrol or diesel cars. Ok on a back road or...

    Who is buying and selling cars at the moment?

    If you have no car as you crashed or blew up you previous one and need it to drive at the moment to your job at the hospital. Yes. If you are getting because its cheap? Does not sound essential. Remember any interaction with a stranger puts your friends and family at risk not just you. They...

    Nice 280. Looks like you have not had a chance to get it dirty yet.

    Who is buying and selling cars at the moment?

    A friend of mine just ended his deal on a 335d and hands back to bmw a little early and picked up its replacement a new m135i. He said its sat outsiee its house with 100 miles on it. I have seen a good few people talking about the £229 a Month deals on megane rs with delivery dates soon. I guess...

    Who is buying and selling cars at the moment?

    In a similar vain to the"Anyone going for long drives" hopefully with less abuse. To relieve boredom I regularly look at pistonheads. Still a few nice cars coming up from private sellers. Noticed a nice black gold car with low miles and Recaros. I may have taken a look at such a car, unlikely...

    Anyone going on long drives?

    Whilst out to my daily exercise (cycle) combined with collection of food supplies I came across a q7 broken down on a round about. Two police cars sped to it in blue lights. To assist the driver try in to push his elderly 2.5 tonne truck. I am sure he did not plan on breaking down when he...

    Subaru is nice car we have had ours for 6 years bought with 25k now has 55k. Took 9 months to find and that was then. Has never missed a beat only std annual servicing at subaru main dealer. Does 27 mpg. Which reflects how uts driven! Always keep eyes peeled for nice 182 or 200. To partner up...

    OneTime's Racing Blue 182

    Sorry may have missed it but is it cup pack? The wheel colour is throwing me. Nice looking car. My wife has a sti widetrack but would still consider a nice 182 in a rare colour to replace it.

    Peugeot 306 GTI-6 Mini Resto

    I reversed my meg in the garage and could not get out. Was not sure if it was meg that was wide or my waistline. Long doors don't help on 3 door. Plenty of room on 306. Amazing value on parts.

    Clios in Old EVO Magazine

    I am still an evo subscriber. From issue 2. Bought all my cars based on there reviews. Harry podcast is good makes I sound like the wildwest when he set it up. Just renewed subs they are going a year for £36. With an amazing a3 poster book. Like giant postcards. There is a clio Williams in...

    Peugeot 306 GTI-6 Mini Resto

    The wheels used to be be pig to balance, look closely and you will see there is no hole in the middle only bolt holes. Remember some people had replicas made in 17 inch instead of 15. The looked cool as car looked std but difficult towork out why it looked better.

    Peugeot 306 GTI-6 Mini Resto

    Memories. Had an identical w reg car. Came to it from an e30 m3 and p1 back in about 2003. Test drive a corrado vr6 and an integra type-R before buying the 306. My wife and even my mum thought I had lost my love of cars. That was when I first got in the internet on pay as you go dial up. As i...

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    Is that rear wheel arch easy to sort? I love the combo of the light interior and sunroof? Beautiful. Such an understated package. I cannot believe so many went for just black. Can't be long before all the 320d disappear and it becomes a rare shape like the e46 touring (see occasionally) but...

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    I kept warranty on mine too for the 4 years I had it. I did the same on my e92 M3. And it was 4 times more expensive. For what is actually a more reliable car. M tax!

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    Have you got the n52 or n53? Tricky game with bmw picking the right engine. Same with 335i. Sorry gave up posting pics when photobucket went sour, had bmw 269 wheels and a bmw performance exhaust. Sold with exhaust but I had not broke that in. Kept thd wheels and sold later current owner on...

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    They stopped building them in 2010. As every one must have bought 335i instead. Mine was a 2010. So one of the last n.a. straight 6 they made. N53 engine could be troublesome though. Space grey, pan roof, saddle brown leather, front park sensors, cornering headlights. Nice car.

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    Very nice, as a former 330i e91 lci manual owner. I know how difficult it is to find. I woulc have paid Strong money myself it was manual. And j am not even looking for a car! Well played.

    LY 182 Values

    I contacted the seller on the ly 182 when on pistonheads a few months back, he also sold a lower Mileage bg. It was up for £7250. I think it then dropped to £6750. It then dissapeared as you say and reappeared at a trader for £7500 on ebay, its not there now as you say. May have been sold or...
