Is there any easy way to do it or do I have to sit for hours picking it all off? I only have a couple of hours, i'm selling my car tomorrow and it needs to come off. Thanks, Brett

Is it necessary to change the waterpump on a 172 at the same time as the cambelt and aux kit. The price difference is £125 between the two. I know the waterpump is driven off the aux belt so if it goes the cambelt wouldn't need re-doing. This would be on a ph1 172 by the way. 2nd belt...

As above realy, went down to a garage in manchester. The car was a Y plate, Iceburg Silver, 72K and FSH. Advertised at £2900 sounds good...... I get there and it has: Cracked fog Nakered paint on the OS door and front bumper NS skirt coming off FSH has no evidence of belt change Power...

As above. Based on 19, 2 years expeience, 1NCB, IAM and owners club member. £1554 tpft with Flux. I'm going to try brentacre and a few others tomorrow but I feel thats a decent price to start with and I would pay that if knowbody else beats that. I know its only tpft but a lot of younger...

I'm actually impressed with there valuation of my car. I put down about the rear bumper scrape, large dent in my door and front bumper needing a spray and they give a provisional valueation of exactely what I am looking for with no hassle of selling privately. The latest appointment they have...

Well, I've been saving up for over a year now for a new car and the PH1 is at the top of my list. I'm looking to change in 8 weeks when I renew my insurance. The problem is there seem to be very few about. I want a mint one that has FSH, both belts done recently, good condition and as standard...

As above realy, what do you lads think it will cost to have the door pulled out and sort out the bump strip? Going to get some quotes on Monday. Brun was very helpful today when I went to Arnold Clarke and he's put me on to a guy who i'll be getting a quote off, thanks mate. Got no idea...

My Mum has reversed into my car, doors oushed in, rubstip fucked, thats all I can tell so far because the cars dirty and its dark. Gutted tbh because I was going to give it a nice bath tomorrow ready forn the NW meet on Sunday. I have forgiven her though, no point in falling out with your...

1st time out with the D40 properly. Realy need a tripod, i've got a gorillapod but it erm, won't hold the DSLR because its too heavy :o Anyway my fav pics out of them all, would have put more up but photobuckets being gay. Loving your seats Bloor, My next clio will have...

As above, they look realy good i like how you can attach the camera from things and also its compact size. Got it off ebay for £3.99 inc delivery. Tbh I thought it might be a scam because these are like £15+ from anywhere else and also the things coming from hongkong. After looking at his...

Right basically i'm trying to decide between the two. Its my 1st DSLR camera and I'm a photography newbie. I can get the nikon d40 18-55mm for £215 Or The Eos d1000 18-55 for £263 inc £30 cashback. Which would you recomend bearing in mind i'm a newbie. Thanks Brett

As above I saw a nice RB 182 inconsiderately parked in the pick up only spaces at tesco in earlestown ;) Think I might start parking there chris but knowing my luck i'd get clamped. Still haven't actually bumped into you there yet, i've seen your car there several times though, one day eh?

Which is the better camera out of the two. I'm thinking of getting one for xmas and they're exactly the same price etc so which is the better. I'm fancying the Nikon but I know the Cannon eos range have a good reputation. Also what is the difference between a IS and VR lense. I'm just after...

Was in this underground carpark on sat and couldn't resist a quick pic. I know it needs an RS grill, silvervisions and lowering but it won't be getting any of them because i'm saving up for a 1*2. It also needs a clean but I was visiting thw gf at uni so didn't have chance.

Obviously the cup pack suspension is better than standard suspension on 182's. But if you add coilovers to both a standard and cup packed 182 would the cars then handle the same way? Just because non cup packed 182's are going realy cheap even for a mint one but i'd want the best possible...

How useful are axle stands? What things do they alloy you to go? Obviously change brakes/wheel easily but what other stuff could you fit coilies using them? fit a decat or exhaust etc. Basically i'm just after an idea of what things they will let me do that i couldnt do with just the...

A squirell went straight under my car today and it didnt even flinch, have done the same thing with a rabbit aswell. If i had coilies there would be two dead animals but thanks to directline not letting me have mods its saved two animals. would still prefare the coilies though :dapprove:

As above, my doorcards and seats are starting to look a little dirty due to them being grey and blue its pretty visible. What they need is a shampoo and there are several companies that do it, best i have seen so far is £35 and promises to restore it to factory condition depending on age, mines...

:dapprove: As above, going to work this morning, side windows frosted up, trying not to run over my lil bro's cat, i reversed into a neighboors car, she was realy nice about it though just said oh don't worry about it even though i said i'd give her some money to get it fixed. No excuses i'm...

The clutch in my car (1.2 16v) has its biting point right at the top of the pedal travel and it is also heavy compared to other cars, is this normal or should I be worried? Car is 3 years old with 36k btw

If you bought a dci 65 or 80 then did a full sport conversion right from the engine to the suspension, bodywork, interior etc am i correct in saying it would still be £30 a year to tax i 2009? If so its a great was of saving £230 a year, although the ammount of work probly isnt worth it, but...

will 195/50/15 tyres fit on standard dynamique rims? The standard tyres are 185/55/15 and Elaxito PE2's are £98.20 a corner but for the 195/50/15's they are £51 :eek: this is from www.mytyres.co.uk So will they fit without any side affects or is it not possible to change from the correct size.

Not much of a mod but i think it looks good. Future mods are limited due to being with direct line. Planned mods untill next august when the policy runs out are: Silvervisions Aluminium pedals Any other mods i come across that don't affect insuranceI also want my front bumper reprayed...

As above, i was on the carpark eating lunch and noticed your car then you got in it and drove off. The yozza and decat sounded good when you drove off. Have seen f0xy around there too in the past, i work on newton high street so its only 5 mins away.

What can I use to clean my seats and doorcards in my car as they're a little discouloured after 36K miles. I tried steam cleaning but it just left damp stains :dapprove: not sure if i did it properly though. Any suggestions to bring the interior back to life?

I have been looking at quotes for next year and 182's FC with bell £500 excess £2400. Yet a mini cooper s is only £1800 this is a big difference and considering the mini is worth more. Fiesta ST was £1600. I may now consider a cooper s for a year because they don't lose much value, then get...

Started my car this morning, wipers where still on from last night. So I put it in reverse rear wiper wiped as per when you put it in reverse with the wipers on, so I turned the wipers off because it wasnt raining then noticed my rear screen was a bit dirty. So i used the screenwash and it just...

I'm thinking of upgrading to a 2004> MK2 1.6 16v. The insurance isnt too bad, only a bit more than my 1.2 16v. I would use it as the basis for a bit of a project, to modify it tastefully over time untill i can afford a proper hot hatch. I also want a mint condition one as my 1.2 16v isnt in the...

Prize to the closest. Just done a quote for a 172. 18 0 ncb Institute of advanced motorists Cad d postcode licence 1 year Hoping it will come back at £2000 with the IAM on it. Doubt it though. I doubt i will even be able to get insured at 19 with 1ncb. I want a sport asap because if i...
