    Chavs Throwing Stuff at my Car!!!!

    What really makes my blood boil is the t***s that throw stuff at fire engines, ambulances and buses. Also throwing stuff off motorway bridges, If I ever catched anyone doing anything like that I think I'd go mental.

    horn not working

    Did you check if it is securly bolted to the bracket, as the bracket doubles up as the earting point and if its loose/rusted it wont work. If your horn is faulty you can get cheap replacements from Halfords that bolt on.

    wheels back from refurb

    Looks a lot better as said above, it looks like you have part of your wheel arch missing on the drivers side, you need that as part of it covers the aux belt and rollers from debris, pm me if you want, as I have one for sale.

    Quick question....

    how do u know if top mounts are dead?

    Its a pain to setup, I found it doesnt work with xp. I have it on an old compaq laptop that has windows ME, you have to have certain versions of java and quicktime which are included on the cds for it to work.

    You mean between the top of the turret and the very top mount you can see in the engine bay? There has to be some clearence to allow them to rotate when you steer.
