how often do people do this?
when i do my car properly it goes on axle stands and parts come off the body work like mirrors, door handles, trim etc
how far do people go when detailing other people's cars? as a lot of videos i have watched do not show the pro's taking wheels off to...
mine just never seems to be that clean anymore, lots of scratches inside and out :(
any ideas on getting in back to look in top condition?
due to being obsessive about it being clean (the entire car) i have, in all seriousness, thought about replacing the windscreen at some point :S
jamie

mate, when someone is turning into a car park, off a busy road, with ample room (since you were miles away) you DO NOT f**king belt it to make sure they can't move in, you total nonse!! a kind flash of the lights to allow me to go on my way, and stop blocking others that want to carry on with...
Phone seems to have packed up mate, but you said you might be getting a bad chip sorted and wanted to ask how its worked out?
sure people in our area might be interested as well so thought i'd thread it rather than PM.
Also, need the front bumper respraying (already!! :( ) which body shop in...
i need some new wheel bolts for my car, as mine are shagged and one has sheared due to them being s**t (came with my wheel spacers)
i have 15mm wheel spacers, i want ones that will fit the car correctly, as i have been told that the ones i have are 17 somethings, and i need 19?? or 1.7 and i...
i havea very tniny noise coming from the engine at around 2k. this doesnt matter whether i am in gear, moving, braking etc etc, so long as the engine is revving at 2k.
my first thought was that maybe the manifold is a little loose?
any ideas on what else it could be?
jamie
you are currently parked up in the J4B parking spaces so presuming you work somewhere in my building.
mine is the 52 reg blue clio couple of cars down from you.
oh, and you've just been flyered!!

following on from my other thread, sorry to start another one, but it reads more clearly!
anyone got any recommendations on locations for cambelts being done in the NW?
jamie
had my rear drum brake pads changed about 4/6 weeks ago
they have now started to squeak, both when the brakes are used as well as when the car is moving along very slowly (like 5mph) such as in traffic or rolling up to somewhere to park (its quite embarrassing!)
what could be causing the...
its a 1,2 as most know already, was in at renault having the bonnet catch done and they asked if it has been done yet.
what mileage should it be done at, how much is it, and could it be the reason for the belt squeaking i have occasionally when the car moves off or changes gear?
jamie
any one else's texting, facebooking and BB chat down at the moment?
i can call, go on the internet, get into my voicemail, but messaging services dont seem to want to send?
full reception, inc 3g etc
jamie
if i want to watch a programme, does the file download to my computer?

fitted an led rear light from josh hatton a while back, so here is a photo having bought a new number plate light lens and holder;
i also decided to change my (newly improved thanks to...
do these exist?
i know it sounds like a stupid question as they springes and dampers must be "mounted" somehow, but i was just wondering if they can wear away, having found out that my front top mounts are buggered.
would want to have everything replaced while i am at it!!
jamie
not sure if it is shims or shins or skins or what . . .
looking at getting some for the rear of my car, i know that last time i asked this i think Fred said that Yozza sell them. What price are they and how hard/much to fit?
any previous experience would be great! :D
jamie
not dressing them, i have seen thread a few posts down ;)
what do people use to clean the tyres with? the wheels are coming off soon to take it off the road for a full PC and really want to go to town on tyres as i top up the old tyre shine every other week.
jamie

any problems doing this? obv going to be very careful with the pressure washer around the soft top, but should i really avoid ANY overspray onto the top?

jamie
