    Anti-roll bar + break discs + pads + rear axle

    Took my car in this morning for the tracking doing to get my wheel straight as it was annoying me. The guy got me to come and look at the car and said the back wheels are out a bit too and if the front wheels were straight it could possibly cause more problems and there were other things that...

    Can't remove back seat?

    The star'ish fixing that secures the back seats to the car is so tight i just can't turn it. I don't know what to use to get it out, i was very slightly getting it with an screwdriver that had an angled handle but it was so tight it just broke. The tip i have is one that goes into universal...

    pretensioner rear seatbelts?

    Bought some black rear seatbelts and just thought nothing of them when i got them, they have the pretensioner on them and a little wire. Presuming this has something to do with higher spec models such the 1*2 etc.. Anyway i went to have a look at changing them over in my 1.2 and see that the...

    Did my first time spraying the week before last on my door strips, done a decent job however I did not get the lacquer right, it needs another good wet coat or two to make it thick and glossy, it hasn't been touched since I did them and they have been sat in the garage for nearly two weeks. What...

    Extreme & Dynamique

    okay an 02 extreme and a 54 dymanique, what is the difference? The trip computer has digital fuel meters, the door handles are metal silver, is that it? Really failing to see any real difference between them both apart from that.
