should probably do it. Depends how dirty the car is tho

yeah, ive used it before. It goes a very long way and, IMO, did better than BH AF. I just prefered a foam cos instagram famous innit

oh! I hadnt even though about base colour tbh. Thats a brilliant idea. Appreciate that :)

My only worry is that they dont mention about being waterproof. Whilst I dont plan on doing a slip n slide in them, be handy. Its more for the pockets and kneeling I want them for tbh

Just had a look. Decent set of trousers with pockets galore. Added Knee pads. £37. Bargain?

Ill have a good look now. Could be good to pop on the xmas list too ;)

on that topic, I feel I need some better trousers when im doing car cleaning outside. Anyone have any recommendations? Ideally the ones with the padded knees cos im the oldest 26 year old youve ever seen.

I am indeed mate. Got access to a shot blaster and powder coater. Its the oven bit im stuck on but I have a plan for that too!

Hi folks, Looking for some powder to refurb my alloys with. Been hunting around for the right kind of colour and its seemingly impossible! Does anyone have any recommendations for where to source decent quality powder from? Im looking for a dark gold/bronze kind of colour. Everywhere I look is...

You would be surprised at how local there will be people who have CLIP. Might be worth digging around here or just checking the rules and popping a thread up with your rough area. Just as a silly but free idea. If you still have the old OEM seats, might it be worth trying them instead of the...

As James said above, all sources point to a wiring fault of some sort. But you probably already know this. One thing you could do is see if anyone you know locally has a clio. The airbag modules take 5 minutes and you could try someone elses to see if that would work. Potentially a free option...

This may or may not help you. Either way its gonna cost some money. A long time back now I picked up a silver 182. Think its the one in my pic. It had a side impact and I was determined to get it back on the road. I went to a wreckers and found a clio (non sport) that had the same number of...

rub it in why dont you!

I feel for you after doing that Audi. When the foam starts to freeze to the panels you know youre in trouble.

yeah, f**king badly 🤣 🤣

Oh, and based on his assumption that its 9k gold, a rough online calculator values that bar at £465. Its opening bids at £1100....... Think this blokes got GBP mixed up with Ugandan Dollars.

from the gold bar listing: "nice gold colour so is the grade it’s to be by mix so 12 to 14 k could be more but it’s being sold as 9 k so over 36 % gold so 14 k wood be 58 % is the amount that went in so" His grammar hasnt improved. Theres not a single full stop in the entire paragraph of...

Oooo yeah mate I can see the IMS bearing going from here. Tell you what, I'll do you a favour and take it off your hands 😉

Stop, you're making me miss mine 🤣

I will do that! Ta! I do have an engineer father in law who is pretty handy with a welder so I might get him to teach me ;)

my father in law has one. Its the slightly later model with nearly every single option. Its a fabulous car and rides exceptionally well (in comparison to my 140). He loves it too. The noise it makes definitely gets my knickers moist too. 🤣 That said, I do ever so slightly gain on him on the...

Yeah, further reading did say that tbh. I know it will have its limitations. Lots of the exhaust bits are silly thick though so im sure id be fine. Its more just a toy to play with tbh. Never done any welding so it could go very badly but how hard can it be, right? 🤣

That was my gut feeling too. Especially as I did some research on how much even a decent arc welder is....:oops: For how much I use it, I might take a punt. I just know we are gonna get to a point that we are gonna need a welder. Even for the exhaust or whatever just to tack stuff in place. I'm...

pls dont hate me. Been looking for a very very cheap welder (ideally ARC) just for very tiny spot welds etc. We are having the Mexico back from the restorers and I can just see us needing to do a couple of tack welds on bits. Only £30. Thoughts..... 🤡 :poop...

they seem like the ultimate daily until you get christmas cards from your local fuel station :poop: Nah, they are great. Hang fire on the prices though, they will come back down and it wont be too long. For reference, I paid £17 for mine 2 weeks before the first lockdown. Its still worth around...

Yep, many many remaps now. Another good way to tell is to get an appropriate compatable OBD scanner, download the MHD app free and it tells you if its been flashed and how many times too ;)

yeaaaaaahhhhhhh. Might aswell drive a Micra in the winter with these 🤣

I did more research than id care to admit on these cars before I bought mine...... 235i have the N55 engine. The internet will tell you that they suffer from oil starvation. They rarely do as long as topped up. Also, donuts arent advised but open diff isnt exactly easy to do anyway. Otherwise...

That seems to be the general consensus too. I absolutely love my 140. So much so, I threatened to sell it to fund my wedding and my entire family (sensing the oncoming loss-of-car depression) all told me that if I sold it, they wouldnt attend the wedding 🤣 🤣 🤣 It is a great all rounder. Its not...
