    Anyone with a Haynes manual and a Scanner? Huge favour ;)

    It was with eFax I think, couldn't really see the pricing on it though - does say something about local rate numbers but best not to I guess! Daniel, that's very generous. Hopefully I'll be able to do it tomorrow though, as it's failed its MOT and needs the brakes done for that so sooner the...

    Failed MOT on worn front discs

    Had a quick look earlier, looks like it should be fine - looks pretty rusty there but I think/hope I know what I'm doing! Had a look through the guide in the guides section although that includes painting etc too but it shoudn't be too different

    Anyone with a Haynes manual and a Scanner? Huge favour ;)

    Just signed up for a free online fax number which is 44-7006-029-198 does that number make sense? It's meant to send the faxes as emails? Otherwise no I haven't got one unfortunately!

    Failed MOT on worn front discs

    Yeah that's hoping they're the right ones! From the guides, it looks like I need 13mm and 17/18mm to undo the caliper etc Would something like this do the job...

    Failed MOT on worn front discs

    I've got axle stands and basic tools, not sure about the g-clamp Don't really fancy being halfway through doing it, and needing something else as there's noone else here/no other cars!

    Failed MOT on worn front discs

    Cool, sounds promising There's probably a guide in the guides section on here is there? Membership ran out the other week - will pay for it again if there is one! Otherwise, what sort of tools would I need? I'm not an idiot, but haven't changed discs before

    Failed MOT on worn front discs

    Just phoned a local motorfactors, he said they have: Discs : £12.90 each Pads : £9.14 each all plus vat So thats £40ish altogether Does that sound too cheap? If that sounds kosher I'll pop over and get those and fit them myself

    Insurance - Driving other car at 20yrs old

    Yeah you're probably fine! When did you renew out of interest? It says £150, but when you add it an error comes up saying they want to know how you're going to use the car. Maybe it's so make sure you're not driving another car that you own thinking you're covered or something May give them...

    Insurance - Driving other car at 20yrs old

    Seems they may have changed it to £150? Anybody else fancy trying a quote to see what the option costs ;) edit: when I choose it, it says there's been an error - so you're probably correct!

    Insurance - Driving other car at 20yrs old

    Yeah hopefully that's the case Going through the quote again, but it was definitely a £149.99 option the first time round. Hopefully I typed something in wrong Same thing again, not sure what the difference is Policy upgrades Legal expenses cover £27.50 Windscreen cover £12.95...

    Insurance - Driving other car at 20yrs old

    Just seen another thread, and bell seems to be recommended. When I got a quote though, they wanted £149.99 for anycar cover and not the £20/£30 others had been charged! May try the quote again, although it's probably their new policy or something edit: just seen the above, on flexibell its £150...

    I'm looking at quotes for my 1.2 clio at the moment, cheapest are around £500 I'm 20, with 3 years ncb. Can anyone recommend any decent companies to try? I've seen a couple of places who offer 3rd party cover on other cars, but can't remember which companies they were! I know one was about...

    snow foam

    What are you using it with, have you got a proper lance for a pressure washer? The bilt hamber autofoam is meant to be great, but otherwise most of the detailing websites sell 5L of similar snow foam something like this maybe...

    Dr. ColorChip

    they had one on detailingworld, think they saved quite a bit. The postage was expensive so with them all getting delivered to one place it was much cheaper the results look really good though
