I know! Like I'd be such as an asshole as to sell her a car that needed loads of work done on it....... oh wait?!! Yep. I always said to her, take it to a specialist, which she didn't do. Proper false economy when he charged £550 labour for the cambelt/ dephaser/ waterpump/ aux belt job. My...

My first love......

Off to Two Techs this morning to meet my sister and drop the BG182 off for the week. Let's hope it's in an ok state for a ressurection!!

Don't you ruin this for me!! #thetruthhurts

I'm well tempted to just get it nice and tidy and keep it for the odd B road blast tbh! Every time I see someone on here with a nice BG, I think back to mine. We shall see, so watch this space!

See above @Scrooge ; )

The thing is, this mechanic is her husbands mates dad, who they seem to trust, however I never have. I'm gonna get the car back this weekend, and take it to my mechanic to give it an overhaul, and run over all the things that have been done on it of late. Then I'm gonna get the small ding on it...

You're both gonna have to fight for it!! :tongueclosed:

Looks like I'm getting my BG182 back then - sister wants rid of it. I'm excited - what a f**king loser!

Sods f**king law huh!!

Reckon it's ok for a drive down from Sutton to Kent, so I can take it my garage? She says it's making some noises....

From mechanic - "It's ok there's nothing to pay, I'm going to try to manually adjust the belt to see if I can override the spring which tightens the belt." That sounds like a dodgy fix! I'm gonna get the thing down here to my old garage in Ashford, as the chief mechanic has his own 172, so knows...

But surely if she had the big cambelt/ dephaser job done, this should be fine? Or am i missing something? I know little in regards mechanics ; ( I just don't trust this mechanic she's been using at all!

New update from Sister: "So apparently now the tension belt is knackered on the car? The part is 200 plus labour!! Basically it’s making this really bad screeching noise when you turn the tyres parking but it’s not the tyres - it’s some belt thing." I don't have a clue, but I presume this is...

Lol!! They wouldn't have heard of the one I got. It's too modern!

Cheers boss. This one is indeed a beast and rather rarer than the common RS4 ; )

Random one, but whats best for cleaning these TV's? The little man likes to slap it with his grubby fingers so muggins is having to clean it every other day!

Will look into that mate. Got around 20mb (as rather rural), good enough?

Reckon the S8 will drop much in price? I'm waiting for it to be well under the £500 mark, then may upgrade it, as currently using the S6.

1k just for cambelt/ dephaser etc. Brakes/ window are on top of that.

100k @DrR haha - slight mistype.....

Don't sell a car to a family member ; )

I was going to suggest these.... Audio-Technica ATH-M40X Professional Headphones - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HVLUR54/?tag=cliospnet01-21 But the AKGs are pretty good ; )

General I believe.

So I sold the 182 and told the new owner it needs it's cambelt doing. They chased the local garage who have quoted below: "So just had call from the mechanic. It’s gonna be quite a big job - cam belt, changing water pump, some special pulley, plus other things like break pads worn, something...

No worries. Was only £30 with a sky card thing inc postage so I don't hold it against you....

Why didn't you @ me in on this! I've just f**king bought one on eBay ; ( However it does come with a card which was the main reason I bought it!

I was thinking that tbh. Are the newer sky boxes hdmi then? I presume if the channel isn't HD the hdmi still carries the shitter quality picture?!

So we get s**t tv coverage where we live and we've always had an old sky box and just watched the free channels you get with it. We've gone and bought a new TV which doesn't have a SCART so can no longer plug this Sky box in. What's the best top box solution that's internet only? Is there such...

Anyone know a decent garage in the Surrey area for this? My sister keeps putting it off on the BG (due Nov 17 as had last been done 5 years ago), and if she makes it go bang, I may even shed a tear. She said a mechanic they know, is going to check "electronically" when it needs doing? Is he...
