When you follow it - What's at the end of it?

What has caused the boot to split on a brand new part in one day?

Take the car somewhere flat. I just do it by eye. Wind it in/out a bit until the wheels looks straight ahead or have a bit of toe depending on what I want, when you lower it down to the ground. Small adjustments. Repeat until happy. Get someone in the car to shake the steering wheel until the...

Would anyone happen to know off the top of their head what size the stainless screws are which hold the 'faux carbon' end caps on to the Cup spoilers for the Mk3? Random but you never know!

Posting it out to me :)

The seller may be able to tell you if you ask them.

There's nothing to say that a few weeks later another tester at the same garage won't fail it for another overlooked/newly identified issue. I personally just book a test up to 4 weeks before expiry and use the first test as an indicator for what needs doing and have 10 working days to rectify...

Use a brake pipe spanner, wire brush the hell out of it and use some decent penetrating oil. Worst case scenario is you will kink the pipe if you're too heavy handed with it.

Silverline tools are generally speaking, Chinese tools. For something you wish to retain a level of accuracy, I'd have avoided personally. Hopefully it will see you right anyway :)

If you aren't changing the disc you won't need to disturb the hub nut. Effectively it's a Nyloc from memory so it's good practice to replace, but if you torque it up correctly it will likely be fine and you can look to source another in the meantime and change it over in the near future.

I've got a couple of Halfords ones. I've dug out the receipts for you. Trade prices when I purchased last year: 40-200nm £74.99 retail. £59.99 Trade 8-60nm £74.99 retail. £39.99 Trade

Still going?

The £ being at the end of the price really frustrates me. 75.19£ There's no need for it.

What will you be using it for?

Combe has had new tarmac recently and it will squeal a lot more than 'old' tarmac. I did a track day there on Monday and it was very loud with my R888s.

If you can get hoses made up cheap, there's not much point in you buying one of the kits as they often end up making you fit the cooler in an area where you don't really want it - but works for the hose routing - which isn't ideal. Remember, you want air to be able to escape from behind it. If...

I had a 53 plate 172 with a build date of Nov/December 2003 which I'm pretty sure didn't have the extra castor arms. Obviously it's plausible that in 11 years the arms may have been changed. I think I still have them somewhere so will check if I think of it.

For those that aren't with the EE group, what's the 'next best thing' on the market to purchase?

Some useful info http://ee.co.uk/content/dam/ee-help/Help-PDFs/EE%20Power_terms%20and%20conditions_300315.pdf

Pissing down anyway.

That's very convenient as I'd assumed. Hopefully the spring prop they store is of a substantial size to the point CS detectives can determine it's not a cooksport spring.

I'd think about trying the following: "Can you lift it out of the bin please and hold on to it so I can send it back to the manufacturer and get a replacement? Thanks" Let's hope that when you go down there, they don't tell you the bins were emptied 5 minutes after it was disposed of, and...

Before someone reads that and thinks it's OK, can you clarify if that was recently or 20 years ago when you were undetectable unless an officer actually pulled you over and checked?

A chap I know sends his cars in to a Halfords Autocentre and rarely has a problem. I doubt they intentionally employ incompetent mechanics, so it's just a luck of the draw whether you get a decent tester or not. I hear they do MOT's for around £25, and I've 4 cars which need MOT's in the next...

Car up on axle stands Get someone to race up through the gears whilst you hold a file against the disc. Do not do this.

Tracking by eye FTW.

Do you have a picture of the car to let us decide whether you bought a Megane without realizing the difference?

What's the prize?
