When you need 306 parts - PM me ;) It's a Scorpion backbox and a standard mid section. It's coming off because it blows slightly. I bought another car with a Magnex, but that's a 4" tailpipe which I don't want. Typically a week before it came up for sale I moved on a custom made stainless...

I agree it's a tad too low but I shall leave it for now. If it was a quick job like a 1*2 I'd have sorted it by now, but I'd want to strip it all down and refresh the lot with new bearings whilst I was there. At the moment with everything else I've got going on (bought another 2 to break, have...

The pic of the 205 and XR3 in the grass look like they've only been there a couple of months. Not even a few rotten leaves shelved on the wipers. Grass grows quick.

I had my first 306 GTi6 as a teenager nearly 10 years ago. In 2009 I got rid in favour of a 172 Cup which I continuously rated as a better buy. Not necessarily a better car, but a better buy due to age, general condition etc. I've always felt the Clios are slightly quicker but prefer the way the...

I bought a car last week without a key. The steering lock was solid so I just smashed the retaining pins off with a chisel.

Dust your car in pepper.

Scrapyard, wanted section, eBay.

Not much beats a jaunt over Exmoor early in the evening with the sun coming down. Welcome to the club!

I wish the Halfords 150 piece had come with a deep 16mm or room to clip extras in. It's something I find myself needing most out of items not included.

Welcome to the club, Zarko_b!

Funilly enough Chi I spotted that in my stack the other evening. Drop me a PM when you get a minute :)

They are something like £16/£17 a plate IIRC which is an outrage :D :) Since noticed his thread and he's sorted me out a set

Where are people buying number plates from these days? I want a new standard pair - happy to have the BS marking etc, but would rather not have a company name to the centre as a slogan. Many years ago I used these guys: http://www.myshowplates.com/index.asp They are cheap enough at a shade...

@bristolnate Noticed a LY 182 yesterday in Bristol at around 7.30? ish give or take an hour. Would it have possibly been you? I forget where exactly it was to be honest - somewhere past Filton IIRC. I noticed it but didn't pay any attention until I just noticed a post by you which triggered...

I went into a bakery the other day as I fancied something sweet. I noticed a nice looking cream cake so I asked the price. "A pound." How about this large cinnamon whirl? "A pound. Everything you see here is a pound" Superb. I'll go for this one in the corner. "£2.50 please." You said...

What did you pay in the end?

Has anyone used that company in the past?

Pop to an independant garage on a Friday afternoon/Saturday morning. More than likely they will fit them for you for £20 cash.

Take your rears out and leave them along with your parcel shelf at home and you should have no trouble getting them in the back.

Such an ugly wheel IMO.

You can have the most dedicated reps in the world, but unless people really want to attend a meet you'll struggle to persuade people to go. As mentioned, those that are keen need to start a thread, with a date and a location within the title and see what happens. It's always the 'where/when?!'...

Do you have a pretty substantial, space framed 205 in your collection Cameron?

I suppose a lot of customers wouldn't notice or worry so some mechanics don't concern themselves about superficial damage if it rarely comes back as a complaint. I was in a Ford workshop last week watching a chap working, and he lifted a Focus headlight out, laid it lense down on the top of...

Nik wouldn't take £7 cash?

Plus at Llandow you can have more than one car out at a time, thus allowing you to go on and off as many times as you like without affecting anyone else. For that reason I wouldn't be interested if it was 20 minute stints each as it wouldn't be worth it.

Using a house brick as a sanding block FTL.

You could hit the disc with a hammer without even attempting to remove/drill and it would just shear the head of the torx screw off - but I wouldn't recommend brute force where it isn't strictly neccesary. I can't see your image on this PC but once the head is drilled off you can remove the...

I'd be interested, but not at £76 for the seat time you'd get compared to that of waiting for the other 14 to have their stints.

I didn't bother this year because I thought exactly the same when I went last year. At £23/£24 a ticket with postage taken into account it makes it around twice the price of the early bird Action Day tickets - for a show with half as much to see. Combe car park attendants do always appear to...

Satchshift FTW!
