Have you undone the retaining bracket to the side? 13mm socket required IIRC.

Only 9 years? Worth a letter to the manufacturer listing your rights IMO.

Bloody timewasters. X

From experience I'd personally just find a place that will paint them professionally at a competitive rate.

PMSL. Didn't want to waste 30 mins disconnecting, so rather than playing safe and just waiting, you spent 2/3 of the time you wanted to save by searching! If you'd just...

I've one here if you want one.

PMSL good buy! I bought a Xsara VTS a couple of years ago which was used to transport chickens around a farm. Was full of corn and chicken poo.

2 small flat head screwdrivers in each clip working your way along.

I get the impression it's just a reduced fee loophole where the bloke has advertised it in a category like parts and accessories, put the low BIN to pay minimal fees and is just using it for maximum exposure at a low price with the actual asking price listed within.

Fair play for doing it while you can. I was tempted to do similar and buy a couple of Cosworths for the sake of it 'because I could' when I had a healthy house deposit sat earning little interest. I never got around to it for fear of finding a house and it being tied up.

Geography fail ;)

That's a point it's had the oil drained!

The only reason I ask is because mikeh raised the question in my for sale thread for the engine. If he's genuinely interested and prepared to purchase based on a healthy result I will buy a compression tester and put the time in to fit/remove the gearbox to do a test.

Thanks for the info chaps :)

Looking to do a compression test on a 172 engine which is no longer fitted in the car - therefore is obviously unable to be cranked by key. From looking on line hand cranking with a breaker bar is highly likely to be a wasted effort. The gearbox isn't fitted so neither is the starter. Can I...

Plus he's likely to be much cheaper than other quotes - especially a main dealer.

I was just going to reply saying that's likely to be a Cat C. I took in a Cat C 306 last month to break - Was about the same sort of damge as that. Reason for it being a C over a D was the wheel catching it. I pulled it with my hands and tbh, I had people stood next to it wondering what was...

Get a quote from Dan (may even be listed in his trader section list of services) and a couple from garages in the area. Then have a read of the 'Had my belt done and now it runs s**t/is slow' and then weigh up if 110 miles of driving is worth the piece of mind and stamp.

Dan@SJM will sort you out. He's in Street, Somerset - but worth the fairly short trip for piece of mind.

Should be yeah.

There's a good chance the OP changed the actual car battery today not the keyfob one.

I had this years ago. In the end I took the cup elsewhere and paid another fee as the bloke wasn't having any of it whatsoever.

Registered Oct 2002 IIRC. 52 plate.

I can't say I've ever had mine recorded as 'petrol car'.

imprezaworks check your tax disc ;)

Unfortunately these things happen. At least everyone involved is well :)

Worth noting that underneath the barrel are 2 'tabs'. When the key is turned to the correct release position, these tabs become able to be pushed in with an impliment such as a screw driver, thus enabling the barrel to be slid out.

How many miles do you do a year?

The one I was thinking of was a flash game from many moons ago. http://www.helicoptergame.net/ This one:

This would have been before apps. Almost tempted to say it could have been a Miniclips game.
