So I'm getting myself sorted to try and do a decent clean on my car, looking at APC and then wondered if I had something that might do the job already.
I have a random bottle of AG Motorcycle Cleaner. States on the bottle you can use it all over a bike. No idea if the paint is similar on them...
they'd also managed to break the mid timing belt cover and just glued it together flol.
bent part of the exhaust pulley (thanks for the spare Mick!) too, and the tensioner wouldn't even move.
funfunfun! thanks to my dad and renparts, all back together and running. not had a chance to really...
renparts have come through once again.
still can't believe how they mullered it. this is why you go to specialists. (belt done previous to me buying it).
Danlp6 - they've hacked a chunk.out of it with a grinder :D
Having my belts changed today and he's found this!
Aux belt support bracket.
Has anyone got one? Or know where to get one without going via stealerships?
Metal tyre cap valves are fcuking crap! My dad had a pair that seized on, completley mullered the valves getting them off!
2 different metals don't mix well especially in that area!
The springs are very similar, not exactly the same. However the options from eibach and cooksport are universal for 1*2 use. So they are talking sense.
So the 2.0 16v bullets, are they actually metal, or is it just shiny plastic? Asking as they need some attention, and I'll either use some scratchx or metal polish, depending on material.
Also, going to be a while till I can get any swirls properly sorted out, currently use SRP before a...
Mini Meet Pics - Zed, Barney & Wagon Content..
Z4 and the Toledo look very nice, purple does work!
The only thing I don't like for the Wagon is the wheels, but that's just my taste. They don't seem to have aged as badly as the saloons IMO.
Blackcircles £78 , Bestbuytyres.co.uk (they use Drexel fitting centres a fair bit I think) Are currently £74 ish , F1 Autocentres £77
RS2s are more expensive on the above sites from what I can see in the same sizes.
(I'm looking at tyres for mine hence knowing prices lol)
Much as I'd like to meet up, I'm skint as fcuk till after Llandow. Put ze house on the market (painting fcuking everything to make it look presentable) and I'm going to be handing over a considerable amount of money to Mick too. Along with new tyres, and a problem I haven't isolated yet, and...
I put a Miltek on mine myself last year, no EML light came up or anything.
The Decat could throw some errors up as presumably theres an overead on the second lamda?
If its running rough, I'd highly doubt its because of the decat or exhaust, otherwise there would ve a lot of posts about similar...
Yay, someone replied to my main question about the tracking! :D I'm going to get the tyres changed as soon as I can I think, then get Mick to have a look.
I reckon it could be something to do with the rear shocks but although I'm a mechy fitter for work, cars aren't in my comfort zone...
